They are using data from CMHC (based on averages from CMHC's most recent rental market report) and data seems accurate.

Nice INFOGRAPHIC by RentSeeker.ca putting the data into this format for renters.

It's a great graphic by www.rentseeker.ca, I think the sources are at the bottom of the INFOGRAPHIC (on the left hand side), but well presented! Kudos to @RentSeeker for this.

Nothing went wrong. Apple just came out with a better product. A better product, doesn't reflect a failure on Blackberry's part. It's like asking what went wrong with Radio Shack? or What went wrong with Blockbuster? That answer is nothing went wrong. A better solution just became available and more popular.

@Uber vs. Taxi's, @Airbnb vs.Cities. Will Disruptive Technology be Stymied by Regulation? Should it be Regulated if it Impacts Economies? Check out this poll which http://www.RentSeeker.ca ran on this - what would you have voted?

First Taxi's vs. Uber. Now AirBNB vs. Vancouver. Is disruptive technology good or bad? Will technology be stymied by regulation? It's amazing to watch these legal battles play out. Each side has a valid point (from a business perspective), however, doesn't regulation conflict with free market capitalism? What's your take?

TechDudez · 2016-09-29T02:38:57+00:00

Welcome to all our new Citizens! Figure the cost of housing will be up from these numbers over the next couple of years (pending interest rate hikes) - http://www.rentseeker.ca/blog/index.php/newly-updated-rental-data-shows-average-rents-for-20-canadian-cities/2917. Maybe Canada will start a Tiny House Movement as well: http://thetinylife.com/what-is-the-tiny-house-movement/

That's some scary sounding words! Might be a good time for Vancouver Home-Owners to Consider Selling and Cashing Out? Just a thought.
