text: Hello Idon,
  
  Your first claim was a drop of about 10 percent, your second claim is a drop of about 20 percent - what is your next claim going to be, a drop of 40 percent?
  
  And on what planet is there a Vancouver where the average house price is $878,000?!?
  
  It certainly is not planet Earth, where Vancouver houses sell for about twice that.
  
  You have decided, for some unknown reason, to focus in on prices during the month of January in multiple years (a curious choice, given that volumes sold slow to a trickle with bad winter weather), but okay, fine, January it is. Detached house prices in Vancouver in January of 2017 were at 1.47 million, and in January 2016 were at 1.27 million (website below, with graph). Um, some price drop, dude!
  
  Look at BOTH graphs, SAME thing: The drop is ONLY over six months, and we are only about 8 months post peak - so you CANNOT know the year-year change!
