There are two ways of looking at it. One is the element of fairness. I think that addressing blind bidding will improve fairness, because the real estate industry owes fairness both to sellers and to buyers.
As far as its impact on housing prices goes, I'm afraid it would have a limited impact, if any, on the overall housing prices nationally. It may have a local impact, but that impact would not aggregate into a bigger noticeable impact on housing prices Canada-wide.
The principle of fairness is at play here. For that purpose, I think blind bidding has to be structured in a different way.
