    I want to let people in the comments know that this is not 2008. Immigration was different and the demand for housing was not the same. I remember I bought a BMW in 2008 and it was extremely rare to see a BMW, Benz or Audi or Range Rover…. Today what do you guys see? Everyone has a luxury car or luxury items. People have put more emphasis on home ownership and there’s more self made millionaires than there was ever before. I think 2026/2027 we will see 2022 pricing. Also, the people who lose their jobs normally aren’t people who own homes. If that were the case why hasn’t there been mass foreclosures/power of sales. Rates are coming down, house prices will rise whether people like it or not. I actually predict there will be a shortage of freehold homes by 2030 unless you want a condo.

    • @livinginthelowermainland
      @livinginthelowermainland 16 днів тому

      This is a good take. It's like when people were predicting that interest rates would go back to 18% because "they were there in the past". Sorry, not going to happen. I think 2026/2027 is a very reasonable timeframe to get back to 2022 pricing as home prices are still 10-15% below peak prices dependent on property type and location.

      @@livinginthelowermainland​​⁠oh I kept telling everyone rates were never going to the moon!! I think some people do not live on planet earth. I know everyone wants housing to crash yes I get it but if it were to crash to catch up with incomes, 1- no one wants an asset that doesn’t appreciate and 2 - it would make the prices sky high again because of demand. Everyone would try to buy a home 3 - the banks would be in trouble 4 - existing home owners would walk away. You will not see what happened in the states happen here. It never did. Never has. Never will. We need to be realistic here! Rates are coming down - even at 3% or even 3.5% - that will make people on the sidelines buy. With the recent rules the government has implemented- we will eventually see action in the housing market, it’s just a matter of time. Great video!! 🎉

    Hey man. This is just a peer review-curious of your thoughts. My girlfriend owns property in Canada so I’m paying attention to the market and curious of the thoughts of boots on the ground. I passed the cfa exams all levels, worked on Wall Street and later private equity and have an economics degree from a top 10 American university where I graduated in the top 5% of the class. Here is my critique of how you guys are thinking about this: 1. Rate to cap rate relationship: the real estate industry relies on cap rates exceeding cost of debt. They currently do not and prices or rates or a combination thereof have to fall materially for that relationship to be regained. Divergence is the quintessential sign of price speculation above and beyond fundamentals 2. Rates rose too quickly and too significantly in combination with a supply disruption: the low rate environment had 5 year fixed periods in Canada. When these adjustable rates hit, payments on speculative assets will triple. Therefore, the rate raises have barely had an effect on the residential market yet aside from halting excessive speculation. Rates have to fall materially before those variable rates hit. This is even worse in the us where we have 30 year fixed and I’m not sure how that will ultimately flow through. 3. Potential saving grace: prices may be buoyed by Canada’s excessive regulation against foreign purchases and the supply constraints caused by lack of labor and continued dumb money speculation.

    The last time interest rates dropped from very high to very low, we saw one of the biggest recessions in history. This was in 2008. What are your thoughts on that? What if the economy does bad despite of the record low interest rates .. will people be able to afford high priced homes?

      During the end of 2008 to 2009, tons of people lost their jobs. Unemployment rate jumped from 6% to 8.7%. Right now, Unemployment rate has been steadily going up since April 2023 with no brakes. (Aug 6.6%). Canadian GDP growth is also stagnant, 2025 forecast is also stagnant. Nevertheless, one global financial disaster will most likely push Canada off a cliff. That's how fragile the economy is. RBC spending reports for Aug 2024 also shows consumer retails entered negative territory since March 2024.

      @livinginthelowermainland 25 днів тому

      Employment definitely plays a big role. There's also a strong argument for the fact that we're already in a recession. So we will just have to see. Interest rates are not the be-all-end-all but they play a big part. If you look at the data, interest rates started dropping in January 2008 from 4.25% to 0.25% in April 2009 with the majority of that happening in a few months between October 2008 and January 2009. Home prices in the FV dropped from $499,800 in June 2008 to $451,200 in March 2009 and then rose from then until basically August 2016 where they hit $925,200 before pulling back and flatlining for a few years in 2018 to 2020. Then we all know what happened when rates dropped again in 2020...

    Hello, I am one of the renters, he submitted the wrong images of the property, the rental units look nothing like the ones submitted. The other tenants have told me that the arbitrator and the owners seemed to know each other very well. The vents have never been cleaned since they bought the place, the window is broken in the bathroom since purchase, the furnace constantly quits working, our carpets are over a decade old, the wiring and breakers are suspect and on and on,, Most of this problems were known when they purchased it. Right now, I just submitted a dispute for eviction but I dont know how to do it properly. Ive emailed Ravi Kahlon, the housing minister, and he sent me the steps to dispute, however Tracc, Taps, and a local lawyers office who help with this sort of thing are " too busy" to get involved and I go in circles, as do the other tenants. Please help us if you can, Anyone.. I am on long term disabilty and this is beyond my understanding.

    🎯 Interest rates and mortgage have nothing to do with real estate markets now. It's now the matter of 'recession' that Canada enters into. Fear of tomorrow unemployment, fear of tomorrow stock/finance market collapse, fear of tomorrow condo market collapse, etc. No one to buy anything. No one to invest into anything. Cash is the savior and king. Winter idle market season coming soon also. New condos to flood next year as well. Stronger buyer's market ahead to last for a long long time. No big price cuts, no sell.

    Do you recommend a variable mortgage rate?

    • @livinginthelowermainland
      @livinginthelowermainland Місяць тому

      It really depends on your unique situation. It's definitely something I would consider more seriously now than 1 year ago. But it requires a more in-depth conversation with your mortgage professional to understand your future goals, risk tolerance, financial situation, etc. Historically, taking a variable has been the better option for 28 out of the last 30 years.

    It would seem that once again the government isnt understanding how supply and demand work. They are incentivizing demand for homes while merely paying lip service to stabilizing the demand. There is zero chance of the promised 4 million homes being built by 2031. Hell even a fraction of that is most likely not going to happen regardless of the party in power

      Bingo. That promise for 4 million by 2031 homes was absurd but it sure sounded nice on surface level didn't it? Unfortunately, people are more often swayed by words and emotions than data and facts.

      @@DanPocketRocket could be! There's a pretty strong argument to be made that we're already in a recession. I think we probably need to see another 0.75-1% in rate cuts before we start to see any major turn in market activity & prices. So that could be anywhere from January to April. Unemployment numbers are also up though. So it's an interesting storm, that's for sure. All I can say is things always seem to happen a lot quicker and more drastically than I expect.

    Why would tenants have to pay for the landlord’s bad investment decisions? Owners get greedy too and that’s why they had a variable mortgage instead of fixed.

    They were allowed to raise rent because the mortgage payment has gone up. Will they reduce the rent when the mortgage payment goes back down. I sincerely doubt they will but that would be fair.

    I'm afraid your commentary in this video goes beyond 'personal opinion' and telling the advantages of each respective building. Your constant use of words and phrases like 'lifestyle' and 'luxury living' make you sound like one of the mindless new development agents and their ad firms that don't really say much of substance, and instead make it sound like every waking breath at these locations is like one cocaine high after another. Better to stick to actual specifics and leave the endless flattering adjectives aside.
