Are the headlines and lead sentences written by real estate industry cheerleaders, by chance?

"Hot"? "Sizzling"?

Look, a more accurate way to describe the Toronto real estate landscape for houses is to use words like "prohibitively expensive" and "maladaptive" and "troubling" and "out of balance" and "disconcerting" and "overheated" and "flooded by overseas money".

Please stop cheerleading for the real estate industry. Yes, they buy ads in your paper, but come on, there is no need to give them such glee in the way the articles are written...
