   Regarding Ross Kay, who has accused CREB of posting misleading statistics, by Ann-Marie Lurie:

   One outspoken critic of organized real estate recently wrote a blog in which he questioned the integrity of the data at some real estate boards in Canada, including CREB®’s.

   If you hear questions from the public about this matter, CREB® would like to assure you that there is no significant double-reporting of sales in our MLS® System, nor is there any distortion of data involving the reporting of so-called “private sales”, as the blog’s author referred to them.

   “There is no such thing as a ‘private sale’ in the MLS® System – all sales are recorded and treated equally,” says Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB®’s chief economist.

   If you have any questions about the data on CREB®’s MLS® System, please contact Ann-Marie at: ann-marie.lurie@creb.ca. http://www.creblink.com/crebtalk/Articles/2013/September/CREB_MLS_System_database/

   Poor OLD gartho – WRONG AGAIN

   Maybe he should write a book called – Do the opposite of what I say and get RICH.

   No RE collapse
   No interest rates skyrocketing
   No end to QE
   No double and triple reporting of house sales

   Honest hard working people have lost $100’s of thousands by listening to that clown.

   Sad

   Pretty soon he start chirping the bottom is in – BUY BUY BUY

   What a goof!
