I don't believe much of that article and I know both of the people quoted in it (realtor and mortgage guy). I will save you the details, I don't know why they keep making up new narratives.
I sold 2 places in the last 30 days and have also bought a couple over the same time period. 4 transactions, 1 was an investor (and it was a condo, which is common with condo buyers). Everybody else in the detached space is for the most part an end user.
The place I sold last week, 52 showings, winning bid was a young couple, first time home buyers. Place before that, same thing.
There is a shortage of active listings, nobody wants to list because they have nowhere to go. You sell a $1M townhouse to move to a 1.6M detached? That's a huge bump in aggregate mortgage so you have people staying put, it's just way too expensive to upgrade. No listings, and this is the end result. investors lol
Would be good to see what Hator is seeing on his end.

Of note, one investor I am actively working with right now that's looking at detached is only looking at places that can't be financed so you eliminate 90% of the competition, so that's not exactly inventory normal people buy. Places such as grow ops, abandoned homes, tenants who won't move out, vacant land, construction projects that ran out of money, etc. I just came back from looking at a meth lab for fuck's sake That's what "investors" look at, not cookie cuter detached in Suburbia.

Lost a bidding war on a condo tonight, identical unit sold for 620k, 2 months ago. Same unit, couple of floors up, suspect it will sell closer to 690k...what a difference just 2 months makes. We tapped out at 650k.
Why work, just buy condos that appreciate 70k for every 2 months, ffs.

It's an issue and a big one, construction projects are a favourite for washing money, that's generally where it goes. Then turn up FULL CYCLE.

Been say for the last few years that there is a war on cars in Toronto. Slowly trickling into the suburbs uptown. Traffic has been a nightmare in the last 6 years.

He must've missed the memo that 'foreign buyers' as per the technical definition are like less than 1%, unless they go after those with PR cards too and the 'students' and 'house wives'.
More garbo solutions.

meanwhile, Toronto replaced the parking minimums to parking maximum for new residential developments. Toronto must really hate cars. It doesn't make sense to do change the parking rules for new developments if there are no public transit infrastructure in place as Toronto aren't exactly shitting out new subway lines on a yearly basis. I guess their solution is to bike across the city. YOLO. ![laugh1](/images/graemlins/default/laugh1.gif) developers are already loving the change bc it's a cost saving for them and they can sell parking at a premium rate.
The new parking regulations will help to make Toronto much worse off in the long run. No other infrastructure is in place to get around properly. It’s easy to reduce spaces but will be near impossible to add them.

One of my tweets last week made it to Canadian Parliament, who knew CSI would be dictating housing policy.
https://twitter.com/PierrePoilievre/status/1478820754904866821?s=20
Housing is in gridlock, emergency status at this point. I unloaded one of my properties in December, taking profit, no idea how long this lasts.
If you have multiple properties, can't think of a better time to unload the dogs. If you have one property hang on to dear life, it's like we are become a class of renters and owners.

Bank of Canada doesn't jack up rates, real estate will continue to spiral out of control.
Sold one of my properties last month, taking profit. This shit is absolute insanity.
$1.1M for interior townhouse in Keswick. 2M for detached in Brampton/Whitby
Condos are running now, downtown will absolutely rip as the weather gets better.
Couple that with clients with small kids all locking up resale or preconstruction condos now for their kids out of fear of them being priced out. What a time to be alive.

we would need to downsize if we want to help out our kids. Don't think I can rock a rental property. The cost of a 400k-450k mortgage, property taxes, maintenance would be too much.

Pierre filed the paperwork to run for the federal CPC leadership.
Could this be another career change for Risky? Risky to run for the MP in Markham? Surely he can do a better job to troll the MPs in the house of commons than most spineless MPs

Not to mention, 70k realtors in GTA right now, I think 1 for every 88 people and a stat I heard is there are 50k people enrolled at Humber to get their license (not sure if true).
Regardless, what I appreciate about this profession is that it chews people out as fast as it takes them in.
Being a realtor is easy they said, LOTS OF MONEY ThEY SAiD.
I can't wait!
