    in my opinion, housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living

      I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you're careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn't king at all in this time.

      Many people minimise the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm solvent. I looked for licenced advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.

      interest rates caused this... super low for 15 years then drop it to 0. spend alllllll that money you dont have on a brick and mortar "asset" and rent it out to someone for them to pay off the debt... hoping that you always have a tenant that reliably pay that rent to cover your debt and whatever interest is accruing...
      what everyone didnt expect is all of a suddent the borrowing costs inching upwards.
      just gotta factor in everyone else doing this and the result is million dollar shoeboxes in towers....

    Canada is falling apart. Unemployment rates are rising. inflation is ridiculous. Housing is insane. It's unlivable here. Homelessness will double by this time next year.

    The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

    Canada will start spending 2% of its annual GDP on defense as government spending and deficits are set to rise astronomically and that means HIGHER TAXES, HIGHER INFLATION, and cutback on government programs such as housing and social assistance.
    Bank of Canada is setting the economy for "WAR TIME mode", this will be BoC most priority now, and not mortgage delinquency.
    The Canadian real estate CASINO is about to CLOSE down for good and those record LOW rates and good times for the past 20+ years will NEVER EVER come back again at least in our lifetimes.
    Warning to all Realtors, Speculators, House Flippers, Mortgage Brokers, Developers, Investors, and Transnational Organized Criminal Organizations/ Money Launderers/Drug Cartels and Canada's Mainstream Media, you will NEVER see those GOOD DAYS in Canadian real estate again.
    BoC governor knows something that we, the public don't know, and that would be incoming Global Geopolitical Instability/Tensions/Conflicts, HIGH Inflation, and WAR TIME economy.
    The house developers' priorities are to try to keep the Home Inventories LOW and House Prices HIGH.
    They will NOT invest even a PENNY in building homes in the next decades, all 3 levels of government must come up with $2.3 to 2.8 TRILLION dollars to build 3.1 million units of shoe box size rental units in the next decade to cover the FRACTION of housing shortages in Canada.

    Why is no one talking about the investor factor? For a while there 1 in 3 of every property purchased was scooped up by an investor. They are buying up.the supply there that was supposed to be for first time home buyer's. Most canadians are counting on their home being their retirement fund. The financialization of housing is the problem and no government is going to fix this and be responsible for taking money away from either of those groups.
