> Home sales in June posted their largest monthly drop in seven years, driven by a plunge in the Greater Toronto market, the Canadian Real Estate Association said Monday.
A 917k house in march is now worth 740k - if you're lucky.The prices keep dropping, people are holding off on buying knowing that they'll get a cheaper house in the future.
I hope you boomers lose half the value of your homes. You're the garbage of the nation.

YES
keep dropping FOREVER hahaha

They deserve it.

Isn't this good?

I shared this sentiment until I bought my own house. Now I love the idea of making a profit just for holding onto something for awhile.
Anthony Thomas
This will drive down rent and hopefully shake the confidence of the chinese.
They'll be less likely to put it into a house if they think they'll lose another 40 percent of their dirty money.
Yes
good for you.

People in my building in Coquitlam listed their 3 bedroom condo for $659k and got well above asking price. It took them two days to sell it. I'm set to do the same. I think Vancouver is still well inside the euphoria phase.
Luke Perry
You are clearly quite the expert.
Alexander Evans
Well, actually living inside the market and witnessing first hand what is happening right now at this very moment I can say that I'm actually more qualified to speak on the subject than you. Two weeks ago my in laws neighbor just got $1.5 million after listing for one week, it was on the market for $1.2 million. My friends dad that lives in the same neighborhood just closed on a land assembly and was given $3.1 million for his home which was assessed at $1.2 million.

You should compared the assessed value from the city, which is a straight forward Google search, to list prices you find on realtor.ca. if you do that, you will see exactly how overvalued those homes are.

Austin Evans
Here's what will happen; Big selloff, big glut, lots of people forced to sell being stuck with the losses because everyone's overleveraged thanks to 0% loans for years.
At first idiot commentators will be like "is this the end of chinese domination in Canada"? But then when it hits the bottom and the middle and poor classes get stuck with the bill, foreign money will sweep in to buy up everything, prices skyrocket and now your only choice is a rental from ChinaCorp or RussiaHovel.
Evan Sanders
the only useful data would be what they bought the house for initially with inflation

>foreign money will sweep in to buy up everything, prices skyrocket and now your only choice is a rental from ChinaCorp or RussiaHovel.
that's pretty bad. i doubt the government will do anything to stop them, that would be racist

But yeah the crash is going to be epic with RE. It's literally the only reason people aren't homeless on the street. Soon they will be though..

It's incorrect to blame boomers in this regard. They're just taking advantage of the market exactly the way you would and should. Playing the market makes the market more efficient and this is better for everyone.
What you CAN blame the boomers for is the credit expansion that caused this bubble in the first place. The boomers put in place (or at least failed to dismantle) the monetary policy that allows way too many cheap mortgages. When you have an unnaturally high supply of loans, you can demand more for every house. Hence, unnaturally high housing prices.
Once again, central banking rears its ugly head. If our generation fails to dismantle the central banks, our children will shit on us they way we're shitting on the boomers.

Speculators aren't going to buy into a declining market that will stagnate for years.
The IMF came out and warned that Poloz was fucking insane the day after he raised
>“The main risk on the domestic side is a sharp correction in the housing market that impairs bank balance sheets, triggers negative feedback loops in the economy, and increases contingent claims on the government,” the fund said.
aka house prices drop 20%+, economy crashes because people can't tap their home equity credit line, banks go insolvent because their Tier 1 capital ratios get BTFO, they start putting in CMHC mortgage insurance claims which is backed by the Government of Canada and the Canadian government has to bail out the CMHC by issuing hundreds of billions in emergency debt, destroying the loonie and interest rates would skyrocket as the debt would be toxic. The increased interest debt would fuck the economy even more etc
CMHC insures $950B in mortgages yet only has $16B in assets (60:1 leverage).

Live in a trailer park. That way you can have tons of kids and live cheaply.
Henry Howard
Save as much as you can, and wait for the bubble to pop. That's how I bought my home in California. Bay area prices plummeted after the housing bubble popped.
Now the rent bubble is exploding, and my mortgage is lower then the monthly rent on a studio appartment. Plus all my tax breaks for owning are great. Suck it renter scum!
Zachary Bailey
It was hard enough convincing her away from the ZOG mind virus that anything over 2 kids is economic suicide(but always room for dogs ;) ).
Living in a trailer park would how to be a option of desperation. Plus the dream is country living, fourwheeling, hunting, and just being efficient... But that takes land*.
Ryder Williams
candians do that since america matters to them. canada doesnt matter to us unless we feel like visiting your gimmick waterfall on your side
Blake Brown
You know what? Fuck you. I've had it. I've tried to play nice. I've tried to laugh it off. But enough is enough. The Canada-hate thing is getting old. I know we have a reputation for being kind and polite, but that ends now.
The Canada-hate has to stop. First of all, it's based off a lie - that we're cucked because our Prime Minister is a “cuck”, as you call it. That isn't even true. Justin Trudeau is a former boxer, snowboarder, and environmentalist. Name me one "real" man who can claim even two of those things! He said if you kill your enemies they win, because if you have to resort to killing, that means you couldn't hold your own in a ration debate. Secondly, Canadians aren't shitposters. We speak our feelings. We tell you the truth. We share our opinions. If that's what counts as shitposting these days, then call me an Aussie. I don't know why Americans are so intimidated by hearing genuine, thoughtful criticism of their country and their politics, but you obviously are. All I can say to that is: deal with it. It's the 21st century. This is the information age. If information scares you, then go back to your bumfuck trailer somewhere and hang on to your delusions. Me? I'm a freethinker. I'm an idea man. I thrive off of enthusiasm. And I fucking love science. So when a Canadian is nice enough to offer you constructive criticism, take it as a compliment. Because we want to see you thrive as a country. We want to see you progress and follow us into the future.
End Canada-hate NOW.

land is the holy grail of property. Building a house is a lot cheaper than most people think and isn't really that hard to do if you have a few friends who know what their doing. But to buy land in BC (for cheap) you have to completely exile yourself from Vancouver or put yourself on an island where the population is below 500, where power outages are common and BC hydro takes 4 days to get to you because the waves are too strong for the ferry to make it.

Jonathan Cook
You are right about one thing leaf. No real man can claim even two of those things.
Austin White
You sound young and poor.
I've already made $100 000 buying and selling a few properties over the last 10 years. My latest one was a smart purchase that'll sit on for a while, and ride this bubble out.
I'm looking forward to this second crash so I can buy a nicer place for a reasonable value in a few years. That's what I did back in 2008.
William Ward
Mortgages in Canada are all ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages). You have to renew every 5 years on average. So if you have to renew, and you're underwater, you have to put up enough to bring your LTV (Loan to Value) back below 80% or else the bank doesn't renew and you get foreclosed. In fact, banks can foreclose at any time. So if you bought that 16 Thursfield house for $1,551,888 with 20% down ($300K), your mortgage would be $1.25M. Now the house value drops to $1.1M. Your $300K downpayment is gone, and your mortgage has gone from a LTV of 80% to 100%+, since you're underwater by $150,000. The bank would call you one day out of the blue, and say "Hello user, we need $370,000 wired from you by Friday morning to bring your mortgage down to $880K so your LTV is back down to 80% or we will list it for sale. This is your only warning. Thank you."

so why would you buy a house in canada? move
Christopher Rivera
Okay so if I have $150k incoming and ~$200k left on my mortgage, should I try and pay that off completely ASAP?
Luis Cox
>so why would you buy a house in canada? move
are you retarded or trying to be clever
David Lee
Yeah, Americans have it good with their mortgages- 30 year amortizations, interest is deductible and you can refinance when rates are low usually without penalty. Plus if you're underwater you can walk away 99% of the time and start over.
In Canada, mortgages are all ARMs that reset every 5 years normally (so if you're underwater you lose your house and the loss the bank takes selling your house is a Crown debt that follows you for life, so you can't discharge it in bankruptcy even), you can't deduct mortgage interest.
However, capital gains on a primary residence not taxable, which encourages house flipping.
Jose Ward
day of the leaf coming soon
Jace Gutierrez
Thank you for clarification. Is it uncommon in Canada to buy houses without mortage? Paying all money at once.
Zachary Williams
>le just move countries >it's that easy!
Caleb Lee
hahaha jelly.
Except I made the bulk of it in the first few years, and I'm still sitting on the money. And it required zero effort. The market just grew and I earned money on the initial investment.
John Hill
suicide is the other option i guess?
Easton Hernandez
how will this affect the Chinese? don't they own half this shit now?
Jordan Rodriguez
Almost nobody does that except for millionaires. 99% of houses have mortgages.
Canadian salaries are shit. Average Canadian salary is $29K, average home $504K (including apartments/condos/townhouses). Average house is like $900K and that's Canada wide. So 30:1 house price:income, when a normal ratio is 3:1.
In the 90s you can buy a bungalow in the suburbs for $100-150K, and salaries were higher. Blue collar guys made $25+/hr, or $50K/year, so it was 2-3x annual income. Interest rates were way higher, so people would usually put down a large downpayment or buy cheaper places all out.

>Housing gets cheaper >The Chinese Overmind sends more Chinese Zerglings to buy all of Canada >Canada becomes a Chinese Colony
Brandon Cox
The Chinese meme. Less than 10% of Canadian RE is foreign buyers.
The Chinese meme hit it's peak when realtors would pay Chinese actors to pretend to be billionaires and fly in several potential buyers on helicopters to look at houses and have a bidding war on the spot. They played newsclips of a video once, fucking insanity.
Owen Rivera
Canada will fall. Trump will be the last president. Our world is ending
So the Canadians thought they were bidding against a Chinese billionaire tycoon.
A con game.
Now buyers, especially in Toronto, are demanding 100k, 300k, 500k+ to close or they walk. They're doing this because typically they will buy a house then list their house for sale after, which means their house sells months after they buy their new house. If they can't sell their house for enough to cover the new mortgage, they are fucked.
So that should give you an idea of how fucked housing is now.
In Pickering, a Toronto suburb, there were 7 sales last week from 250 listings.
