Will March Real Estate Sales be horrible because of HST/PST?

Everyone's favourite car cam salesman is without this vehicle in this clip, but Ian Watt's latest could be touching on what might emerge as a common theme this month.

The HST gets repealed at the end of March and we will see the return of the PST.  Many in real estate are expecting a significant impact for sales.

As we all know sales are down, but are the few sales that might occur this month being discouraged, sellers being pushed to hold closing off until April?

Conversely, will April see a Tsunami of new listings from sellers holding back for the same reason?

Could be an interesting month for statistics.
