When I was working in real estate in 2007, I saw people acquire new homes from builders with the purpose of selling them to a new buyer before the end of escrow for a profit. I remember seeing a lot of these condos foreclosed on with the builder plastic still on the carpet because the crash was so violent and rapid.
You are correct. With the help of an investing coach, I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets, and I was able to create a little over $830K in net profit by using high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and bonds.

I feel like before the internet became common, the real estate agents actually had to be resourceful and well connected, actually doing footwork. and back then the houses were not so pricy so the fee actually made sense. Now any monkey can do a search of real estate listings and find out. They definitely do not deserve to be paid 4% of a 1mil house, which is common place now. My realtor is getting paid 23grand for submitting paperwork to reserve a unit in a preconstruction condominium, ridiculous! I literally never met the guy, exchanged like 10 emails over 2 weeks, that's it.
I like this Bloomberg host. Her questions are concise and don't take forever. I avoid the host in the mornings - her questions take longer than the answers sometimes. People want to hear the guest - not the host so much.
@@nicktw8688 Of course its a mess because the Trudeau big policy is letting in 200,000 thousand and more immigrants years after year and not building 200,000 housing units. It's absolute insanity.
All these speculators who bought in 2020 & 2021 at 2.00% interest rates will now face almost 8.00% interest rates upon renewal or closing. The sellers will start to capitulate and settle for the amount of the mortgage that is owed. There will be blood on the streets in about 6 months. Even if the Bank of Canada starts to cut interest rates it won’t be fast enough.
Now doctors popped up again to get power and money and came up with new varient of COVID and asking people to go and take the shot but except artificially smart people no one is going😂😂😂😂
It’s pretty simple. If you’re already living in a home with a fixed rate mortgage, the best thing to do right now is nothing, just ride that fixed rate to its renewal date.
It's not the best thing it's the only option for them they can't afford the mortgage that's why we have to extend these idiots amortization....maybe next time don't commit mortgage fraud....then the stress test would have worked
@@jaymar1615 Interest rates have gone up by around 400% in one year. You don’t need to be someone “who can’t afford their mortgage” to feel that hit. This has never happened before.
Why would we buy overpriced flimsy houses?? Canadians are in for a big surprise if they think that they're wooden boxes are worth more than $300,000....
Building materials have gone up. Labour wages have had to increase as well. This adds to the cost of building a new house. Real estate will stay expensive.
My house was built in 1997, I bought it in 2012 for 350k. It’s in a nice upper-middle class suburb within the city. I sold it in 2019 for $680k. It was a Chinese buyer who didn’t even bother coming to Canada to get a tour of the house. Chinese buyers are much more in terms of numbers and wealth compared to Canadians. Of course the Canadian real estate agents didn’t give a fk about selling overpriced houses to people who have money coming out of their pores and who don’t even care about seeing the house before buying. Idk who in their right mind would’ve bought my house for that insane price, but since everyone in my neighbourhood was selling a similar price I went along with it. Little did I know real estate agencies were selling out pieces of Canadian land to the highest foreign bidder. The reality is that sellers need to realize their houses are overpriced and they need to accept the reality that they need to come back to earth and sell their prices at a normal price. Housing Inflation isn’t supposed to hike up 200% every year. The Canadian economy shouldn’t crumble because of greedy sellers and real estate agencies. They got us in this mess, now they need to pay the price to get us out of us.
In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.
If you need advice, consider speaking with a financial advisor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.
you are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited £560k in 2022 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.
Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with Margaret Johnson Arndt for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.
The real problem is overprice not rate. Why we buy a resale house that need a lot of renovate esp for energy efficient bill and design not suitable for modern life style at all. The price that driven by FOMO generater cannot be sustain.
exactly i dont want to buy a 600k 800 sq ft appartment, i would much rather buy the same appartment for 350k and pay a mortage of 2500$ a month, and im just a tradesmen
the only real way to insure supply and demand is to make it as easy as possible to build more houses, and make the phrase "I don't want my property value to go down", or at least the mindset that causes that to go away. I think the government and investors intentionally make it difficult to build more houses to keep demand and costs high.
@@theincredibleone the other problem is business owners not understanding that if their employees can't afford to buy things, the business owners will go out of business, it won't just be the people who got laid off who lose their income. they should also have an incentive to vote for people in all levels of government that want to do things that enable more customers to buy more, not just fewer customers that can spend more. but instead, people just vote red or blue, they don't actually care what the person their voting for is trying to accomplish.
Only solution is to make residential housing unprofitable!!! When investors leave this market it will become much more profitable. Houses(residential) should be for living not for business .
@@oleksandrshyiatyi6826 the problem is, when it does become unprofitable, housing prices will go down till they are affordable, then the investors will buy all the houses and they'll become unprofitable again... endless cycle... Make regulations so people can afford things... greedy people get angry, and over time get rid of the regulations, greed abounds till the resources run out again, and the cycle repeats... It's an endless cycle of concentration of wealth till it blows up in the wealthy peoples face, laws get passed to stop that from happening, then people get rid of the laws till it happens again.
It's not a buyers market when the prices of all homes are so overpriced that barely anyone can afford to buy anything. House prices need to drop by about 50% for it to become a real buyers market.
@@alessandroc47 Let's hope so. I am a homeowner, and recognize I will lose value on my home if it drops in value. The benefit to the average Canadian, and especially young Canadians trying to buy their first home is worth more than what I may personally lose.

So instead of making it easier for developers to just build the types of houses people actually want to live in (which is what caused this problem), they're going for the Soviet solution of copy-and-pasted multi-residential buildings. Notably none of the pre-approved designs are going to include detached houses. We have far more space/capita than any other developed country (aside from maybe Australia), yet our government wants us to live in 600 sqft boxes on top of one-another. We are so far along the socialism trajectory it's not even funny, and most people haven't caught on yet.
Yep "pre-approved" 600sqft homes that cost over $400.00 sqft to build on a 500k lot... because they wont address labour shortages, mass immigration, all the other red tape financing etc... this won't help anything. More government is not going to fix an issue big government created.
The size of canada is misleading. The entire northern half is basically unusable. And our infrastructure is like a 3rd world country compared to the US. Everyone wants to live near our handful of big cities, because that's where all the jobs are
@@kuruptzZz you obviously dont work on a mine, or a rig, in the lumber or forestry sector at all, or long haul truck, or well on trains, or heck even have remote jobs.. sure a lot of people like cities nothing wrong with that. But if we opened land up and removed red tape lots of areas of canada are still super attractive. A lot of the south is not developed yet or underdeveloped.
So wrong....interest rate jumped, now the prices need to come down quite significantly otherwise it is not making sense financially for the buyers. Realtors need to stop inflating the market.
Condos fees and are way too high insurance on homes are too high. Our new Canadians are stealing cars. Our insurance is gone sky high on cars people cannot sustain this
Yep... it is called price adjustment. The market was undervalued for the last 6 years. It only took interest rate to be low and a bit of money available for people to buy housing during the pandemic.
Prices are way down. I sold my house in the GTA 8 months ago. My neighbor (same house) just sold his for 200k less. Have a look on house sigma. So many houses selling for huge losses. Mostly people who bought in the past few years abd can no longer afford mortgage
@@SnackSavvy they could afford a mortgage if they got it honestly with proper stress tests and showing true incomes. But if you do fraud then you can't cry victim. Mostly Realtors and scam brokers pushed these guys down this path. They should be blamed and held accountable. Greasy thugs..
I can confirm that right now, I would rather buy a house cash in the United States and work there than buy a house here at overinflated prices. My US stocks keep going up and up and I hate bad investments.
In the mean time, immigration in Canada is forcing scarcity of renting property, which is driving the price of rent and housing higher. If you add inflation to the equation, you understand that prices will not fluctuate much.
But what if u have a rental, say a townhouse in Langley, currently a $2000 mortgage payment, but rented out for 2300. Now u have to refinance, your payment goes to$2850. What do u do? U sell. Or try too. But u never kick the tenant out while it's on the market, that would b dumb.
Interest rates are driving rents as landlords are cash negatives, not a few people immigrating. Look around, there's more stuff for sale than you can shake a stick at. Plenty of housing.

Its hilarious they call this a look at the Canadian market and only talk about Toronto. Could anyone on these shows name three Canadian cities without mentioning Toronto and or Vancouver?
This guy once said in an interview 1 or 2 yrs ago that house prices will never come down and Toronto will become like another New York. Now he is talking about prices being 40% down and calling it healthy correction. These economists say whatever.
Both statements can be true. House prices have gone down from their overinflated peak in the last couple of years. But they will NEVER go down to the sane levels they were around 2016, mainly because waves of new people will be descending on the GTA over the next several years
Fear a housing crash due to people buying homes above asking prices with little equity. If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
Lynne Maris Stella is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

Throughly enjoying the early days of the bursting of Canadian res property bubble. Not sure which is world's biggest bubble, either Canada or Australia, Canada might actually be on top.
Canadian real estate is much higher compared to Australia, across board Australia is about 10 % cheaper compared to Canada, on the weather and income much better😂. Australia is desirable compared to Canada, they don't have immigration nonsense, incapable leaders and a economy only depends on US. You can get a hint of what Australia like by watching UA-cam walking tours.

Why is no one building affordable / subsidized Senior's Condos and apartment buildings so that Boomers and their PARENTS the builders will move out of their oversized four bedroom houses, that they cannot remain in safely but Retirement Homes at $3500 per person $7000 per couple simply cannot afford. Make a safe Senior friendly supportive place and you will free up TWO generations of housing. Widows can't afford these huge underutilized houses.
Excellent suggestion, Carol! The feds are looking at the solution to the housing shortage problem from the wrong perspective. Please message Sean Fraser ASAP. He obviously needs some wise and practical direction.
Same bla bla bla... Population growth but nobody talks about the thousands and thousands of people leaving Canada due to a zero quality tlife and no opportunities.
The national housing crisis will not be solved any time soon, expect at least a decade or even longer. 8 million units of shoe-box size rentals would cost taxpayers between $2.3 to $2.8 Trillion, a heavy debt load on the burden of at least 6 generations (130 to 150 years) to pay off. Any newborn in Canada will have between $100,000 to $120,000 in debt to start life. More homes will be built and Home prices will finally go down to where they should be. At least 66% Deflation in Home and Land Prices is a MUST, if not, there will be Serious and Dire Social, Economic, Political, and Security Implications for Canada in the years ahead. Home is life's basic necessity and should never become an Investment Commodity.
@@jzou1030 haha that'd be cool. I probably don't, but my point is I highly doubt it'll be as low as it was in 2020 (which many people think will happen in a year or two) during our lifetimes. OUr children and grandchildren will see that again.
The sad part is this, if you have been waiting for over 10 years to get into or back into the housing market, you will be sadly disappointed on a few fronts. - Interest rates are high and you won’t be able to get the same mortgage as a few years back. - Tighter credit rules means you most likely will not even qualify. - people have a lot of money on the sidelines from inheritances as the war generation is passing on and those people will outbid on any all worthy homes to buy for their kids - when houses fall, unemployment goes up and most likely, first time home buyers will be in that group - if you lost much of your savings with the markets, you’ll have less for a down payment - construction costs have skyrocketed and builders are very very sensitive to this so they won’t build unless it is pre sold at inflated prices to cover their risks - construction workers have retired and there is a huge shortage so if supply dries up, it will take a few years to get back to normal labour equilibrium and even then, huge shortages are expected over the next 5-10 years - environmentalists have pretty much ruined the available land for building and officials are more than happy to allow this knowing it will only cause shortages Lastly, a buyers market will happen and yeah, there won’t be any buyers who already struggle to pay phone, car, heating, electricity, water billls, never mind food.
thats not me, i struggle to justify speding 600k for a 800 sq ft 2 bedroom appartment. i can justify paying 2500$ a month mortage on the same appartment with a principal of 350k far more easy to justify that, and im just a dirty carpenter
Until and unless INVESTORS stop bulk buy and sell houses or products not only housing market will suffer but the entire economy will go back to zero. ZERO nil nada.

Housing prices haven't fallen for years and don't expect house prices to fall anytime soon. as longest the liberal government is in power nothing will change .Canada needs new leadership to fix housing affordability.
*You simply can't build a 2000 sq/ft house for less than $400k in Canada. ....and that's if you do the majority of the labour yourself. Permitting costs, code requirements, taxes, mandated professional services (environmental assessments, engineering requirements, etc.), requirements for trades, builders insurance, warranty premiums, etc. makes for expensive housing regardless of how many times we demand "affordable housing".*
No one can afford with the current interest rate plus stress test, I really think they should remove the stress test and allow the buyers slowly enter the market, rather than keep building up the pressure on the buy side which will eventually drive the price crazy again like the past few times.
Too much demand created by investors, cut their cash( un-insured mortgages) to reduce the demand!!!!!! How about increase the down payment for single home up to 55% and Condo up to 50% for investors!!!! Adjust the down payment according to the market!!!
Pre-approved home design is a good idea to speed up construction... but it does have the underlying feeling of communism. Once the program starts to succeed, at what point will the government say "This is the only way you can build"?
@@Canadian_Eh_I Correction. It speeds up the horrible wait time to get *pre-approved government designed homes* built.

The usual suspects are coming out to whine and cry and moan and complain. The crying is absolutely pathetic. Ben Tal is the ringleader of all this. I thought he was a economist and not a realtor.
Why does a home design need to be approved? The wiring and plumbing need to be inspected, and the guys building a home know what the standards are. Needing approval for a design is simply a government cash grab especially since the people doing the approving are bureaucrats who know nothing about building design and the entire process is paper pushing.
Its absurd.. politicians and mainstream are always going on about the housing shortage and more houses need to be built. Yet they completely ignore housing affordability. There's no point building more homes if no one can afford them. Why?: affordability is not what they care about its all about profits and revenues
Look at older countries, eventually you have to start building 3-4 bedroom apartment buildings without all the fancy amenities, just nicely designed simple apartments as people want to be close to groceries and work..we have 1 bedroom condos and 1.5 million dollar houses, build $600,000 apartments..the model is out there, Europe, Japan/Korea
It’s a zoning issue. The missing middle that are still in many parts of the city from decades past was zoned out so only single family homes could be built. This effectively made it so those homes only go up in value and those home owners like it that way. We need the gentle density of mid rises but too much public objection from the existing home owners in the neighborhoods they can be so effective. So we have what is the disaster of city planning where we have very tall towers on transit routes and low rise homes meters away.
This Tal guy isn’t as in the know as one would hope Supply shortage is a myth made up by housing industry and government. Immigration numbers also mythical. How many stay?

You wishful thinking big mortgage holders better act fast ---- more systemic layoffs to come and new immigrants are desparately working food delivery and driving for uber (not paying for your pipe dream rent income expectations)...
Really? Fraser used a book from the 50’s lol. Who is going to create these floor plans? They all would have to be modernized? There really plenty of new designs ALREADY done to today’s codes. Liberals just reaching now plain and simple.
The best solution would be to develop smaller towns that can be easily connected by super fast trains to downtown Toronto. By toll free highways with automatic charging roads. This will create new jobs in infrastructure development, ease over burden on cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Real estate will be under control. The ne pre Fab housing plan is a great idea BUT also provide kits that are super energy efficient in design and construction. If developed under Passive house standards that consumes less energy and Net Zero ready. So the carring cost is bear minimum. Like the only bill are mortgage and utility bills. Well water, Septic system, right orientation so naturally het and cool the house. Etc. A lot can be done and achieved if the RIGHT people are selected for long-term planning. All suburbs need to be developed.
Even if prices fall 30% from the peak of 2022. The average home in Canada is 800000. In Kelowna the average is 1 million. So depending on where you live the minimum of a single family home will be 650000-700000. Even at those prices individuals need a massive down payment to make the mortgage somewhat affordable. Again what am saying is people who are buying homes going forward are only the privileged ones. If you have 30000 saved you will be good to go for an entry level condo. People need to start small and build over time.
This type of news will be a norm for 3 quarter in FY24, stress in housing, bringing some possible lowered price and stress to those who holds more than one house for the purpose of investing / speculation.
So the actual drawing and getting a permit for a house is actually quick quick and short... the issue is the zoning approvals... having the city allow the house... not whether the house meets building code... just wish the liberals would do some research
Congratulations on building more Homes in Canada 🇨🇦 in its Provinces And Territories and other Municipalities across Canada 🇨🇦 for the first time ever in its history.
No talk about building more and more non-profit market rental housing co-ops on city leased lands. This was done back in the 60's and 70's and was extremely effective at providing dignified housing to families who became members of these rental based housing co-operatives. They were well designed and as the members paid down the debt to the banks on the construction of these co-operatives their housing charges went down overtime and the maintenance and up keep of the co-ops was kept up as each member held a sense of "pride in membership" similar to home owners who hold the "pride in ownership" attitude. There will always be a certain sector of society who serve the intelligentsia and upper class of cities who need the working class services of people who live near and around them. It is idiotic to drive lower classes further and further out into the wastelands of suburban sprawl, who have to travel hours on shotty public transit to get to work and earn a living. BUILD MORE HOUSING CO-OPS IN THE URBAN CENTRES OF CANADIAN CITIES. IT IS NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
I love how they talk about Canada as one big market . So misleading he should know better . Do we talk of the USA as one big market ? Is New York City the same as Shreveport Louisiana ?

I am actually looking to find a nicer home.
Luckily where I live starter home prices remain unchanged while nicer homes are dropping fast
Why would we buy overpriced flimsy houses?? Canadians are in for a big surprise if they think that they're wooden boxes are worth more than $300,000....
Yeah but you did not add land price which is way more than the cost of a house 😀
Building materials have gone up. Labour wages have had to increase as well. This adds to the cost of building a new house. Real estate will stay expensive.
land, labour and materials say otherwise
@@indianmilitary Even factored in, a house should not be worth that much....
My house was built in 1997, I bought it in 2012 for 350k. It’s in a nice upper-middle class suburb within the city. I sold it in 2019 for $680k. It was a Chinese buyer who didn’t even bother coming to Canada to get a tour of the house. Chinese buyers are much more in terms of numbers and wealth compared to Canadians. Of course the Canadian real estate agents didn’t give a fk about selling overpriced houses to people who have money coming out of their pores and who don’t even care about seeing the house before buying. Idk who in their right mind would’ve bought my house for that insane price, but since everyone in my neighbourhood was selling a similar price I went along with it. Little did I know real estate agencies were selling out pieces of Canadian land to the highest foreign bidder. The reality is that sellers need to realize their houses are overpriced and they need to accept the reality that they need to come back to earth and sell their prices at a normal price. Housing Inflation isn’t supposed to hike up 200% every year. The Canadian economy shouldn’t crumble because of greedy sellers and real estate agencies. They got us in this mess, now they need to pay the price to get us out of us.
In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.
If you need advice, consider speaking with a financial advisor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.
you are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited £560k in 2022 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.
Mind if I ask you recommend this particular professional you use their service? i have quite a lot of marketing problems
Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with Margaret Johnson Arndt for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.
Thanks, I just googled her I'm really impressed with his credentials. I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
The real problem is overprice not rate. Why we buy a resale house that need a lot of renovate esp for energy efficient bill and design not suitable for modern life style at all. The price that driven by FOMO generater cannot be sustain.
exactly i dont want to buy a 600k 800 sq ft appartment, i would much rather buy the same appartment for 350k and pay a mortage of 2500$ a month, and im just a tradesmen
the only real way to insure supply and demand is to make it as easy as possible to build more houses, and make the phrase "I don't want my property value to go down", or at least the mindset that causes that to go away.
I think the government and investors intentionally make it difficult to build more houses to keep demand and costs high.
It doesn’t help that those same government politicians are probably investing in real estate and have no insensitive to lower those prices.
@@theincredibleone the other problem is business owners not understanding that if their employees can't afford to buy things, the business owners will go out of business, it won't just be the people who got laid off who lose their income. they should also have an incentive to vote for people in all levels of government that want to do things that enable more customers to buy more, not just fewer customers that can spend more.
but instead, people just vote red or blue, they don't actually care what the person their voting for is trying to accomplish.
Only solution is to make residential housing unprofitable!!! When investors leave this market it will become much more profitable. Houses(residential) should be for living not for business .
@@oleksandrshyiatyi6826 the problem is, when it does become unprofitable, housing prices will go down till they are affordable, then the investors will buy all the houses and they'll become unprofitable again... endless cycle...
Make regulations so people can afford things... greedy people get angry, and over time get rid of the regulations, greed abounds till the resources run out again, and the cycle repeats...
It's an endless cycle of concentration of wealth till it blows up in the wealthy peoples face, laws get passed to stop that from happening, then people get rid of the laws till it happens again.
@@oleksandrshyiatyi6826 If home building is unprofitable, then no one would build anything and tenants will have to live on streets.
It's not a buyers market when the prices of all homes are so overpriced that barely anyone can afford to buy anything. House prices need to drop by about 50% for it to become a real buyers market.
It's on its way there.
@@alessandroc47 Let's hope so. I am a homeowner, and recognize I will lose value on my home if it drops in value. The benefit to the average Canadian, and especially young Canadians trying to buy their first home is worth more than what I may personally lose.

Maybe agents will actually work for your business now. Instead of the inside deals and scams they benefitted from during the pandemic
So instead of making it easier for developers to just build the types of houses people actually want to live in (which is what caused this problem), they're going for the Soviet solution of copy-and-pasted multi-residential buildings. Notably none of the pre-approved designs are going to include detached houses. We have far more space/capita than any other developed country (aside from maybe Australia), yet our government wants us to live in 600 sqft boxes on top of one-another. We are so far along the socialism trajectory it's not even funny, and most people haven't caught on yet.
Yep "pre-approved" 600sqft homes that cost over $400.00 sqft to build on a 500k lot... because they wont address labour shortages, mass immigration, all the other red tape financing etc... this won't help anything. More government is not going to fix an issue big government created.
You'll own nothing and be happy. That statement wasn't a joke.
WEF recommends everyone live in pods.
The size of canada is misleading. The entire northern half is basically unusable. And our infrastructure is like a 3rd world country compared to the US. Everyone wants to live near our handful of big cities, because that's where all the jobs are
@@kuruptzZz you obviously dont work on a mine, or a rig, in the lumber or forestry sector at all, or long haul truck, or well on trains, or heck even have remote jobs.. sure a lot of people like cities nothing wrong with that. But if we opened land up and removed red tape lots of areas of canada are still super attractive. A lot of the south is not developed yet or underdeveloped.
So wrong....interest rate jumped, now the prices need to come down quite significantly otherwise it is not making sense financially for the buyers. Realtors need to stop inflating the market.
Houses are 40% too high. How is the next generation going to buy? Government will keep on bringing immigration in and destroying canada

Sales are down, but prices are not.
If prices come down, buyers will come back. There is a huge housing demand
has to come down at least another 30% for this to happen
Yep... it is called price adjustment. The market was undervalued for the last 6 years. It only took interest rate to be low and a bit of money available for people to buy housing during the pandemic.
Lol
Prices are way down. I sold my house in the GTA 8 months ago. My neighbor (same house) just sold his for 200k less. Have a look on house sigma. So many houses selling for huge losses. Mostly people who bought in the past few years abd can no longer afford mortgage
@@SnackSavvy they could afford a mortgage if they got it honestly with proper stress tests and showing true incomes. But if you do fraud then you can't cry victim. Mostly Realtors and scam brokers pushed these guys down this path. They should be blamed and held accountable. Greasy thugs..
I can confirm that right now, I would rather buy a house cash in the United States and work there than buy a house here at overinflated prices. My US stocks keep going up and up and I hate bad investments.
In the mean time, immigration in Canada is forcing scarcity of renting property, which is driving the price of rent and housing higher. If you add inflation to the equation, you understand that prices will not fluctuate much.
Immigration will own everything. Government are snakes.
Canadians will have to move out of canada
Government wants the new immigration to own everything and control the rent. Canadians will have to move out of canada... this is the beginning
But what if u have a rental, say a townhouse in Langley, currently a $2000 mortgage payment, but rented out for 2300.
Now u have to refinance, your payment goes to$2850.

U sell.
Or try too.
But u never kick the tenant out while it's on the market, that would b dumb.
Fraser Valley in BC were I live is already down over 20% from the peak.
Will drop 10 more in 2024, and 10 more in 2025.

lol prices in Toronto have risen. Until you stop mass immigration the prices will keep rising for houses. Condos not as much
Coconomics 😅
Both statements can be true. House prices have gone down from their overinflated peak in the last couple of years. But they will NEVER go down to the sane levels they were around 2016, mainly because waves of new people will be descending on the GTA over the next several years
Fear a housing crash due to people buying homes above asking prices with little equity. If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
Lynne Maris Stella is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

Why is no one building affordable / subsidized Senior's Condos and apartment buildings so that Boomers and their PARENTS the builders will move out of their oversized four bedroom houses, that they cannot remain in safely but Retirement Homes at $3500 per person $7000 per couple simply cannot afford. Make a safe Senior friendly supportive place and you will free up TWO generations of housing. Widows can't afford these huge underutilized houses.
Excellent suggestion, Carol! The feds are looking at the solution to the housing shortage problem from the wrong perspective. Please message Sean Fraser ASAP. He obviously needs some wise and practical direction.

Same bla bla bla... Population growth but nobody talks about the thousands and thousands of people leaving Canada due to a zero quality tlife and no opportunities.
😂 buyer’s market means looking for buyer .
can’t sell can’t buy market
pretty clear prices will be dropping further.
The national housing crisis will not be solved any time soon, expect at least a decade or even longer.
8 million units of shoe-box size rentals would cost taxpayers between $2.3 to $2.8 Trillion, a heavy debt load on the burden of at least 6 generations (130 to 150 years) to pay off. Any newborn in Canada will have between $100,000 to $120,000 in debt to start life.
More homes will be built and Home prices will finally go down to where they should be.
At least 66% Deflation in Home and Land Prices is a MUST, if not, there will be Serious and Dire Social, Economic, Political, and Security Implications for Canada in the years ahead.
Home is life's basic necessity and should never become an Investment Commodity.
Interest rates will not go down like we think it will. It'll go down by like 1 percent and park there for a while.
You definitely know more than Fed and BOC
@@jzou1030 haha that'd be cool. I probably don't, but my point is I highly doubt it'll be as low as it was in 2020 (which many people think will happen in a year or two) during our lifetimes. OUr children and grandchildren will see that again.
The sad part is this, if you have been waiting for over 10 years to get into or back into the housing market, you will be sadly disappointed on a few fronts.
- Interest rates are high and you won’t be able to get the same mortgage as a few years back.
- Tighter credit rules means you most likely will not even qualify.
- people have a lot of money on the sidelines from inheritances as the war generation is passing on and those people will outbid on any all worthy homes to buy for their kids
- when houses fall, unemployment goes up and most likely, first time home buyers will be in that group
- if you lost much of your savings with the markets, you’ll have less for a down payment
- construction costs have skyrocketed and builders are very very sensitive to this so they won’t build unless it is pre sold at inflated prices to cover their risks
- construction workers have retired and there is a huge shortage so if supply dries up, it will take a few years to get back to normal labour equilibrium and even then, huge shortages are expected over the next 5-10 years
- environmentalists have pretty much ruined the available land for building and officials are more than happy to allow this knowing it will only cause shortages
Lastly, a buyers market will happen and yeah, there won’t be any buyers who already struggle to pay phone, car, heating, electricity, water billls, never mind food.
Perfectly summed up
thats not me, i struggle to justify speding 600k for a 800 sq ft 2 bedroom appartment. i can justify paying 2500$ a month mortage on the same appartment with a principal of 350k far more easy to justify that, and im just a dirty carpenter
So for someone in a position to buy a property with cash, this is going to be a good time to do so?
Tal must be investor himself, how come it’s a buyer’s marker when prices r still going through the roof
Until and unless INVESTORS stop bulk buy and sell houses or products not only housing market will suffer but the entire economy will go back to zero. ZERO nil nada.

Housing prices haven't fallen for years and don't expect house prices to fall anytime soon. as longest the liberal government is in power nothing will change .Canada needs new leadership to fix housing affordability.
*You simply can't build a 2000 sq/ft house for less than $400k in Canada. ....and that's if you do the majority of the labour yourself. Permitting costs, code requirements, taxes, mandated professional services (environmental assessments, engineering requirements, etc.), requirements for trades, builders insurance, warranty premiums, etc. makes for expensive housing regardless of how many times we demand "affordable housing".*
The first buyers market in history where no one can afford a house.
No one can afford with the current interest rate plus stress test, I really think they should remove the stress test and allow the buyers slowly enter the market, rather than keep building up the pressure on the buy side which will eventually drive the price crazy again like the past few times.
That's called a bubble.
Too much demand created by investors, cut their cash( un-insured mortgages) to reduce the demand!!!!!! How about increase the down payment for single home up to 55% and Condo up to 50% for investors!!!! Adjust the down payment according to the market!!!
Pre-approved home design is a good idea to speed up construction... but it does have the underlying feeling of communism. Once the program starts to succeed, at what point will the government say "This is the only way you can build"?

@@Canadian_Eh_I Correction. It speeds up the horrible wait time to get *pre-approved government designed homes* built.

The usual suspects are coming out to whine and cry and moan and complain. The crying is absolutely pathetic. Ben Tal is the ringleader of all this. I thought he was a economist and not a realtor.
Why does a home design need to be approved? The wiring and plumbing need to be inspected, and the guys building a home know what the standards are. Needing approval for a design is simply a government cash grab especially since the people doing the approving are bureaucrats who know nothing about building design and the entire process is paper pushing.
What do you mean? BlackRock, Vanguard, and all these other Private Equity firms about to buy everything in sight haha
😂 they're the only ones that can afford it
does this man even blink?
Nope
Wait. Interest rates drop which is inevitable, buyers will return. Prices will go up.
Its absurd.. politicians and mainstream are always going on about the housing shortage and more houses need to be built. Yet they completely ignore housing affordability. There's no point building more homes if no one can afford them. Why?: affordability is not what they care about its all about profits and revenues
Must be a Ontario thing because here in Alberta most houses move within a couple of weeks
No buyers because it is still unaffordable with Canadian income even without interest.
Prices go up because banks are lending more and more money. They are in control.
Population is rising and there won’t be the jobs to support the influx. So you can discount that factor right off the hop. 😂
Just keep building. We're not (or shouldn't be) in a rush re-fill demand
GEN Z AND MILLENIALS. WE NEED TO TREAT THIS LIKE AMC AND GAME STOP. DO NOT BUY HOUSE OR CONDO FOR 1-2 YEARS. DRIVE THE PRICE DOWN!!!!
Look at older countries, eventually you have to start building 3-4 bedroom apartment buildings without all the fancy amenities, just nicely designed simple apartments as people want to be close to groceries and work..we have 1 bedroom condos and 1.5 million dollar houses, build $600,000 apartments..the model is out there, Europe, Japan/Korea
It’s a zoning issue. The missing middle that are still in many parts of the city from decades past was zoned out so only single family homes could be built. This effectively made it so those homes only go up in value and those home owners like it that way. We need the gentle density of mid rises but too much public objection from the existing home owners in the neighborhoods they can be so effective. So we have what is the disaster of city planning where we have very tall towers on transit routes and low rise homes meters away.
This Tal guy isn’t as in the know as one would hope
Supply shortage is a myth made up by housing industry and government. Immigration numbers also mythical. How many stay?
Leaving this dumpster fire of a country, dont even care about owning a home after living here for 10+ years.
All the stress testing is stupid. Just lower the TDSR from 44% to qualify to 35%, or 38%. That would solve the problem easily.

Pre-approved blueprints, finally someone is getting sensible.
Really? Fraser used a book from the 50’s lol. Who is going to create these floor plans? They all would have to be modernized? There really plenty of new designs ALREADY done to today’s codes. Liberals just reaching now plain and simple.
A Depression is long over due. Super correction on its way.
Nobody wants to say it but we're immigrating far more people than we can house.
The best solution would be to develop smaller towns that can be easily connected by super fast trains to downtown Toronto. By toll free highways with automatic charging roads.
This will create new jobs in infrastructure development, ease over burden on cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Real estate will be under control.
The ne pre Fab housing plan is a great idea BUT also provide kits that are super energy efficient in design and construction. If developed under Passive house standards that consumes less energy and Net Zero ready. So the carring cost is bear minimum. Like the only bill are mortgage and utility bills. Well water, Septic system, right orientation so naturally het and cool the house. Etc.
A lot can be done and achieved if the RIGHT people are selected for long-term planning.
All suburbs need to be developed.
Even if prices fall 30% from the peak of 2022. The average home in Canada is 800000. In Kelowna the average is 1 million. So depending on where you live the minimum of a single family home will be 650000-700000. Even at those prices individuals need a massive down payment to make the mortgage somewhat affordable. Again what am saying is people who are buying homes going forward are only the privileged ones. If you have 30000 saved you will be good to go for an entry level condo. People need to start small and build over time.

Buying a house at these price aren’t worth it. Builders and agents are just gauging
Houses in Toronto went up 7% last year. Condos no
This type of news will be a norm for 3 quarter in FY24, stress in housing, bringing some possible lowered price and stress to those who holds more than one house for the purpose of investing / speculation.
“SOLD UNDER ASKING” “NOT COMING SOON” along with bidding wars and all the shady tactics, snooty attitudes realtors used is a nice sign.
So the actual drawing and getting a permit for a house is actually quick quick and short... the issue is the zoning approvals... having the city allow the house... not whether the house meets building code... just wish the liberals would do some research
Congratulations on building more Homes in Canada 🇨🇦 in its Provinces And Territories and other Municipalities across Canada 🇨🇦 for the first time ever in its history.
No talk about building more and more non-profit market rental housing co-ops on city leased lands. This was done back in the 60's and 70's and was extremely effective at providing dignified housing to families who became members of these rental based housing co-operatives.
They were well designed and as the members paid down the debt to the banks on the construction of these co-operatives their housing charges went down overtime and the maintenance and up keep of the co-ops was kept up as each member held a sense of "pride in membership" similar to home owners who hold the "pride in ownership" attitude.
There will always be a certain sector of society who serve the intelligentsia and upper class of cities who need the working class services of people who live near and around them. It is idiotic to drive lower classes further and further out into the wastelands of suburban sprawl, who have to travel hours on shotty public transit to get to work and earn a living. BUILD MORE HOUSING CO-OPS IN THE URBAN CENTRES OF CANADIAN CITIES. IT IS NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
Bums on the streets? That's nothing. Canadian housing market is the real pathology. Let's bail out the homeowners again.
Homeowners are sitting on so much cash they can afford to ignore the laws of supply and demand and not drop prices when there is low demand.
