In contrast, during the same period, condo sales were up 4.9% compared to May 2012.

Looking for a fresh way to liven up your garden walls? Think plants, not paintings.
Living pictures -- cuttings of assorted succulents woven together in everything from picture frames to pallet boxes -- have caught on among garden designers and landscapers this spring as an easy, modern way to add colour and texture to an outdoor space.
"Living pictures composed of succulents have a gorgeous sculptural quality that work surprisingly well in a number of different esthetics -- contemporary, bohemian, Southwestern and more," says Irene Edwards, executive editor of Lonny home design magazine. "They're great for urban dwellers with limited space."
Living pictures are also nearly maintenance-free (that is to say, hard to kill)....
