Eventually companies will own homes and rent them out cause the average worker can't afford a house.

Next 5-20 years is going to be crucial.

Home prices will go up and up.

Average house in Toronto will be like 4 million in 20 years.

My house in cottage country 6 years ago was in the $200K range now could sell for $600-700K.

Do the math.

It isn't quite at the "can't afford homes" yet but there's gigantic companies that this is all they do. Buy complexes and rent it out or buy land and build a complex.

These companies are the ones I will agree with when people say "landlords are bad".

Not really here in Canada. I've spoken to a few real estate agents and they said if prices go down due to the bubble it won't be a large amount.

Man that sucks, hope someone fixes it

My prediction is more people will move to the GTA tbh.

A small 900sqft home is going for $400K.

Nothing will be "fixed" since construction companies are making money and so are real estate companies. The same goes for America pretty much.

Yeah I remember when you can get a good house here for $120k. Regular ass houses will be or already is a million in popular places.

no need to live in the most crowded cities though, I had a new house built sort of in the mountains but it's only ~20 mins from the city (quebec, canada) and I've got ~5000 square feet for ~700k

so you can easily have a 2500sqft home over here for 350-400k instead of just 900sqft

bah I think we can safely assume that inflation has already started to hit us and it's just the beginning, it was inevitable but Covid is definitely accelerating that a lot

The housing bubble wont burst because nobody is building new affordable homes. The only things getting built you can buy are mansions, condos and townhouses.

You want a nice little house for your family you are competing with a hundred buyers, you got no chance.

Problem with that is lack of internet or low speed. I live in a small town which isn't that busy. Closet city is 1 hour drive away.

6 years ago that 900sqft home would be going for about $90-120K. Not to mention property tax on a home now worth a million is more than $100K worth home.

In like 6 more years my house will be selling for a million if I sell. I might take a small home equity loan and either buy a 2nd home somewhere in America or Mexico or put the money in stocks.

Right, it's all about location. I bought a 950 SF place that cost me just a smidge shy of 100K. It also is two apartments already split up which allows for rental income.

Although I know there's people who don't really have a choice but to try to live in the city.

Yeah you make an offer and someone easily out bids you. I read an article the other day someone in Hamilton who had the highest bid didn't even get the house. Real estate agents were pressuring them to go in even higher being shady and they lost the deal.

I could move about half hour north from where I am and get a home built. In total it'd be about $600K which includes buying the land.

Many people in the GTA rent out their basements or the house has multi family living there cause 2 people alone struggle to afford it. Not to mention car insurance is like $300 for an average person or something.

yeah some people do have no choice because of their job but it seems what Covid has done is force companies into setting up work from home stuff so I think they're going to stick with it if it reduces costs, like if their employees are doing the work they need to do from home and you don't need to rent office space it's pretty good for the company and allow people for more freedom as to where they want to live
