In reply to Ravi. They should make reading comprehension a part of the Realtor exam. Most people would read someone quoting a bank's opinion and realize they're telling you what a bank thinks. Not if you're a Realtor—you assume the person quoting it must have the opinion, and you criticize them. Did you not criticize the bank because they would laugh and ridicule your education first?

This cart is an over simplification. Is this covering all of Canada or just the major cities that immigrants typically move to?

Major cities attract immigrants and job seekers from across Canada so yes, there are likely homes available, they’re just not affordable or in areas people are interested in living in.

Just quoting your view now. “Canada’s ability to continue perpetual growth at this clip is unrealistic. Poaching 1 million people per year might be doable in the short-term, but not persistently”.

Where will these new 1 million people live? HBA of Canada reported we are significantly building less, and in a recent study, CMHC stated the same. To accommodate people you need housing.

Seems like you are bearish on Canadian Real Estate Market. Is that fair to say?

Anyone who followed your advice from previous “fear-based articles”, do you know how much money they lost by not investing in Real Estate after BOC paused interest rates and inflation started coming down?

In reply to Ahmed. The government likes to pretend they are concerned about housing affordably. I should be obvious to everybody by now the the current government is only interested in creating profitable conditions for real estate speculators.
