Macleans: Canadian Real Estate Crisis: You're About To Get Burned

I'll do a follow up when I read the article.  The housing bubble articles are coming fast and furious.

  1. You are so self-serving. After mercilessly criticizing the mainstream media, suddenly they have credibility because they publish a story you agree with?

    1. Yeah, Kevin is so self serving... unlike those folks in the Real Estate and Banking industries.

  2. I have not read the story. So you are jumping to conclusions that I agree with them. But as I said the housing bubble articles are coming fast and furious. If they understand how the fundamentals of the housing market are out of whack, then I agree with them.

    For Canada
    -House price to income, rent and earnings out of whack.
    -Residential investment is now at previous bubble highs.
    -Household debt to income and GDP higher than the US.
    -Mortgage debt is the only thing that correlates to the rise in house prices, not incomes, not GDP, not employment, nothing.
    - A soft landing is not possible throughout the country.

    If they understand this, then I agree with them.
