I'm not going to lie I'm totally rooting for the most massive, largest, painful, RE correction in history for the simple reason that Canada will be affordable again and my children can own a home with a family and have the same opportunity I did. Con't........

@JohnPasalis Of course we are going to sell a TON of distressed sellers in 2023, but it's not going to happen five minutes after the last rate hike. It will bleed into 2024++ People don't throw in the towel after a month or two. Housing prices in USA peaked in 2007, fire sale in 2011/12.

@ShaziGoalie I'm secretly rooting on a major collapse/RESET in Canada which I believe is coming. Without this, Canada is not a place to reside IMO. My kids will not do everything right to get educated and work hard, only to be set up for failure for a system who has catered to fraud/scams.

@KingKong9888 70-80% is not possible in our two biggest cities. Maybe in some other pockets would take mass foreclosures and high unemployment/emigration. And I believe Vegas already crapped its pants over this prediction - are these just guesses? Based on?

The saddest part about this is they are now trapped. The house has depreciated quite extensively since 2022 and fees to sell on homes this high are substantial. This is a repeater of what happened to homeowners in the GFC. Lets home the outcome is better for the country.

@Bratt_world @MarketManiaCa It means if you started out your mortgage with 25 years, the rates went up substantially and now your life span of your mortgage is going up. So unless you increase your payment to cover the additional interest owed, you will now be paying for 30+++++ years instead of 25.
