Month: December 2017

Well folks, it’s that time of year again.

It’s time for you to pull yourselves away from the world of real estate, and random internet commenters, and go spend some time with your family!

2017 was a crazy year in real estate, and by far, the best year I’ve ever seen on TRB.

A very special thanks to my most frequent commenters on Toronto Realty Blog: Kyle, Chris, Appraiser, Condodweller, Ralph Cramdown, Libertarian, Kramer, Ed, Marina, Mike, T, Andrew, Paully, GinaTO, Jeff316, Geoff, Professional Shanker, Max, Joel, Gina, Lui, Steve, Sarah, Real Estate Millennial, Francesca, Not Harold, A Grant, Izzy Bebibida, Rachelle, RPG, O, Joe Q., Mark N, Jennifer, Natrx, Jeremy, Boris, Frances, crazyegg, Jason, Daniel, Maxmax, BJA, McBloggert, David (Not The David Who Runs This Website) JCM, IanC, Julia, Mr. Late, David, Carl, Tina, JG, Juan, Jonnathan, Buckley B. Buckington, Pete, Tamir, H. Marshall, JC, EDWIN, Alexander, Jack, John, ak, vancouverite, Sevyn, AT555, and anybody else that I may have apologetically missed, using this extremely inexact science of scouring the backend of TRB for commenters.

Back on January 2nd.  Have a great holiday, everybody!

David.

This is becoming an annual feature, now in my third year of providing both the “Top Five Blog Posts” as well as “Top Five Real Estate Stories,” the latter of which you’ll see on Wednesday.

Combing through the 2017 archives, some 150 posts, was a real trip!  To see how we started the year, where the conversations took us, and the topics we covered – it was a welcome series of flashbacks!

So today, let’s take a look at the “Top Five” blog posts, chosen by yours truly.  Don’t worry, you’ll have your chance to chime in as well…
