"Benefits from proper pricing"?

Hello?

Proper pricing?

Um, no, Globe and Mail, close to two and a half million dollars for a small house on a small lot is actually CRAZY PROHIBITIVE TOXIC pricing. So please stop doing your best to get society to accept as "normal" the maladaptive mess that is the Vancouver housing market. 

And, oh, gee, what a SHOCK, the house you mention was bought by an overseas buyer for a price over asking.

So REALLY what that sale benefited from was the same old same old: Massive waves of overseas money flooding into Vancouver real estate from overseas, mainly from China.
