$700K for a glorified townhouse in Niagara Falls, ON? What the hell is wrong with the housing market in Canada? These sellers have listed their house at 2022 Peak Prices. All they need to do now to sell their house is to find a time machine and go back 2 years to 2022 to ensure that that the house will sell. LMAO. 🤔🤔🤔

Great analysis - thank you Jon! Prices will stay totally irrational, as long as the fed gov continues to do all it can to maintain high prices. How? Examples: 1) massive immigration; 2) demanding changes in terms of mortgage loans (amortization periods, payments etc); 3) Home Buyer's plan (from $35K to $60K); 4) purchasing Mortgage Backed Securities directly (something that the CMHC has warned against) first at $20B/year then to $40B/year and now at$60B/year) and the list goes on and on.

I agree, tenants have too many rights now and if they decide not to move out or pay rent it takes way to long to evict them, so its way to risky to buy a property with a tenant in it.

Great analysis! Thanks for the hard work

Overtime I think rates will come down but house pricing will go up. They look opposites. And renting seems more attractive if you keep paying the same rent always, which seems more variable than the chances volatile interest rates. But it is more expensive.

In Vancouver, I've heard 50% of homes are mortgage free... so I don't expect a huge correction to ever happen in the Lower Mainland.

What if you put down 50% downpayment 5 Year fixed, 15 Year Amort and knock the hell out of interest with aggressive lump sum pre-payments?? Everybody is saying why would you pay so much in advance if you can invest that money elsewhere....

What do you mean by "Affordability will return"? House prices may go down a bit, but not much. It will be similar to 2008 except this time, the house prices will remain flat until such time that wages are equaled...essentially, when businesses decide to pay higher wages.

It’s just a few hundred dollars more per month than owning and I get a huge upgrade in living standard. The house is probably worth about $2m. To own it, monthly payments would be double if I had $1m downpayment.

The government will do whatever it takes to avoid a crash so I think were in for a long ride to affordability with stagnant prices. Investors are getting out as there will be better returns in stock markets other than canada.

Inflation is 5%

Vacant homes numbers arise - Declaration of Vacant unit forms are being filled as expected. Also still it is not a bad option to choose ownership over renting. One does not have to go with a 4 bedroom house, just stick to your needs if required. Not to forget that rent is going to go up each year whereas the ratio of interest in your regular payments goes down with the amortization cycle. Also in the longer run, real estate is born to rise. It's another myth to expect lower home prices in a market where the gap between demand and supply is still increasing. It is not like the fact that people do have capital to invest or buy. It's just whoever is holding with patience, is a smart spender, and when the smart purchaser is going to rush into the market in 2025-2026, Boom you are back on track to Increase in prices with an Increase in demand.

you can check condollo for Montreal Statistics tho

being at the age where I am retiring soon and will be moving back to my home town, it makes no sense to purchase a home, due to the fact that your monthly mortgage payments contribute diddly-squat to the principal on the loan for the fist several years. Your equity in the home does not start to appreciate until several years have passed. At my age it's a no-brainer. I will rent in my new locale when I retire. I can't afford to buy something anyway.

We've been renting for twenty years. Trouble is finding enough bank accounts to hold $100k in each. Oh, and the fear that the banks will all go under and there's no deposit insurance in reality. Inflation is also a killer, owning a house you're keeping up with the market, houses we could have easily afforded ten years ago are now far out of reach (even with the cash).

What are you thinking of doing going ahead?

Knowone ever uses the real numbers it cost to own a home. That is how I shut people down right away who make a stupid comment like buying is always better. That time is long gone. I know many people who bought in the last 5 years that will be and are very sorry but rarely admit it. The time will come 10 years from now after paying massive amounts of interest, they sell and after all fees see what they are left with. Nothing wrong with owning, if you buy at the right time. In Canada, that time ended around 2017 ish. I will stay in my rent controlled apartment $1400/m and keep my wealth producing monthly dividends for me to retire early. This is coming from someone who has homes multiple homes in the past. We can all see Canada is screwed…. But John is right….

Real estate investors and agents never seem to mention opportunity costs. How much money are you losing by sinking your 100k in to the property instead of a GIC at 5%? You can’t pretend this opportunity cost does not exist. It’s guaranteed! What is 5% of $100k compounded annually over a 60 month mortgage term? Add that to the cost of home ownership. Let’s also not forget of the CHMC fees plus taxes. 4% charge upfront for absolutely nothing. 4% of 700k completely gone. Now you want to cash in on your real estate investment? Well it’s not exactly a liquid investment by any standard. You will have to pay real estate fees plus taxes just to cash in. Now where did you take the money for the down payment from? Your TFSA? Because all of your gains in that account were non-taxable. Your real estate gains on the other hand will be taxes (if it’s not principal residence). Not to mention maintenance on the property and other dead costs paid towards absolutely nothing. At the end of the day what it works out to is that your RE needs to be going up in value a certain % over time to make money. If it’s the same value or dropping over time you’re losing money.

With Property Tax, Home Insurance and in some cases neighborhood fees some people are paying 5,000$-7,000$ in mortgage. No doubt people are renting out rooms and basements to recover the cost.

You’re not better off buying either at least in Canada

Nobody 'gets' it.... it's Real Estate/currency debasement based DEBT expansion...... go get a Peanut Buster Parfait and an Ice Cream Cone at DQ = $12.00 RIDICULOUS !

Should CAD continue to plummet, assets like RE will only continue to increase in value.

@@user-tr5zk8dj3t NOPE ! You are missing the most important factor to Real Estate valuations.... that being prevailing Financial Conditions supportive of the valuations relative to "GDI" or 'Gross Domestic Incomes' available for Canadians under Canada's barely ~$2 Trillion dwindling GDP ..... are insufficient to service/maintain the Payments on the now $3+ Trillion combined Mortgage/Consumer DEBT imbalance. BIG problem..... to the tune of a minimum $400B to $500B out 36-48 Months regardless of any BoC rate deviations from US Fed Policy ? and which represents still ~25% of the current $2.1 Trillion Mortgage imbalance alone ? Simply put.... the debasement based DEBT expansion that has already occurred and resultant servicing GDI deficit..... is such that rates can not be lowered accommodative to supporting current valuations anytime soon without resurgent cpi core inflation.... and those excess instruments will have to attenuate one way or the other unless someone can pull a rabbit out their arse ?

Mortgage price chart says it all payments doubled from 2020-2024 😂
