The demand continues to compound YOY while supply dwindles and remains low This pattern and statistics attracts local ,domestic, and foreign investors with equity adding even more pressure to the demand.

Printer goes Brrrrr with Trudeau and consequently, hard assets like real estate goes flying high....and I, a conservative, gets rich renting to avocado toast eating Liberals.
Please study politics. Conservative, the right, is less government control and more capitalism. Pricing still goes up as Conservative allows suburban sprawl, basically more housing less green space and deadly traffic. Liberal is socialism and more government control for wealth re-distribution. For housing, more green space less suburban sprawl and higher density living with condos. But if you must see affordable housing, vote NDP. Only NDP can destroy real estate market by building social housing in rich neighborhoods and therefore destroying real estate pricing. LoL
How much are all these people making to be buying million dollar homes? I mean that's like $6k - $8k monthly payment. The stress level, depression and divorce rate must be very high in Canada. That's not a sustainable model.
It’s about $5k a month and the average basement apartment is about $1800-2000 per month which is applied towards the mortgage and a lot of people are renting out their basements even in a townhouse.
@@bravehats why what's wrong with renting out a basement you don't have to interact with your tenants and they have their own separate entrance to the basement so how is it that bad?
Buyers with 1 million budget F#$K that. Look at the AVERAGE Canadian earning per year it is basically 50k (THIS IS BEFORE tax mind you), serious budget for 1million most don't even have HALF. People do not even attempt to become buyers because they already know they are F$%Ked. Even shitty bachelor 350 sq foot condos are going for half a MILL, its NUTS.
That doesn't work, the Chinese buy all the new stock and the result would actually be much higher prices. I can 100 percent assure this would be the end result. The price of all the new homes around the 2 to 3 million dollar mark would skew the overall home prices sharply upward.
@@johnshields8555 yea because the Chinese are buying all the real estate in brampton, oakville, Hamilton, Burlington. Your just being anti chinese. Why did the housing market shoot up like crazy in America too? They don't have a huge chinese population buying housing. Its investors plain and simple, doesn't matter the race.
It's very frustrating that the government bends over backwards to appease older people and completely neglects the younger population. Then they wonder why young people don't vote as much, when none of the parties represent our best interests we have no good options. The truth of the matter is that quality of life is declining for future generations in Canada and as long as older people get there pension and 2M home sale they don't care.
Canadian real estate market is not free market. New house builds limited by quotes, those quotes spreading between "connected" builders. Result is obvious
@@mikeheaton8424 Jerome Powell is supposed to wimp out this September on interest rates so home prices in Canada should bottom around September or October this year along with interest rates. The Chinese will drive prices to the moon if interest rates start to fall this September or October. New homes prices will reach 5 million dollars apiece.
The solution is simple. Keep raising interest rates. Theirs too many "not so smart" people that don't care about price as long as they can get the money
The only solution for this housing is interest rate to go up which will end the cheap money, because since 2008 it the interest rate was so low anyone can afford higher cost for the housing. Once bank of Canada starts to raise the rate, you will see people will be in tears.
Properties that we bought back in 2001 (townhouse) in BC bought at just $160,000.oo / $60,000.oo are now worth $698,000.oo and $388,000.oo insane! I guess the smart thing to do is sell one and buy much cheaper rental properties in Alberta and Montreal and just get multiple room hone rented at 6-800/mo per room
There's no renters in Alberta and all the property managers are complete crooks and I mean crooks. Libertas was the last honest property manager and they left about 6 years ago.
I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive.

I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities .
Stupid. Raising interest rates might push down housing prices, but the COST to the buyer will still be the same. This idea is similar to adding taxes, to push prices lower. Both ideas only damage the entry level buyers.
Raising interest rates will make it harder for regular people to buy a home. Institutional investors already get better rates from the banks, and investors with 10-20 million on hand don't really care. It will only accelerate investor purchases.
It will make harder for people to service their current mortgage on an already overpriced house. With higher interest rate people will start losing their houses to banks... more houses on the market will lower these absurd prices!
@@namesnikola people get stress tested at 2% already so its not gonna happen how you think. Its not easy to get a mortgage like people think just because rates are low. This isnt America.

Anyone have any videos about what all levels of government could do to combat this crazy market? Small town? Provincial? Federal? I believe it will take many changes at all levels,
It was a bubble in 2005 when I first started looking, and the bubble was suppose to pop and never did. Price memory and low rates made this real. Even if rates go up will have small 10% affect, at most.
Should be 20% down required over $100k, 40% over $500k, 50% over $1 million. Unless you can predict the jobs and the exact money you can make for the next 30 years, including all the recessions and depressions. Nobody can do that, downpayment are there to reduce risk nobody should be taking.
Most of us were unemployed when pandemic started back Imid March. Therefore, buying a property is the last thing on our list On the other hand, when property price goes up, your property tax will only go higher. Those who was able to buy a home are very lucky.😝
The gap between haves and have nots is increasing amongst the middle class. People who owned houses before 2020 are on easy street right now sitting on a beautiful nest egg, nice!
That drives home prices sharply higher because the Chinese buys all the new housing stock the second it comes up for sale skewing home prices sharply higher.
The simple solution is to bar ALL Chinese both local and foreign from buying then home prices would revert back to the locals non-Chinese income some 70 percent lower in price. In fact I could get a Nobel prize for this if it was enacted😁
Part of the problem with the price of homes, especially new homes is the amount of tax hidden in the price. From Fees and material cost. The price of 1/2" plywood went from $13 -$90 plus here in Bc this past year (it has come down since) which the government was now profiting more based on the tax percentage. (12% in BC) They re the ones truely driving house prices up, especially mid range/townhomes as that is what most can afford. They need to cap taxes on the goods for lower income families if they really want them in a home. We already have over 2% LTT. so any home over $2M has and extra $41k + in tax here. The market here is so insane, houses that are not liveable (in suburbs) on 1/4-1/2 acre lots have increased from 1.4-2.2 M just this past year alone.
Depends: if it's a new build and you're buying it as an investment property, Yes you pay HST (harmonized sales tax). If it's a new build and you're buying it to move in as your primary residence, you don't pay tax. If it's an existing build no HST for investors or owner occupied.
How does increasing interest rates make buying a house more affordable? New buyers can't afford big mortgage payments and Regular people will lose their houses to the bank with those high payments and the investors, devs jump in and grab those houses. Steve is talking out of his ass.
Real estate is still local and is uneven in Canada. I could sell one property in ontario cottage country that has gone up 4x in last 5 years and buy 4 single family homes in Calgary right now at the benchmark price. GTA and GVA have inflated dramatically while other parts of country haven’t done much at all. You guys never talk about that.
Many resale apartments in Edmonton sold last year for around $38,000 or around the same price of a cheap new car. I saw about 3 dozen of them sell right around that figure. Of course there's zero renters in Edmonton and at the lowest end there's no buyers as you have to put up 50 percent or more cash.
If you lack the trust in a nation you shouldn’t buy Real estate in that nation. These prices are a reflection of: bottlenecks in chain supplies strict labor shortage due to lazy natives and strict immigration policies & low interest rates which only pours more gasoline onto the fire 🔥 You only lose when you sell at a loss in which case I’m happy that you lost because it only shows that you overextended yourself to begin with and don’t have the 🥚s nor the cash flow to hold.

@@felixgallardo190 Had the same struggles as a beginner before a colleague introduced me to Mr Elis who showed me great strategies on how trade and accumulate profit constantly which helped a lot during the download and unlike others,He doesn’t ask for anything to teach you. Good people still exist.
Mr Elis is a sincere man who understands the challenges faced by beginners.i started trading bitcoin under his guidance after seeing his interview with CNDH.He does not request for any chargers to teach investors on how to trade and generate profit for themselves .
I was a stay-at-home mother and I have been searching for a job but since I met Expert Elis I am’t bothered anymore . because his expertise in trade yield me over 5500 weekly that’s more than what my husband gets hahaha
The only way to deal with the ridiculously high cost of housing is to vote Conservative.
Lol sure. You know absolutely nothing about housing works.
@@craigrodriguez8384 yeah right, I have 4 detached rentals in Oakville and I am thankful to this Liberal government for making me filthy rich at 43 years old. I do however feel the pain of those wanting in. Sadly, most of them are too stupid to make the connection between the Liberals spending (the budget will balance itself) and high house prices. Printer goes Brrrrr with Trudeau and consequently, hard assets like real estate goes flying high....and I, a conservative, gets rich renting to avocado toast eating Liberals.
Please study politics. Conservative, the right, is less government control and more capitalism. Pricing still goes up as Conservative allows suburban sprawl, basically more housing less green space and deadly traffic. Liberal is socialism and more government control for wealth re-distribution. For housing, more green space less suburban sprawl and higher density living with condos. But if you must see affordable housing, vote NDP. Only NDP can destroy real estate market by building social housing in rich neighborhoods and therefore destroying real estate pricing. LoL
@@shichynwang Conservatives NEVER ran a deficit as high as the libs. They doubled house prices within 5 years. Please get your head checked bud
@@shichynwang Conservatives never played with this money printing game
How much are all these people making to be buying million dollar homes? I mean that's like $6k - $8k monthly payment. The stress level, depression and divorce rate must be very high in Canada. That's not a sustainable model.
have the same question
It’s about $5k a month and the average basement apartment is about $1800-2000 per month which is applied towards the mortgage and a lot of people are renting out their basements even in a townhouse.
@@tee6ix66 how is that healthy living? Imagine being married with kids and renting out your basement. What type of lifestyle is that?
Most people just bought early and made a lot of money from that house
@@bravehats why what's wrong with renting out a basement you don't have to interact with your tenants and they have their own separate entrance to the basement so how is it that bad?
The trick is just don't buy a house or have kids and then at least you can get a cool car
Buyers with 1 million budget F#$K that. Look at the AVERAGE Canadian earning per year it is basically 50k (THIS IS BEFORE tax mind you), serious budget for 1million most don't even have HALF. People do not even attempt to become buyers because they already know they are F$%Ked. Even shitty bachelor 350 sq foot condos are going for half a MILL, its NUTS.
It actually lower than that.
@@parkerbohnn What's Lower? Average earnings? Probably but I took that number from stats Canada.
Heres the answer: Build more housing, the only solution
That doesn't work, the Chinese buy all the new stock and the result would actually be much higher prices. I can 100 percent assure this would be the end result. The price of all the new homes around the 2 to 3 million dollar mark would skew the overall home prices sharply upward.
@@johnshields8555 yea because the Chinese are buying all the real estate in brampton, oakville, Hamilton, Burlington. Your just being anti chinese. Why did the housing market shoot up like crazy in America too? They don't have a huge chinese population buying housing. Its investors plain and simple, doesn't matter the race.
In Canada there just are not enough people under 45. All policy is geared towards old people who already own most of the assets.
It's very frustrating that the government bends over backwards to appease older people and completely neglects the younger population. Then they wonder why young people don't vote as much, when none of the parties represent our best interests we have no good options. The truth of the matter is that quality of life is declining for future generations in Canada and as long as older people get there pension and 2M home sale they don't care.
Are we at a top yet? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Everyone is a millionaire nowadays
The inventory remains stable for decades but just there are too many buyers or speculators due to free credits. Good luck!!!
Canadian real estate market is not free market. New house builds limited by quotes, those quotes spreading between "connected" builders. Result is obvious
This is so depressing, ill never be able to afford a home or a family or a decent life
A year from now things could be completely different. You might be glad you don’t own , or prices drop significantly and be a good time too buy .
@@mikeheaton8424 Jerome Powell is supposed to wimp out this September on interest rates so home prices in Canada should bottom around September or October this year along with interest rates. The Chinese will drive prices to the moon if interest rates start to fall this September or October. New homes prices will reach 5 million dollars apiece.
People are nut.......don't listen to agents as the bottom line benefits go to are brokers, banks and governments.
A trailer park home in NB went from 50 thousand to 130 thousand in 2 years..Blackrock?
It be nice if rent for apartments would go down ppl are trying to make you pay 1600 for a shitty place thats falling apart others are nice but danm
9:00 more demand and more price growth, but more buying power for first time home buyers trying to get in the market and build equity.
The solution is simple. Keep raising interest rates. Theirs too many "not so smart" people that don't care about price as long as they can get the money
Palm trees in Vancouver? Like what is this sorcery?
The only solution for this housing is interest rate to go up which will end the cheap money, because since 2008 it the interest rate was so low anyone can afford higher cost for the housing. Once bank of Canada starts to raise the rate, you will see people will be in tears.
The government needs to stay out of all business… including the money business.
the government works for the bankers
@@keepingitsimple88 yes, that’s the problem…
Properties that we bought back in 2001 (townhouse) in BC bought at just $160,000.oo / $60,000.oo are now worth $698,000.oo and $388,000.oo insane! I guess the smart thing to do is sell one and buy much cheaper rental properties in Alberta and Montreal and just get multiple room hone rented at 6-800/mo per room
There's no renters in Alberta and all the property managers are complete crooks and I mean crooks. Libertas was the last honest property manager and they left about 6 years ago.
I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 75K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities .
@jay pritchett Hi , please who is the expert assisting you and how do I reach out to them?
Stupid. Raising interest rates might push down housing prices, but the COST to the buyer will still be the same. This idea is similar to adding taxes, to push prices lower. Both ideas only damage the entry level buyers.
Raising interest rates will make it harder for regular people to buy a home. Institutional investors already get better rates from the banks, and investors with 10-20 million on hand don't really care. It will only accelerate investor purchases.
It will make harder for people to service their current mortgage on an already overpriced house. With higher interest rate people will start losing their houses to banks... more houses on the market will lower these absurd prices!
@@namesnikola people get stress tested at 2% already so its not gonna happen how you think. Its not easy to get a mortgage like people think just because rates are low. This isnt America.
@@Holiday25832 you are wrong sir
@@namesnikola Government will not allow that to happen... BOC knows the only thing propping up Canadian economy is the housing bubble fuelled by Foreign money
@@sidb9540 The local Chinese in southern Ontario have a much bigger affect on housing prices than the foreign buyers. Out in British Columbia its like 50/50.
The worst argument for supporting current housing prices: My kids need a good inheritance.
Does Canada 🍁 know they don’t have an Obama to bail them out …. USA will find another Obama next election 🗳::)))) don’t follow us guys. We sthoooopid :))) smh
How can people afford the property taxes on these?
They can't.
Interest rates 📌
Anyone have any videos about what all levels of government could do to combat this crazy market? Small town? Provincial? Federal? I believe it will take many changes at all levels,
It was a bubble in 2005 when I first started looking, and the bubble was suppose to pop and never did.
Price memory and low rates made this real. Even if rates go up will have small 10% affect, at most.
All those equity refugees...back when equity meant liquid assets.
Canada loves other peoples money
Get in the market, it only goes up from here. Supply < Demand.
Should be 20% down required over $100k, 40% over $500k, 50% over $1 million. Unless you can predict the jobs and the exact money you can make for the next 30 years, including all the recessions and depressions. Nobody can do that, downpayment are there to reduce risk nobody should be taking.
The dream I was sold to as a kid is never going to be a reality.
people be like: thE craSH is cOMiNg xDDDDDDDDDDD
My house I bought may 2020- $638,000 closing.
Now- $795,000
NUTS
Most of us were unemployed when pandemic started back Imid March. Therefore, buying a property is the last thing on our list On the other hand, when property price goes up, your property tax will only go higher. Those who was able to buy a home are very lucky.😝
@@jamesyeung3551 my wife and I are beyond lucky. It’s crazy.
@@jamesyeung3551 also Fa sure felt the tax increase on my property.
The gap between haves and have nots is increasing amongst the middle class. People who owned houses before 2020 are on easy street right now sitting on a beautiful nest egg, nice!
@@jamesyeung3551 its called setting yourself up not luck
Polaritons could do the right thing but it would hurt themselves, much better to hurt others.
“Nuts”
Yep you should have said Brantford houses are selling for 500K over asking even if you want to sell where are you going to buy it’s nuts
Only a short airplane ride to civilization.
Simple supply and demand economics at play
It will eventually calm down and lots of pain this time on speculators side.
Lol no conflict of interest asking these people😂
INCREASE SUPPLY !!!
That drives home prices sharply higher because the Chinese buys all the new housing stock the second it comes up for sale skewing home prices sharply higher.
waiting for the bubble to pop be like 😐
NO nothing else will work
Same thing in calgary
Bitcoin fixes this!
runaway wealth inequality. Powered by zero interest rates.
bains looks like a robot
Sharp guys 🔥
The simple solution is to bar ALL Chinese both local and foreign from buying then home prices would revert back to the locals non-Chinese income some 70 percent lower in price. In fact I could get a Nobel prize for this if it was enacted😁
Part of the problem with the price of homes, especially new homes is the amount of tax hidden in the price. From Fees and material cost. The price of 1/2" plywood went from $13 -$90 plus here in Bc this past year (it has come down since) which the government was now profiting more based on the tax percentage. (12% in BC) They re the ones truely driving house prices up, especially mid range/townhomes as that is what most can afford. They need to cap taxes on the goods for lower income families if they really want them in a home. We already have over 2% LTT. so any home over $2M has and extra $41k + in tax here. The market here is so insane, houses that are not liveable (in suburbs) on 1/4-1/2 acre lots have increased from 1.4-2.2 M just this past year alone.
Does it have any tax for property in canada?
Depends:
if it's a new build and you're buying it as an investment property, Yes you pay HST (harmonized sales tax).
If it's a new build and you're buying it to move in as your primary residence, you don't pay tax.
If it's an existing build no HST for investors or owner occupied.
@@JJs_playground tks. Sound reasonable to prevent speculators too much
There's land transfer tax and Toronto has two land transfer taxes. The average land transfer tax is around $50,000.
Maybe slow down the immigration?
The problem is the Chinese all the immigrants Canada takes in are penniless.
“Irregardless” “anyways” …those aren’t words guys. Especially irregardless. That isn’t the word friend, go back to school and learn the language.
How does increasing interest rates make buying a house more affordable? New buyers can't afford big mortgage payments and Regular people will lose their houses to the bank with those high payments and the investors, devs jump in and grab those houses. Steve is talking out of his ass.
Many buyers pay all cash so what they pay is a lot less if the price falls.
You must have failed grade one math.
Real estate is still local and is uneven in Canada. I could sell one property in ontario cottage country that has gone up 4x in last 5 years and buy 4 single family homes in Calgary right now at the benchmark price. GTA and GVA have inflated dramatically while other parts of country haven’t done much at all. You guys never talk about that.
You're forgetting Ottawa, prices here are skyrocketing.
Many resale apartments in Edmonton sold last year for around $38,000 or around the same price of a cheap new car. I saw about 3 dozen of them sell right around that figure. Of course there's zero renters in Edmonton and at the lowest end there's no buyers as you have to put up 50 percent or more cash.
If you lack the trust in a nation you shouldn’t buy Real estate in that nation.
These prices are a reflection of: bottlenecks in chain supplies
strict labor shortage due to lazy natives and strict immigration policies
& low interest rates which only pours more gasoline onto the fire 🔥
You only lose when you sell at a loss in which case I’m happy that you lost because it only shows that you overextended yourself to begin with and don’t have the 🥚s nor the cash flow to hold.
While money is cheap and Banks continue to lend then it’ll just keep growing 📈⬆️ sounds like ‘06-‘08 and remember what happened 📉⬇️ 😱 😱😱
