Folks. That is our #1 immigration importer. Canada is fucked.

UNbelievable !
“Kevin O’Leary: Unless you can pass this two-question test, don’t buy a home”, CNBC
“”Any asset that involves taking debt to own it, like a mortgage, like a house, appreciated in value while interest rates were going down,” O’Leary explains. “Well guess what? Interest rates aren’t going down any more. Asset classes like real estate stop going up in value when it costs more to borrow the money to buy them.””

“After investors woke up to the likelihood that officials are serious about pulling back stimulus this year to control inflation, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney declared on Thursday that he may even need to raise interest rates faster than previously thought.”
“Stocks enter correction as rate-hike fears return”, Financial Post
“The dread that gripped equity markets earlier in the week re-emerged Thursday as U.S. stocks plunged on concern that rising interest rates will drag down economic growth.”
The dread that grip the bears as they realize with each passing year that homeownership is slipping further and further away from their grasp.
you are a special kind of psychopath to post here day after day with these types of goading comments. perhaps get your head looked at.
Its slipped their grasp since 1980’s….first via Foreign Locusts…then the low interest rate trap.
The aforementioned has resulted in a killing off of purchaser group…the Millenials…thats where it gets interesting without the locust factor.
And what exactly is your contribution?

“Canada is in the grip of a housing crisis more severe, by some measures,than anywhere else in the world. Household debt now amounts to more than 100 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product, according to the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements, one of the highest of any developed nation. House prices have raced ahead of wages for years, boosted by loose lending, low interest rates and lax controls on foreign money.”

Whoopsy-daisy……down she goes….. 😉 “China, Hong Kong Suffer Most as Stock Rout Shatters Market Calm” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-09/hong-kong-benchmark-heads-for-correction-as-china-shares-tumble “As global equity investors reel from the biggest selloff in two years, nowhere has the pain been more acute than in China and Hong Kong. Benchmark indexes in the world’s second- and fourth-largest stock markets have fallen faster than any of their major peers since the global rout began late last month, with worries over a Chinese deleveraging campaign adding to broader concerns about rising interest rates and stretched valuations. With losses deepening on Friday to more than 11 percent, both markets were poised to snap their longest-ever streaks without a 10 percent correction. The sudden tumble, China’s worst since its 2015 market collapse, has shocked investors who had grown accustomed to the steadying effect of state intervention over the past two years. But… Read more »
The last time markets dropped 10% was 2 years ago in 2016. Then the S&P500 went on to gain 50% in 2 years. It may still go lower but this is a buying opportunity to set up the next 50% bull run.
Here is what the experts were saying in 2016. Imagine taking this advice and “selling everything” right before it goes up 50% in 2 years.
RBS has advised clients to brace for a “cataclysmic year” and a global deflationary crisis, warning that major stock markets could fall by a fifth and oil may plummet to $16 a barrel.
As bad as that advice is, it’s still a lot better than the bears advice and trademark for the last decade and more – sell now or be priced in forever(tm)
So…..it appears that foreign locust ” hive central ” is the death star of the global economy.
Maybe BitCoin was the canary in the mine as indications were that a large amount of this now collapsed cryptocurrency was used in Asian countries, obviously for money laundering and tax evasion.
Seems like a lot of investors have no idea that their investments ultimately ended up tied to China ( like Deustche Bank ) Ouch !!!!
Rotsa Ruck with that.

This (probably white) man lost interest in real estate property jointly held with woman originally from Iran.
Detached house bought over $900K in 2004 in North Van.
Now must be over $2~$3MM worth.
It looks to me, this immigrant family used him to jointly sign the jumbo mortgage without any down payment,
faulsify his income without him knowing it (as $300,000 / year) with mortgage broker know to family member.
– Jumbo Mortgage $50k over the purchase price plus $12,000 mortgage broker fee!!
Who is unfairly enriched, this man – music teacher / coin collector, or immigrant family???
Did he pay any of the mortgage payments or was aware of it? Or is his signature faked as well?
This is why we need to kick out these kind of locust scums…just imagine this women multiply by popping out 10 or 12 little spawns and collecting $600/month each to boot.
You have to wonder if this is simply the tip of the iceberg…all these types of scams that are about to unravel..like that foreign locust that claims $98 in annual income and owns the 10th largest textile plant in China.
A new article by Terry Glavin in Macleans:
http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/the-battle-to-clean-up-b-c/
So how long is it going to take to clean up the messes left by Vision and the Liberals? 20 years? 2 generations?
This is a truly great article. It covers all angles, and I basically reported in full to make the point that the guy is right on everything he touches.
I am forwarding it to my local (NDP) MLA this weekend. But I am pretty sure the article is making the rounds already.
You could have taken most of these points in the article from one of Eby’s many pre-election speeches. Problem is now he is in government no action. Is he just another lying politician or is Horgan and his fellow real estate speculator MLAs holding him back. Eby just bought in Victoria himself which tells you everything you need to know about his intentions.
But it’s not at all clear just how far Eby will be allowed to go in his determination to clean house. For one thing, he’ll have to avoid making enemies of certain of his fellow New Democrats who did quite well for themselves in Vancouver’s civic politics and in their own real estate investments. He’ll have to watch his back.
I guess we will soon discover whether the NDP is going to take serious action on housing. Budget day is around the corner.
One thing is for sure: you will not be able to fool people with cosmetic changes. I suspect they know they will have to do something meaningful. Not much longer to wait.
You will be making excuses for them after the budget. Last year we just had to wait until they formed government, then until wait until September for the legislature, now the budget. What is the next milestone when they disappoint again?
If they fail on delivering a budget that curbs demand for housing, they WILL lose my vote and I will criticize them. I am not ideological like you. I change my vote based on the behaviour of politicians.
If the NDP pulls out a B.C. Libs-style pro housing budget, they will pay dearly for their mistake. Voters in Metro Van are expecting them to take serious action, they won’t be fooled.
You can’t ignore the irony here …. so FUNNY
WE WANT a HOUSE, WE WANT a HOUSE, WE WANT a HOUSE, the bears demands.
KILL HOUSING DEMANDS, KILL HOUSING DEMANDS, STOP INCREASING SUPPLY, STOP INCREASING SUPPLY! The bears shouts & demands
Guess what??
You are part of the demand, and supply, well supply means supply….it can’t get any simpler than that.
Nobody ever said to stop housing demand. As usual, you make stuff up.
However, increasing demand alone will not reduce house prices in Metro Van. This theory has been tested and rejected multiple times over the past 10 years.
“increasing supply alone”.
While you’re at it send this one to Horgan and the other useless tit you voted for Trudeau.
China is no friend to Canada

OooooH! look at all those properties being snapped up! All 93 of them! 2/3 are probably condos, too! Why? Because, you idiot, condos are “where it’s at”, that’s why!
Is that PaulB or the voice in your head you are calling an idiot?
SeSaw calls everyone an idiot. Sometimes even people who agree with his bizarre and frankly ludicrous opinions.
The funny thing is that there are some (apparently) normal people who encourage his wacky behaviour.
Next: he will probably start writing insults in capital letters. It is like listening to a madman trapped in the basement and screaming his head off. Sketchy…Boombust…all the same maniac.

Anyone have the Feb sales averages for the past 2 years?

Gee I wonder why the stress test didn’t slow things down. Could it be the credit unions regulated by the BC government do not have to follow the same rules. Anyone know why Carol james has not made the change? Too busy on higher priorities like getting Airbnb going?
Mortgage qualify people for three months. Many buyers are old regime.
You sound like Oracle but more partisan.
Nope the stress tests kicked in immediately. You could not pre-qualify and carry it into 2018. Unless you went to to one of Horgans credit unions.
Yo7 are wrong. I know people who qualified in November and still have the older rate.
Do they blame foreigners too?
Do bears sound like people who would ever blame themselves for anything??
It has nothing to do with the rate. It is do you qualify. The qualification is what has changed and that cannot be carried into 2018. Maybe your friends qualify under the new rules.
Are you Christy Clark? I can’t imagine who else would have so much time on their hands and such persistence in bitching about the NDP. It’s getting to be very annoying for me and I doubt it’s any good for your mental state.
I couldn’t give two shits about our political parties. They all work for whoever pays them the most and real estate is the biggest industry.
Don’t be a fool; some people are still buying to “beat” the stress test with pre-approved mortgages that are, in some cases, good until the end of March.
So is the crash delayed until March now Garth jr? You claimed we crashed already. Meanwhile stock market is down more in a week than VanRe in 2 years since it supposedly peaked.
You and Garth are shrill losers.

How is this news? Who cares?
And for some perspective, the S&P 500 is -3.5% YTD after today’s sell off.
OMG run for the hills!
the two largest point drops in history occurred in the last week. sure, not largest %-wise but certainly significant s&p could very well be down 10% ytd by tomorrows close (BOOKMARK THIS) i think the wiseguys are slipping out the back door and are positioned for a huge downdraft. on monday they were selling all they could to retail. they can short away with both hands knowing full well washington is in state of paralysis and the whole shi1tsotrm can be blamed on trump, china or whoever. everyone’s been saying this is an epic bubble all along but got way comfy and complacent watching their stocks surge higher day after day for no reason. in hindsight, the dec-feb parabolic surge was a blow off top and retail ended up the bagholder again (as evidenced by this 24 yr old financial… Read more »
My theory is after 2008, and all the Quantitative Easing, , too much $$$$ were produced that were not properly monitored as to how they were distributed and invested.
In addition, illicit funds like drug money filled much of the void of the 2008 collapse. or it may have been worse. People have little clue on how big an impact “dirty” money has on the global economy.
So, nothing was really learned except to kick the can down the road,as the same basic problem will rear its ugly head. Funds were simply taken and speculation ramped up in many sectors..like RE..stocks..etc. Now judgement day has arrived.
Bitcoin collapse was likely the canary in the mine on what we see unfolding now.
S&P 500 is down over 9% from the peak, so it’s given up the last few months of gains, much like the DOW.
The DOW is now clearly in correction territory, and it may be in for more losses in the days ahead….
🙁
While the percentage losses are relatively “normal” in terms of market corrections, I think the speed of the market selloffs probably shocked people who have probably been lulled to sleep, especially considering the very low volatility we’ve seen for the year or so…..
Hence all the people gambling on “inverse VIX ETFs” getting slaughtered…..
😀
Stock markets were in desperate need of correction, it was long overdue.
I didn’t think we’d get this type of a selloff until things started to unravel in China. I saw today a major Chinese firm has just started liquidating properties in the US due to a liquidity crunch…plus with the crypto selloff, could it be an indication that things are getting tight in China? I’m just guessing here.
If only the bears are in for a similar bout of correction and liquidation….
10 year and it seems this time they. Any break out of range. Central banks control short term rates but are impotent on long term ones. If the yields curve shifts up, there is going a significant reprising of assets.
I meant “. 10 year bond yields and longer expiries are going up and it seems this time they will break out of their range”. This has not happened since 09.
Largest Point Drops?
In 1929 The DOW lost 30 points in 1 day which was 12%
In 1987 The DOW lost 508 points in 1 day which was 22.5%
Today the DOW lost 1032 points which was 4.2%
Clearly you can see that the media is manipulating he message to sell papers. The “LARGEST POINT DROP EVER!” sounds scary but it doesn’t even make the top 100 largest 1 day percentage drops which is what matters.
This market has been non-stop upwards without a meaningful correction since 2016. This sell off was long overdue and fully expected. Could it get worse? Absolutely. You seem pretty sure of yourself so if you think its 2008 or 1932 then there are a ton of inverse ETF’s you can buy or you could simply short stocks.
Points are irrelevant. Like comparing hourly wages. A McDonalds worker today makes more than a CEO in 1929 in dollars. Doesn’t mean the McD worker is doing well.
“s&p could very well be down 10% std by tomorrows close (BOOKMARK THIS)”
And it could be 0% YTD as well. What is your point?
Please tell us what you plan on doing?
The US market is still up 20% over this time last year. I’m not complaining. TSX is negative year over year although still not as low as Summer.
They called him a “Financial Analyst”….. thank gawd he’s not a “Financial Advisor”…..

regarding the Canada Goose earnings and subsequent clubbing that shareholders are taking this morning, I can’t say I am surprised. it seems every other person (students, housewives, infants….) in Vanc has got one in every colour now, which is bordering on the moronic. if this is not a sign that companies like this as so overvalued (much like the whole market for that matter) then I don’t know what is.
Wassup…..stock markets tanking ?
I’m not really following it…
DOW off more than a thousand points at the moment….

A few percent after a 400% bull market the last decade??
Sounds like a Goose is being cooked, or dinner is served somewhere?
Markets, i take it, are the Financial markets, plump and now less a whole lotta feathers (leverage), and one expects, the flock wont be taking wing for a while?
As goes the Financial markets so does the Housing speculation. So one 3xpects the RE and housing will take care of itself, as its amply known how Politicians of all stripes, were getting their instructions from the banker gnomes all along?

it is possible that the powers that be recognize the “everything” bubble is unsustainable and have begun heading for the exits. in all honesty, nothing has been resolved since the 2008 crash other than repeated efforts to kick the can down the road, which only made the problem 100x worse. the Trump administration will attempt to convince his voter base that all this is an overseas problem, that they should shoulder all the blame and that things would be much worse had he not been elected. they also know full well that many in the western nations will also blame trump anyway so they are likely positioning themselves accordingly. the bankster crooks will make money rain or shine as long as they are told what the weather will be in advance. it is too bad that the vast majority have… Read more »
I agree 100%. We used up all our “get out of jail free” cards trying to unfuck 2008. And rather than fixing it we prolonged it while making it worse. The 2018 financial crisis or whatever it’s called will be a multiple of what we were supposed to suffer in 2008 when we chose to kick the can. This is why YVR housing no longer worries me. It is a symptom of a cycle that not even God can stop at this point. It’s out of everyone’s hands. I think that any Fed chair who takes off the band aid with respect to interest rates would be (rightly) blamed for the literal death and disarray that followed. Premiers, Prime Ministers, Finance Ministers, CMHC Chairs, and everyone else with access to levers large and small are in the same position. So… Read more »

Buddy has a condo that is completing in April. Says now he gonna AirBnB it rather than rent them out long term. He lives with his parents in south van.
Smart guy. Say he will only AirBnB it out for less than 182 days a year so he can keep one a principle residence. Says with all the demand, the AirBnB tax doesn’t faze him as he won’t be paying it. Says they can’t connect it to him or his numbered company that owns the condo as no linkage in systems.
“his numbered company that owns the condo”
A dwelling that is owned by a corporation cannot be anyone’s principal residence.
up until now it seems many owners are declaring whatever they feel like, whatever suits theirs needs depending on the situation/application and getting away with it
you could pull random mortgage application and compare with same persons tax return and likely find all sorts of discrepancies

I also know a guy doing that. They’re smart, just like you, Oracle. Great idea!
good for him. btw there is still time for the developer to extract a little more out of buyers before this whole house of cards comes tumbling down. airbnb revenue will barely make a dent in the initial 10-20% hit he’ll take just in the first year. hope he is comfy living in mom’s basement because he’ll be there for a while…
Why only 10-20%
Condos drop first and drop most.
Currently valued at 200-400% of fundamentals, depending on what you consider the fundamentals to be.
If this guy only gets fucked for 20% he should buy a lottery ticket because he is one lucky mother fucker.
that’s “initial” 10-20% hit…

Paul Robinson was visiting Singapore for business in mid-January and decided to drop by a sales and marketing “road show” for the opulent new condo tower, the Butterfly, to be built in downtown Vancouver
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/vancouver/vancouver-housing-the-view-fromsingapore/article37882051/
“…says he was encouraged by the salesman – who worked for a global real estate marketing company – to purchase a unit as a speculative investment, flipping the property before the building completes, thereby dodging taxes…”
“Let’s be real, this is what’s going on: For the last 30 years properties in Vancouver have been bought up by people who don’t earn money in Vancouver and don’t pay taxes in Canada – that’s how you can have the average home price get to 25 times the average income”
Hey, look at me mixing this bag of cement!

Your “debating” strategy is quite pathetic.
In a statement released hours after the government announcement, Andrew Weaver, leader of the B.C.

Non-permanent residents: Growing competition for local homes
As if competing for local real estate with each other, plus overseas investors, wasn’t enough, Vancouverites are also increasingly competing with non-permanent residents to buy homes, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
The federal housing agency released a report February 6 outlining the surge in the Canadian population – and corresponding rise in home ownership – of non-permanent residents (NPRs) such as work-permit holders and international students.
Isn’t it funny that in 2018 Canadians have to compete for housing with foreign students? Does this all make sense?
It sounds like a massive scam to make even more money for millionaire boomers and “investors”. And nobody points out in public that this is unacceptable. SAll looking the other way.
You better start thinking of a plan Just Me. Otherwise you gonna be left in the dumpsters.
We are officially Asia now with regards to accommodation. The landowners have won. They can collect ever increasing rent without reporting to CRA. Renters here are basically subjected to a lifetime of work with an ever lower standard of living due to rising rents.
Rents will worsen because the market will eventually expect 2 families to live in 2 bedroom condo. I’ve seen it in Asia and it will happen here. The floodgates of immigration are open here.
And the smug landowners will reap what they sow. With male culture pouring in from overseas, their wives and daughters will be hit on all the time.
Just Me knows cuts and pastes only, and awaits for the NDP to rescue her. She has no clue what else to do even though she had $65k in saving in 2015.
She could have stopped posting her long paragraphs, and concentrates on improving her life. She could ask her parents to teach her what self-reliance is.
+1. The women will fare the worst.
I’ve been telling you guys this for years.
Too late now. Millions have been given 10 yr visas. And to get one, you need a minimum net worth of $1 million.
They are releasing the info now because nothing can be done now. We have become Asia. The landowners and the renters. Renters in asia can never own and are subjected to a life of work.
Tell me how this is different.
“you need a minimum net worth of $1 million. ”
incorrect. but ironically that would be a good thing since it would exclude a large number of these visa holders.
My statement stands. Go ask any immigration consultant.
No difference.
“In the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), the share of mortgages being issued to NPRs was 3.9 per cent in 2016, up from 3.3 per cent in 2014”
Which means that 96.1 % of mortgages were issued to locals.
That’s 96% that can who can still pay these outrages prices
And who contribute 96% of force that is keeping this bubble afloat.
Through debt.
Yeah right. BS.
It’s recent immigrants bringing in loads of illicit Chinese money and buying multiple homes.
