If your banks are lowering lending standards, and via the prime rate making artificially low interest rates (say less than 4%) Canada is blowing a bubble in their housing valuations. . |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 17152779 United States 02/15/2013 10:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A U.S. housing crash can't happen in Canada because they are different countries. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17152779 you know what the title means. a US style crash just won't happen in Canada. Styles don't crash in the U.S., they just get recycled into postmodern kitsch. I think Canadians have good style, it's just more understated. |

crooks User ID: 34030762 Canada 02/15/2013 10:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it has not crashed. some prices have softened. the average home is still close to $900K in Vancouver area. it will never crash. it may soften up a bit. i read today prices are going up even with sales slow. buyers have pulled their properties off the market. Hehe, keep praying bitch! It is already down from the peak, canadians are broke and the ownership percentage is through the roof (higher than the US before the crash) which means no more new buyers. It will take a few months before sellers realize they need to drop the prices hard and a new recession in 2013 will make sure that happens as the US gdp is contracting again and so is Europe's. Don't worry, be happy! |

Don't worry, be happy! yeah, people just like you have said that for years. just google ' canada - housing bubble' and you'll see repsonses similar to yours going back years. yet no crash. sellers are not desperate to sell. they have pulled their properties off the market as they can wait it out or rent out their second properties. it just different up here than what happened in the US. prices are NOT coming down in the major cities. in fact, i read today, they are increasing. albeit, at a much slower rate than previous year. |

I don't know if the bankers were any smarter. From the sound of things it was the mortgage companies in the US that did the most damage. They were the ones giving mortgages to illegal alien fruit pickers and then selling them as fast as they could in bundles. It wasn't the banks so much. The banks were buying all that shit and trading it, but they weren't the ones doing it so much. In Canada there must not have been much of a market for mortgage bundles. If there was, sleazy jew fuckers would have been selling them here. It may be that because we didn't have an equivalent to MERS, it made the whole scam much more difficult to pull off so they never tried on a large scale. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 34502686 Canada 02/15/2013 11:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, I've owned 4 houses in Canada. It is just as overpriced there also. The crash will also happen there. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33298613 It's different here. Canada knew what it was doing. Also, lots of foreign investors. That's nothing to be proud of. Foreign investors siphon wealth out of this country. That's the reason why as rich as this nation is in raw materials and factory square footage, the average Canadian has a lower standard of living than he did in the 1980's. If every time your economy generates a new dollar in wealth and some foreign fuck takes it out of your country, you have gained nothing. We would have been better off printing lots of our own money and lending it to Canadians who wanted to build new factories and open new mines. Then all the wealth stays here. Instead we took a few easy Chink and Yank pennies in initial investment and watch as billions piss their way off all over the world. Canadians are smart, no, they're incredibly stupid. |
