That is the biggest drop in the last 36 years. I haven't found stats for Canada yet, but it is my understanding things aren't nearly as bad here.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
The fall in housing prices has been under intense media scrutiny for the last 3 months, pockets of overpriced areas in the US have been falling. There is a prediction that all prices will be coming down soon in the US, and to some extent in Canada. The real issue is if the fall will be at a reasonable pace, or if it will be a bubble bursting as has been the case in a few upscale areas around Boston, New York and California.
