Honestly, housing will never be affordable in Canada. May be in 20 years it could be a little bit affordable. If you have a game plan to leave this country now. Please do it before it’s too late.

And price locals out of their communities? How is that okay to spread the problem? This sort of selfishness lead to the whole crisis. The solution is to vastly increase the supply of housing and not export the problem. It just seems so unethical to make others go through the same experience. Just my opinion.

The biggest issue which needs to be addressed aside of supply shortage is "SPECULATION". In the last 10 years, this speculation phenomenon transformed the housing market into some kind of lottery system, except that it came with Guaranteed winning numbers. Consequently, this creates a big financial burden on the next generation of citizens. For example, lets say you have a FOMO buyer and their agent show up to an average middle class Canadian neighborhood, offering $200k over asking price on a home in that neighborhood, the value of the entire neighborhood is changed for everyone regardless the income level as a result. Such massive new valuation can't be equated to the BoC rate hike. Not even close. So please stop blaming BoC for rate hike. It is also well known that people used to buy 2 or 3 or 5 pre-cons during the low rate era. Sell them on assignment and take hefty profit at closing. They repeat this over and over. Lets be clear here: there is a difference between profit and speculation lalaland. This is what we call LALA LAND/GET RICH QUICK MANIA. We are talking about housing. Not stock market where this should be the norm. I will have to give all level of GOVERNMENTs an F mark for not addressing this problem.

The issue is 70% of Canadians do already own a home. So the majority do own homes and in the 30% group are a percentage (impossible to know exactly how many) that are children of homeowners who will get large inheritances from their home owner parents. Life has always been a lottery in terms of what situation you are born in to. With the policies of the last 7-10 years that has now increased as fiscal spending, immigration, interest rates and frankly the performance of the housing market have all ratcheted up prices - I can’t see a scenario where they go down 50% and some of the 30% of non home owners will be satisfied as they become home owners via wealth transfer/inheritance - it’s a smaller population that have no inheritance or wealth transfer coming and no prospects of owning and that’s where you will get civil unrest from.

Yes, either home owners are loosing some equity, or we are all dealing with inflation (wage-price spiral), or some combination of both (stagflation), there are no other ways around to fix affordability. No private company will ever increase supply in the anticipation of price decrease. Permits are not homes. Developers are already scaling down their projects and firing workers because there is not enough demand at the current price level. So only government could increase supply in this situation. Arbitrary immigration targets are simultaneously increasing demand and suppressing wage growth. There are better ways to control immigration. I would suggest demand based approach with some guard rails in place. For instance, I would require all educational institutions to provide housing for international student (at least 50%). Businesses should be required to provide accommodation to all temporary/seasonal workers on top of the minimum wage. In order to hire foreigners employers should be required to prove that he is paying enough to afford housing in the region (market cost of accommodation is less than 30% of salary). Accommodation for refugees should be secured before bringing them to the country from around the globe. No accommodation = no permits. It would limit demand and prevent wage suppression.

My friends, don’t try to swim against the tide. Buy a home as soon as you can and live in it. Apart from the demand pressure you have the cost of the materials and the tradesmen wages to contend with. That community works for two to four times the cost of minimum wages. Three years ago, I embarked on a major updating transformation program for the home I live in as an original owner. The generalist tradesperson was 30 dollars per hour then. Today he is at 60 dollars per hour. If one can get him, that is. Buy a house as soon as you can. Rent rooms if you have to. Get yourself out of paying rent to pay for someone else’s mortgage. Be the landlord not the tenant!

One of the issues - everyone chalks this up as greed but nearly 70% of Canadians do own a home and have been told that it’s a core part of their retirement strategy - this isn’t greedy millionaire investors - the fast majority are nurses, firefighters, factory workers etc who have invested in their home, climbed the property ladder and intend to use their home (downsize or reverse mortgage) to help fund their retirement…if government or central bank policy target prices and reduced them by 50% that population will come under huge duress and will create a whole other problem for the social safety net … and that older population votes at a higher rate than the middle age or youth…not going to be an easy problem to solve and there is no path that doesn’t include victims… Hence why my prediction is you’ll see the politically convenient path, prices will come down a bit (10%) rates will come down a bit (100-200 bps), incomes will rise a bit (4-5% a year) and things will move in the right direction and then you’ll get an about face with a new government and new policy makers who reverse that, drive rates down, spending up, prices up and we’ll be back here again…the cyclicality means it will never be solved, just ebb and flow.

Immigrants want housing affordability too, and I agree the infrastructure is not up to it anymore, but I think that's the case even if we bring down immigration rates. Like they said in the video, it's insane the fate that our housing infrastructure is dependent on a handful of developers who will only build if it's profitable.

Interesting to hear about: "Homeowners will not be pleased to see the values of their homes are going down". No worries these stupid people will see how the entire country goes down.

Solution, rent. Make investments elsewhere. The real estate being an investment cycle is over for at least a decade.

@@mobfxtrading Naw people can just reammortize out and the payment is pretty close to the same. I have a few coming up next year, and I looked at what my monthly payment would be going from 2.7% interest to 6% interest. And by reammortizing out to even 30 years my payment after the principle paid down is very close to my existing payment.

@@mobfxtradingthis is overstated - the majority of homes in Canada have no mortgage this no impact and the renewal will move rates from 2-5% on an average mortgage of $300k that’s an extra $9k a year or $750/m. The more likely outcome is a recession because people will find a way to pay that $750…eg no new cars for the next 3-5 years, cutting cable and streaming services, no vacations, picking up a part time job, cashing in investments, etc.. The mortgage is typically the payment of last resort meaning the broader economy will feel the effects of the rate change more than the housing market. Everyone focuses on buyers from 2021/22 that was such a small percentage of the overall market it will have an impact but I see prices coming down maybe 5-10% more and that’s about it. Remember they’ve already dropped 10-20% in most markets.
