Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.
When ‘Carol Vivian Constable’ is trading, there's no nonsense and no excuses. She wins the trade and you win. Take the loss, I promise she'll take one with you.
I think it's time to make it more appealing for potential buyers. Real estate can be quite the rollercoaster! the stress and uncertainty are getting to me. I think I'll cut rents to attract potential buyers and exit the market, but i'm at crossroads if to allocate the entire $680k liquidity value to my stock portfolio?
"Overall, buyers hold a lot of the cards right now, and sellers are having to give out more concessions to close a deal." All the best, buying on sale is actually one of the best ways to invest in stocks, and advisors are ideally suited for such task
Until the Fed clamps down even further I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.
I advise you to invest in stocks to balance out your real estate, Even the worst recessions offer wonderful buying opportunities in the markets if you're cautious. Volatility can also result in excellent short-term buy and sell opportunities. This is not financial advice, but buy now because cash is definitely not king right now!
Soon, cheap homes won't be cheap anymore because prices today will look like dips tomorrow. I think inflation will cause panic until the Fed tightens its grip even more. You can't just pull the band-aid Off half way. Booms and busts are the ups and downs of the economy, and they will affect any investments. If you are at a crossroads or need honest advice on the best steps to take right now, it is best to get counsel from a financial expert.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
Carol Vivian Constable is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
I’m a new dad, I moved to the Bay Area a few years ago and I’m thinking of purchasing a single family home, but with real estate prices currently through the roof, is it still a good idea to buy a home or should I invest in stocks for now and just wait for a housing market correction? I heard Nvidia and AMD are strong buys.
Certain Ai companies are rumoured to be overvalued and might cause a market correction, I’d suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I.
Mortgage rates are currently at an all time high since 2000(23 years) and based on statistics on inflation, we might see that number skyrocket further, a 30-year fixed rate was only 5% this time last year, so do I just keep waiting for a housing crash before buying or redirect my focus to the equity market
The stock market is no different, to maintain profit you need to have some in-depth knowledge on the market. I mostly just buy and hold stocks, but my portfolio has been mostly in the red for quite a while now. Unfortunately to be able to make good gains, you’ll need to be consistent and restructure your portfolio frequently.
In my opinion, it was much easier investing back in the 80s but it’s a lot trickier now, those making consistent profit in these times are professionals reason I’ve been using an advisor for the past 5 years to consistently build my portfolio in preparations for retirement.
Iynne Marie Stella is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
@runningfromabear8354 who said it was an insult? I truly admire communists. I know a few of them, they have very fortunate lives. I could only dream of having rich parents, my college and rent paid for as well as rent. All the communists I know are doing very well! Seems like a lot of the investors are millionaire communists from China, and clearly if one person from China can afford a million dollar home then they all can because they make the same wage right? Brilliant system if you ask me. No wonder the kids work from age 5
Who said it was an insult? All these buyers from China can afford our houses and they're communist. If they all make the same wage they must all be millionaires. It's clearly the winning team. Here I was thinking children in sweatshops had it bad turns out they're just getting paid an equal wage so they can buy up canadian homes. No wonder they want to influence elections. They know what's best for us. I personally wanna live in a world where anyone who doesn't share this ideology goes to prison. Thank God for going to university. It really opened my eyes, I didn't attend the classes but damn those freshmans lambos were sweet!
That is the best news for housing! The terms "investor" and "investment" are wrongly used in favorable light. The only real investor are those who add value to the society like by generating employment or adding to the GDP; not just adding to his/ her own net worth by making money out of money. Gamblers are not investors.
@@DrMarkyMark I have made my retirement by starting 3 small businesses over my lifetime. I have employed hundreds of people and contributed greatly to GDP. I paid my house off in 10 years with the profits and never relied on RE to make any money. My house is my home, not a chip in my portfolio. Does that make me a communist? My wife grew up in communist Poland and I find the basis of your reference to it offensive.
Condos are a terrible investment. As it gets older the maintenance fees gets insane. You are financially responsible for what your stupid neighbors are doing. You don't get to choose what and when you do things. The quality of your neighbors worsen as the building age.
Everyone that had a house pre covid hit the jackpot they can sell their house and buy a new house no problem but first time homebuyers will never have enough money to buy a house, the house prices went up too fast for the first time homebuyers to ever be able to afford, i blame the realtors for pushing the bidding wars during covid some even got caught having their family members bid against clients its all corrupt
lmfao without the floodgates of international students to rent them whos gonna pay the mortgage? and then theres whos gonna buy the property thats leveraged lolol. hilarious.
exactly you're right. international students get deported. these landlords will then sell . normal Canadians can finally buy the houses at a normal price
@@Yaz674 they did open a business... They started rooming homes for international students masquerading as a hotel/Airbnb business... It's a lucrative business housing international mba students
@@DrMarkyMark students yes. But pr cards are to be limited for work stays afterwards. If there's no "guaranteed escape from their shit hole" they won't bother.
All they talk about are the interest rates need to go down to afford a house, like you say the price of houses need to come down, no first time home owner could ever afford a house even if the interest rates go to 1%, the only people that would help would be people that have a house and want a bigger one
People in the comment sections talking like sky is falling. We have been there before and we will be there again and again. This just means money will be going to the stock market instead of housing. Good for stocks with dividends.
Heres a few points to consider. Housing price to income has vastly separated in a negative direction compared to years ago. Inflation is running rampant. The government says 3/4/5% when in reality every living person in Canada knows this is simply not true based on the items they choose to calculate it changing to keep the numbers low. Global debt is increasing exponentially not even just for future Canadian investors and a lot of sources claiming that (in the US from what Ive seen) they are the worst off financially in terms of savings. April 1 2022-March 1 2023 5.9 million visits to canadian food banks. Thats showing a vastly increasing percentage of people being pushed to poverty. Commercial (not residential) real estate is beginning to slide downwards as our GDP does with the revised numbers. Credit card delinquencies way up too Canadas national debt also increasing exponentially under the Big T. 14+ years since last big market falloff (usually much less time in between) Canadas productivity decreasing big time over the last 8/9 years under T-Dawg. None of these good things man Canada is definitely hurting.
There is a huge condo development in the heart of Niagara falls that has gone bankrupt and they are still taking money out of people's bank accounts. Yikes! If you look at the people commenting, it looks like everyone who bought was foreign. Why aren't we regulating that?
Buying a pre-construction condo is inherently risky by nature. What if the developer goes bankrupt in the mean time? Owners also have to consider that cost overruns could inflate the purchase price of the condo or the value of the condo could actually drop (at least in the current RE environment). In any event, even if would-be buyers decide to back out the developers could go after them and they would lose their deposit. IMO, condos are extremely overrated, anyway. They've always been seriously overpriced and on top of that condo fees are absolutely ridiculous with no reason to be. It's pure profiteering. It doesn't cost the property management company hundreds of dollars per month/per unit (amount to potentially tens of thousands per month) to maintain a building. Condo fees are a complete ripoff.
You sound bitter Who hurt you? Stop and think for a minute if these “speculators” weren’t buying most of the new developments who would. You should actually be thanking them as if they weren’t buying them developer’s wouldn’t have any reason to build. Imagine no condo been built in the past five years, if someone need to buy a place you might need to be on a waitlist and we know what demand do to price So raise a glass to all the speculators that make it possible 🥂
@@MarlonYonge prices would adjust for the people who might actually want to live there.. i have nothing to lose and everything to gain in house prices dropping like a rock across the board..
The "speculators" are people who take on risk and as a result condos get built which creates housing supply. If speculators leave the market then no condos are built, which is happening. See how you like the price of housing, including rental rates, in 2-3 years when those speculators you hate are gone.
@@maxothegreatwheela Bullshit. Housing as an investment is what created the bubble in the first place, if housing prices crash they will only crash to the point they are affordable for people who need homes. Canada is literally full of empty condos owned as an investment, empty because its easier to just hold an empty unit to sell later than to rent and deal with the headaches of being a landlord. This has to stop.
I'm surprised prices haven't completely dropped to pre-2015 levels with how much inventory there is. I've been making low-ball offers on a few resale condos only for the sellers to then take the listing off the market because they don't want to sell at a loss. Eventually the sellers will have to face reality and bite the bullet or they can risk going bankrupt and then the banks will be holding big leverage on the books. If prices don't drop, the banks will be having a huge crisis on their hands and it can affect the entire economy of the country. This is what leads to mass layoffs and Pension funds getting dwindled.
Or, they will continue to hold like most long term asset investors do and you Will continue to pay majority of our mortgages payments for us while sitting on the sidelines pretending you’re going to buy something
What happened here was a game of musical chairs, investors were borrowing with super low rates on ever shrinking condos where the price was doubling every few years until you had 500 sqft. condos for $500k+. Now the rates are going up, and it doesn't make sense to keep putting money in if you don't think the price is going to go up forever. They finally have find humans that want to live in the condos, but it turns out these properties were made for speculators only.
@@DrMarkyMark Small habits make big changes over time. It’s just a matter of time when the wealth gap in Canada increases. Trudeau even said himself housing needs to be affordable but house values cannot decrease. the baby boomer generation that have their house as part of their retirement plan will vote for whoever keeps their house values high. Its hard for me to believe that 67% of Canadians who are current homeowners will vote in a government that will decrease their biggest asset to potentially help people whom they will never meet or help the millions of new immigrant/refugees get into the housing market
@@DrMarkyMark I agree.. The worst part about the housing crisis is the very people who are able to manipulate it with interest rates/immigration/taxes are the biggest winners of property values. If I was in working in government yes I would invest heavily into housing where I can control the above 3 factors mentioned above. So no housing will not crash and yes baby boomers will vote whoever protects their retirement plans the best. They are the biggest voters as well
Sick of this repeated misquote that 67% of Canadians are homeowners. It's not even close ffs. Use your head, that doesn't even make sense. That quote is actually that 67% of Canadians live in houses that are owner-occupied. Repeat that last sentence 10 times, it does not mean the same thing as the misquoted first sentence. The actually percentage of Canadians that are homeowners is likely in the single digits.
We have a super saturated condo market. It's a powder keg. The speculator exit will be exponential when it starts. Hopefully all that arrogance goes with it
No, our politicians will go find the foreign buyers, inviting them to come invest in Canadian RE. Remember Christy Clark’s visit to Eastern Asia years ago? That’s what fueled the housing market in lower mainland after great financial crisis. Of course Canadians have short memory.
of course nobody in their right mind is buying micro condos built with band aids and toothpicks with condo fees of +900 CAD and going... nope, I don't want to risk dying overleveraged in that tin can with my family.
There is no point in buying a rental condo, you pay more property taxes, you pay taxes on rental income and you pay more capital gains tax when you sell.
Giving money to developers? GST off materials? Putting homes 3 feet apart from each other? NOT putting in proper rules around materials used on the outside of homes? One Fire now takes down a whole building. Houses as well. With out rules around how these "homes" are built .. NO sound barriers .. Forced to buy a small prison .. would you buy these? NO NO YOU SHOULD NOT!! You wonder why Stress related illness and our health is going down .. do you think there is a link? Hospital wait time increase and so do Developers pocket books!
this is why letting investors ruin a whole market was not a good idea...and please don't whine about interest rates,you are in too deep not the taxpayers problem my real money savings deserves better rates than a fictional broke investor or dreamer with no cash!
Sitting with 250K cash - would rather buy a commercial place over a residential one and if I can’t find good deals I’m gonna sit on the sidelines and watch. Fuck this system lol.
Investing in a nonproductive asset is only profitable on its way up. Once it plateaus it has nowhere to go but down. Investing in a productive assest like shares in a company payes you forever if the company is successful. That is the true definition of investing. This is what i learned in business school and life.
Keep waiting and buy the same place at 10% higher perimum in 2 years, be it condo or a house. There is something called inflation. Even if property prices drop further and stay down, they will eventually go up. Inflation is a real thing.
Don't really understand this, as we're in the middle of a housing crisis and toronto is one of the most expensive if not the most expensive cities in Canada, and in the world. Apparently rents are declining? Apparent'y there is a surplus of available condos? Doesn't make sense to me.
Rents aren't decling, and it's a surplus of condo's that can't sell "priced to high" some perspective, the old golden rule was 1 to 3. Meaning your mortgage you can maintain is at most 3x your gross income. The average income is 65k give or take, lets say 2 adults = 130k x 3 = 390k a bachelor micro condo is 500k plus fees. The smallest worse trash on the market and the average person or family can't afford to purchase it. What about a normal residence? 3 bedroom 1 washroom small house? Forget it, even 2 adults at 100k each cannot buy it We are at the point where the guitar string can't be tightened no more. Question is who gets slapped when it snaps.
Artificially trying to keep the market squeezed is ultimately going to be the deciding factor. Will we bite the bullet and take a hit to the housing market or will we keep chewing on this dry lemon to keep houses high a bit longer 🤷♂️
Maybe in the small towns, but not in Toronto or Vancouver. Got family and friends in banking sector as well as tons of entrepreneur groups, investor debt maybe over-leveraged from high interest rates, but most ‘investors’ have a ton of equity in the stock market as well as their businesses and other assets, they can pay off their investment properties if they had to, but they don’t want to move their investment from the stock market at the moment to service their debt so they’d rather sell even if at slight losses if needed given they don’t know what interest rates will do in the near future, but you can be sure they will not take heavy losses to sell, they’ll just suck up the cost and rent it out. The people close to bankruptcy are the first time homebuyers who bought over priced detached homes in outer suburbs who now can’t get a loan because prices have fallen from high interest rates and buyers waiting on the sidelines. This is the saddest part. Most investors already have homes in more expensive/established neighborhoods they bought prior to the price jump
@ewaste8318 The ones that sold, many did sell, good investors already saw this coming since the end of last year. And if you paid attention to US real estate news and our national legislations, you would have been prepared. Those that are stuck now are the greedy ones and they ain't the ones with the most revenue.
Won’t be surprised to see a big collapse and many losing their shirts. Just necessary sometimes when things are so out of balance. It won’t be the end of the world! Losing is part of investing.
Housing is not a good investment anymore. Why? Tornado's. It used to be that there were areas where Tornado's we're unlikely to hit, but now, Tornado's can hit anywhere there is heat and moist air, which is almost everywhere. Then when your house gets hit by the Tornado, you literally lose everything! Then there is the other side of the problem where you have heat and dry air, which i'm sure you already know is prone to wildfires.
@@bradc32 What do investors have anything to do with your tax money? If anything the new capital gains tax will be taking more from investors by big gov so they can waste it on more corrupt programs and send the money to Ukraine.
Screw condo market. You buy land or you don't buy at all. But don't worry, builders will stop building. Prices will not go down. Rent will recover. If you think you will get a crash, keep on waiting.
Why would anyone stay in canada at this point. Super expensive property, super high taxes and capital gains, zero ability to evict a free loader. Yeah, Canada is a great place to invest in real estate 🙄 you've been warned, it's a bloody nightmare.
The housing market is inflated and oversaturated with homes being on the market with astronomical price tags just stagnant for months. It is very clear that or generation will be likely one of the most devastating bubble pops in modern history. Seeking best possible ways to grow 250k into $1m+ and get a good house for retirement, I'm 48.
As much as we dont wanna buy home bc of possible market crash, we lose our money each month with rents. Its a lose lose situation tbh. Best decision to just move out the country.
I feel so sad for investors who can't see their investment property grow 20% every year. Is fleeing market news true or someone is crying foul to gain attention. I still see realtors listing properties they bought from builders 10 months ago. At one time , in some regions, 90 percent properties were scooped by investors.
@@OK-kw4rvS&P index fund, up 20% in 2023 and already up 18% this year and we're only in June. That's the opportunity cost of having a condo investment Condos, your cash flow negative for the past 2 years. Of course many are banking on equity but prices have stayed flat for 4 years meanwhile the S&P continues to pump monster returns Freehold is a different story, these will always be great investments. Condos are garbage
Home ownership needs to be a mediocre investment sector if you want affordability. Landlords are turning 7% profit per year thats huge and thats becayse of high rents
There is nothing regulating rent changes between tenants which is allowing the jumps of astronomical proportion. Needs to be more regulations and protections. Since covid bad faith evictions have sky rocketed all for the owners financial burdons to be passed on to their tenent. We should be talking about long term renters receiving equity back from the rental
When a landlord is found guilty of eviction in bad faith. We need to speed up the non payment of rent applications and should be number one priority. There are thousands of units full of tenants not paying
You gotta lesrn from front liners. Builders sold pre construction condos on fake pre approval letters which one can buy for 500 dollars. Thers is no regulation on real estate. One can borrow around 100k from bank . Give that as deposit to buy condo . Get fake pre approval letter which is arranged by realtor and mortgage broker plus mortgage specialists at banks. Now because its so easy to buy pre con condo there is a lot of demand and when there is a lot of demand prices get high. So builders sold pre con condos at higher prices . They know they can sell these condos at any price they set. RECO, FINTRAC, OSFI, CRA, government need a wake up call in Canada
@dhruvpatel8793 Mr. Patel you are right. Canada needs stricter policies to reduce financial crime in Canada. Apparently the fraud is happening at mass scale which is not good for Canadian people and also for Canadian government. Specualtors earning cash money paying NO income tax . Taking all subsidies from government and being rich with owning 4 to 5 properties. What I honestly do not understand why they DO NOT CARE? who so much fraud in the Canadian banking system. Honestly it's SHAME.
@dhruvpatel8793 Mr. Patel you are right. Money laundering, mortgage fraud is giving bad reputation to canada. This financial crime must stop . Banks are hiring people who can do fraud. One bank fires and other bank hires. The mobile mortgage reps are making tons of money. Their managers are invloved including realtors , mortgage brokers , accountants. I do not understand why government does not want to stop fraud.
I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?
Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm an adult, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.
Thank you for this tip. I must say, Desiree appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her online page, I thoroughly went through her resume, and I must say, it was quite impressive. I reached out to her, and I have booked a session with her.
The culmination of 2 decades of cheap money ( loans) artificially driving up house costs. Then the flood of massive government deficit spending creating the influx of lesser value money, investment firms had to park this money while inflation spikes. Add the insufferable grift of net Zero environmentalism shaking down lousy investments and sucking up more government dollars, well the chickens are coming home to roost.
So let's say I want to buy a main street property for 1.6-2 mil and build. The different levels of govt will go crazy charging me fees. Land transfer tax of 5%. 80k. Then a development fee of 114k per unit for family units. So let's say I build 7 units. 800k ish in development fees. Then the city will drag the process out for years because of their NIMBY friends. 7% interest on the 1.6 mil... 120k per yr? Add in GST adds 15% to all of the costs... WTF? Not to mention the stupid legal fees etc etc etc. And the gov't pretends they aren't one of the biggest problems in the last 20 yrs? It makes my head explode when they talk a big game about affordable housing. Because what they are actually talking about is public housing not affordable market housing for everybody.
If no pandemic, I believe likely no recession/inflation and therefore rates would have remained low and inflated market conditions would have been unchanged for now...people forget why we're here so suddenly. Not saying that fundamentals ever made sense but pandemic spending catching up with everyone
To protect the housing market, the Canadian government should hike development fees by 500%. If each new house takes $2MM to build, where can Canadian housing go? All the new immigrants will have to have a piece of roof, right? Force them to pay for it.
Why not talk about why investors and builders flooded to the condo market? Low cost housing isn't profitable thanks to government regulation, red tape and intervention and thus builders don't build low cost house and rather build condos to make a profit. Investors flooded to the condo market for the same reasons. Until people discuss why this happened it will continue to be a problem.
As long as municipal govts continue to have control of housing starts it will never change. The NIMBYs control all the suburb area's of all major city's in Canada because they control the municipal govt.
Okay , it is not that straight forward municipal governments ask for this ask for that (off site and on-site levies) weighting the cost before the construction begins. The housing market is a market just like when I buy a stock ...it drops in price. 🙂
i love these interviews. Managing the decline and whining about the music stopping without enough chairs. Looking forward to the collapse. Which city will go down in flames first? Toronto or Vancouver? LMAO. Vulture contrarians circling.
Let's put this in really simple terms..... under actuarial analysis of the datasets relative to the Ontario/GTA Real Estate based DEBT instrument expansion of the last 5-6 years.... there now exists what could potentially manifest as a ~$130-$150 Billion imbalance in servicing "GDI"(Gross Domestic Income) within Ontario's ~$800B GDP heading into the Mortgage renewal wave thru 2026 at any BoC rate maintained positive above the 2% cpi inflation target.(~3% to 3.5%) This is a Real Estate Crash.... as loosely translated to market fundamentals relative to sentiment/knock on effects determined by waning consumer demand/accommodative financial conditions now highly unlikely...... this intends an almost 25% decline "on average" across GTA Real Estate from here in the foreseeable. And by which the 1990-1997 GTA Real Estate correction pales in comparison
is JOHN PASALIS the only person in TORONTO you people can talk with ? plus he is an AGENT They sell Condos....another example of Canadians always listening and following the wrong voice.
I think investors are getting out because of the economics but most don’t want to deal with scum bag tenant’s. The law is totally on the renters side….not worth it anymore
More people in tents and RVs reflects badly on govt. Unfortunately landlords are on the wrong end of a highly political situation. Don't look for it to change anytime soon.
Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical.

I heard Nvidia and AMD are strong buys.
it’s a personal decision, but according to Forbes, housing activities will remain stagnant for the most part of the year, so maybe hold off a little.
well you could put a downpayment on a home and as well diversify as much as you can into Ai and pharm. stocks like Pfizer and JnJ.
Certain Ai companies are rumoured to be overvalued and might cause a market correction, I’d suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I.
this is all new to me, where do I find a fiduciary, can you recommend any?
Her name is “Annette Christine Conte” can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like
What!!!! No one is willing to spend 800k on a 500 sq ft box in the sky …? Shocking.
Mortgage rates are currently at an all time high since 2000(23 years) and based on statistics on inflation, we might see that number skyrocket further, a 30-year fixed rate was only 5% this time last year, so do I just keep waiting for a housing crash before buying or redirect my focus to the equity market
The stock market is no different, to maintain profit you need to have some in-depth knowledge on the market. I mostly just buy and hold stocks, but my portfolio has been mostly in the red for quite a while now. Unfortunately to be able to make good gains, you’ll need to be consistent and restructure your portfolio frequently.
In my opinion, it was much easier investing back in the 80s but it’s a lot trickier now, those making consistent profit in these times are professionals reason I’ve been using an advisor for the past 5 years to consistently build my portfolio in preparations for retirement.
My partner’s been considering going the same route, could you share more info please on the advisor that guides you
Iynne Marie Stella is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.

Brilliant system if you ask me. No wonder the kids work from age 5
Who said it was an insult? All these buyers from China can afford our houses and they're communist. If they all make the same wage they must all be millionaires. It's clearly the winning team.

Scalpers inverstors
That is the best news for housing! The terms "investor" and "investment" are wrongly used in favorable light. The only real investor are those who add value to the society like by generating employment or adding to the GDP; not just adding to his/ her own net worth by making money out of money. Gamblers are not investors.
The problem is that no one builds significant amounts of housing without investors.

I have made my retirement by starting 3 small businesses over my lifetime. I have employed hundreds of people and contributed greatly to GDP. I paid my house off in 10 years with the profits and never relied on RE to make any money. My house is my home, not a chip in my portfolio.

But I understand why one would ask it.
The correct question is, will anything reduce home prices by the 30+% they must be reduced by?
All they talk about are the interest rates need to go down to afford a house, like you say the price of houses need to come down, no first time home owner could ever afford a house even if the interest rates go to 1%, the only people that would help would be people that have a house and want a bigger one
People in the comment sections talking like sky is falling. We have been there before and we will be there again and again. This just means money will be going to the stock market instead of housing. Good for stocks with dividends.
Heres a few points to consider. Housing price to income has vastly separated in a negative direction compared to years ago.
Inflation is running rampant. The government says 3/4/5% when in reality every living person in Canada knows this is simply not true based on the items they choose to calculate it changing to keep the numbers low.
Global debt is increasing exponentially not even just for future Canadian investors and a lot of sources claiming that (in the US from what Ive seen) they are the worst off financially in terms of savings.
April 1 2022-March 1 2023 5.9 million visits to canadian food banks. Thats showing a vastly increasing percentage of people being pushed to poverty.
Commercial (not residential) real estate is beginning to slide downwards as our GDP does with the revised numbers.
Credit card delinquencies way up too
Canadas national debt also increasing exponentially under the Big T.
14+ years since last big market falloff (usually much less time in between)
Canadas productivity decreasing big time over the last 8/9 years under T-Dawg.
None of these good things man Canada is definitely hurting.
Housing is a lifestyle choice. If you want to invest, buy equities in companies.
There is a huge condo development in the heart of Niagara falls that has gone bankrupt and they are still taking money out of people's bank accounts. Yikes! If you look at the people commenting, it looks like everyone who bought was foreign. Why aren't we regulating that?
Cause the buyer doesnt care where the seller is from, they just want money, and people with money have a voice.
Add condo fees and additional costs for building up keep. This is a tough market
Why are they blaming the government for what investors bought and and builders built 😂
Because government controls all
100%
Yup, everyone was investor in gold rush 4 years ago
Immigration floodgates is the governments fault.
@@calhitmen immigration props up housing demand ...
Buying a pre-construction condo is inherently risky by nature. What if the developer goes bankrupt in the mean time? Owners also have to consider that cost overruns could inflate the purchase price of the condo or the value of the condo could actually drop (at least in the current RE environment). In any event, even if would-be buyers decide to back out the developers could go after them and they would lose their deposit. IMO, condos are extremely overrated, anyway. They've always been seriously overpriced and on top of that condo fees are absolutely ridiculous with no reason to be. It's pure profiteering. It doesn't cost the property management company hundreds of dollars per month/per unit (amount to potentially tens of thousands per month) to maintain a building. Condo fees are a complete ripoff.
Problem is that everyone is accustomed to low rates and housing prices only going up.
GOOD! You want to invest buy stocks not homes that we young people need more of.
Looks good on all these speculators ,hope you loose your shirts..
I hope they lose their fillings
You sound bitter Who hurt you?
Stop and think for a minute if these “speculators” weren’t buying most of the new developments who would.
You should actually be thanking them as if they weren’t buying them developer’s wouldn’t have any reason to build.
Imagine no condo been built in the past five years, if someone need to buy a place you might need to be on a waitlist and we know what demand do to price
So raise a glass to all the speculators that make it possible 🥂
@@MarlonYonge prices would adjust for the people who might actually want to live there.. i have nothing to lose and everything to gain in house prices dropping like a rock across the board..
The "speculators" are people who take on risk and as a result condos get built which creates housing supply. If speculators leave the market then no condos are built, which is happening. See how you like the price of housing, including rental rates, in 2-3 years when those speculators you hate are gone.
@@maxothegreatwheela Bullshit. Housing as an investment is what created the bubble in the first place, if housing prices crash they will only crash to the point they are affordable for people who need homes. Canada is literally full of empty condos owned as an investment, empty because its easier to just hold an empty unit to sell later than to rent and deal with the headaches of being a landlord. This has to stop.
I'm surprised prices haven't completely dropped to pre-2015 levels with how much inventory there is. I've been making low-ball offers on a few resale condos only for the sellers to then take the listing off the market because they don't want to sell at a loss. Eventually the sellers will have to face reality and bite the bullet or they can risk going bankrupt and then the banks will be holding big leverage on the books.
If prices don't drop, the banks will be having a huge crisis on their hands and it can affect the entire economy of the country. This is what leads to mass layoffs and Pension funds getting dwindled.

What happened here was a game of musical chairs, investors were borrowing with super low rates on ever shrinking condos where the price was doubling every few years until you had 500 sqft. condos for $500k+.

Small habits make big changes over time. It’s just a matter of time when the wealth gap in Canada increases. Trudeau even said himself housing needs to be affordable but house values cannot decrease. the baby boomer generation that have their house as part of their retirement plan will vote for whoever keeps their house values high.
Its hard for me to believe that 67% of Canadians who are current homeowners will vote in a government that will decrease their biggest asset to potentially help people whom they will never meet or help the millions of new immigrant/refugees get into the housing market
@@DrMarkyMark
I agree.. The worst part about the housing crisis is the very people who are able to manipulate it with interest rates/immigration/taxes are the biggest winners of property values. If I was in working in government yes I would invest heavily into housing where I can control the above 3 factors mentioned above.
So no housing will not crash and yes baby boomers will vote whoever protects their retirement plans the best. They are the biggest voters as well
Yes, keep renting, TIA! Save your $ for iPhone, Apps... Don't whine like bitch later on!
Sick of this repeated misquote that 67% of Canadians are homeowners. It's not even close ffs. Use your head, that doesn't even make sense. That quote is actually that 67% of Canadians live in houses that are owner-occupied. Repeat that last sentence 10 times, it does not mean the same thing as the misquoted first sentence. The actually percentage of Canadians that are homeowners is likely in the single digits.
We have a super saturated condo market. It's a powder keg. The speculator exit will be exponential when it starts. Hopefully all that arrogance goes with it

Rents aren't decling, and it's a surplus of condo's that can't sell "priced to high" some perspective, the old golden rule was 1 to 3. Meaning your mortgage you can maintain is at most 3x your gross income.
The average income is 65k give or take, lets say 2 adults = 130k x 3 = 390k a bachelor micro condo is 500k plus fees.
The smallest worse trash on the market and the average person or family can't afford to purchase it. What about a normal residence? 3 bedroom 1 washroom small house? Forget it, even 2 adults at 100k each cannot buy it
We are at the point where the guitar string can't be tightened no more. Question is who gets slapped when it snaps.

Maybe in the small towns, but not in Toronto or Vancouver. Got family and friends in banking sector as well as tons of entrepreneur groups, investor debt maybe over-leveraged from high interest rates, but most ‘investors’ have a ton of equity in the stock market as well as their businesses and other assets, they can pay off their investment properties if they had to, but they don’t want to move their investment from the stock market at the moment to service their debt so they’d rather sell even if at slight losses if needed given they don’t know what interest rates will do in the near future, but you can be sure they will not take heavy losses to sell, they’ll just suck up the cost and rent it out. The people close to bankruptcy are the first time homebuyers who bought over priced detached homes in outer suburbs who now can’t get a loan because prices have fallen from high interest rates and buyers waiting on the sidelines. This is the saddest part. Most investors already have homes in more expensive/established neighborhoods they bought prior to the price jump
Investors are lucky to have gotten away before the tax hike at the end of June. Of course the revenues are not coming back, esp. in the near future.

One can borrow around 100k from bank . Give that as deposit to buy condo . Get fake pre approval letter which is arranged by realtor and mortgage broker plus mortgage specialists at banks.

under actuarial analysis of the datasets relative to the Ontario/GTA Real Estate based DEBT instrument expansion of the last 5-6 years.... there now exists what could potentially manifest as a ~$130-$150 Billion imbalance in servicing "GDI"(Gross Domestic Income) within Ontario's ~$800B GDP heading into the Mortgage renewal wave thru 2026 at any BoC rate maintained positive above the 2% cpi inflation target.(~3% to 3.5%)
This is a Real Estate Crash....
as loosely translated to market fundamentals relative to sentiment/knock on effects determined by waning consumer demand/accommodative financial conditions now highly unlikely...... this intends an almost 25% decline "on average" across GTA Real Estate from here in the foreseeable.
And by which the 1990-1997 GTA Real Estate correction pales in comparison
Ur too smart for this blog...surprized they dont delete you😅
No one wants a condo.
Investors buy places n than they try to kick people outq because they want increase everyone rent bit yet they dont want fix things.
More like a dog kennel in the sky.
is JOHN PASALIS the only person in TORONTO you people can talk with ? plus he is an AGENT They sell Condos....another example of Canadians always listening and following the wrong voice.
John Pasalis looks like he's been working too hard recently lol
😂😂😂😂 You will own nothing
I think investors are getting out because of the economics but most don’t want to deal with scum bag tenant’s. The law is totally on the renters side….not worth it anymore
More people in tents and RVs reflects badly on govt.
Unfortunately landlords are on the wrong end of a highly political situation.
Don't look for it to change anytime soon.
Yes before it crashes in 22 years from now
