Lots of optionsSo what does history tell us about typical California buyer’s markets compared with supposedly seller-friendly times? California averaged a 26% lower sales rate in buyer’s markets vs. seller’s markets. Buyer’s bustThe spreadsheet says California was in buyer’s market status one-third of the time since 1990. So any buyer’s market should come with a warning label – and a financial calamity may be required to create another one for California house hunters.

government's plan to build 130,000 multi-unit homes 'won't solve the shortage.' The province estimates the initiatives could create 130,000 new, small-scale homes over the next decade. In 2018, the city approved a housing plan that effectively spelled the end of single-family zoning in the city. "Constructing mostly high-rise condo towers or single-family homes means B.C. isn't building enough small-scale multi-unit homes that fit into existing neighbourhoods and give people more housing options that are within reach.''

Dear Liz: I’m receiving numerous email offers from big banks offering significant incentives and bonuses to open checking and savings accounts. I usually don’t pay much attention to them but the latest one is offering $900 to open these accounts. Answer: Banks offer these incentives to lure in new customers, but you’re wise to consider all the potential costs because the bonuses may be less lucrative than they appear. Plus, many banks that offer sign-up incentives pay a paltry interest rate or no interest at all. Answer: Qualified charitable distributions can be a great solution for people who have saved more in their retirement accounts than they need and who want to benefit good causes.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi attends a meeting with his Tajik counterpart Emomali Rakhmon in Dushanbe, Tajikistan November 8, 2023. Press Service of the President of Tajikistan/Handout via REUTERS/File PhotoIranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Saturday that the time had come for action over the conflict in Gaza rather than talk as he headed to Saudi Arabia to attend a summit on the war between Israel and Hamas militants.

Others nominated for the awards she received are victims, as are her Indigenous fans, says Tim JohnsonTim Johnson feels strongly that “any and all” Juno awards given to Buffy Sainte-Marie intended to recognize Canadian and Indigenous musicians, should be rescinded. He has been a Juno awards judge for the Indigenous arts category. Sainte-Marie’s Power in the Blood won the award, which is intended to recognize Indigenous artists. She learned of her Indigenous ancestry through her mother, who was part Mi’kmaq, she said, and she was adopted by an Indigenous family as a young adult — a family who continues to support her. We still have over 600 Indigenous nations in Canada, with Indigenous populations.

It was our first time trying this new strategy where we don’t exchange, so we weren’t super sure what to expect. We were very nervous to go out and try something new, but we’re very happy with today’s result. We’ve often struggled off the start, myself especially because I’m a little slower, but we nailed that aspect of it today. We’re happy to get this first one done and are looking forward to improving for the next one. The Japanese have a great team, and we have a one-second gap to close on them, so a few weeks of training and perfecting the strategy will hopefully help us push for the top of the podium again.”

This week’s Freedom Defender—picked by Josh—is Ryan O’Connor, Partner with Zayouna Law Firm. Here’s Josh’s summary:I picked Ryan because Ryan has fought against so many insane COVID-19 restrictions in cases that don’t always get a lot of media attention but that mean a lot to the people involved. Ryan shamed the Ontario government into allowing gyms to open for people with disabilities during the January 2022 lockdown, which was discriminatory at a time when Leafs, Sens and Raptors were allowed to go to gyms. Just this past week, Ryan successfully secured the withdrawal of charges against people facing $6,000 fines for showing up at the border without valid PCR test results during the pandemic. Way to go, Ryan!
