Yes, I'm sure no one ever considered stealing money from a bank, or driving off with a whole ATM, before oil prices got low... :rolleyes:

Like I said, even the most insane housing bull couldn't have predicted this outcome when this thread was started 3 years ago. If the 'crash' ever does manifest... at best it'll roll us back to the already-inflated prices of three years ago.

How can you honestly put a figure on the bottom of the RE market? I'm curious how you are coming to the conclusion that we will only roll back to 2012/2013 prices.

I'm not "putting a figure" on it, but it is a probability distribution that I'm attempting to see the shape of. I find the 2012/2013 pricing scenario shockingly unlikely, never mind anything less. This is housing we're talking about. The Feds will [even further] annihilate the currency if that's what's necessary to keep nominal housing values intact/rising.

My totally worthless housing bubble prediction:
House prices will finally hit some insane peak and then begin to drop, but not more than a few years worth of losses. At this point people go go buying crazy thinking "Now's the perfect time to buy! This is Vancouver, just like oil prices they can only go up in the long run!" and that will feed a little recovery and spawn a million articles about how the correction is over and we're back to the new normal. Prices will go up a tiny bit or stagnant, then some minor shock to the economy will send them down again. Woah prices are down, perfect time to buy! This is VANCOUVER after all, very desirable place to invest.

This cycle will go on for a long time averaging out stagnant prices or a small drop that doesn't keep pace with inflation. "Vancouver prices always go up" and "Vancouver is an extremely good place to buy" are just too deeply culturally ingrained in generations of idiot true-believer buyers.

Also during this time the city/region will get desperate for a solution to the pattern. Do we have too many barriers to rich chinese?? Have we taxed our developers to death? We need a new mayor! Someone needs to DO SOMETHING. The norm is 7% gains per year, this is intrinsic to the city of Vancouver, anything less must mean some sort of sabotage, corruption, or mismanagement.

People are feeding and sheltering them selves based entirely around property values. It's like people putting all their money into investing into food companies then complaining the price of food is too high, no one has enough to eat, our kids are starving, but don't you loving do anything to lower my food equity otherwise I won't have any money to buy food when I retire!

By turning housing into an investment, the primary retirement investment for most people, we've created a situation that's impossible to solve without a bunch of ruined boomers or some sort of FULL COMMUNISM government housing system.

The banks in polar bear land have started using a max loan cap of 5xAnnual income (500%) which seems to have slowed down the market despite an (again) lowered central interest rate to -0.5%. Around 10% of new mortgages are being denied. Of course, the banks are spinning the effectiveness of this measure to the maximum in media to avoid having the government come in and meddle in their mortgage fracking operation.

Could get interesting if we've reached the peak of available loans for the average Sven. Maybe all it would take to tip over is a rate hike for some external reason (the resource and metal sector is feeling the burn from Chinapocalypse but that might take awhile to play out and affect the greater economy).

Or things will just start right up again when the weather/daylight hours get better.

Only 10% of mortgage applications are for > 5x annual income (presumably gross)? Some kind of financial responsibility fairy tale there.

De svenska hushållens aggregerade skuldkvot (Dti, Debt-to-income), det vill säga deras totala skulder i relation till deras totala disponibla inkomster

The amount of money a household has left to spend and save after income tax is deducted.
For example, let's say your household's annual income is SEK 1 000 000 of wages, and you pay an income tax of 35% (it had in reality been considerably higher). In that case, your disposable income is SEK 650 000 per year.

quote:

Enligt Finansinspektionen har nästan 30 procent av de svenska bolånetagarna en skuldkvot på 450 procent eller mer av inkomsten
30% of households have 450% or more.

quote:

Högst skuldkvot har i dag hushåll i Stockholm, där den i genomsnitt var 482 procent förra året.
482% average DTI in our fair capitol.



Y is DTI (skuldkvot), X is % of their homes value that they owe (belåningsgrad). The total % of people that fall into each DTI bracket can be seen under "Totalt". I like the portion with 700%+, and this is from 2014.

self-deprecation is a very british trait, and problems can arise when the british attempt to do so with a foreign culture





the us collapse happened because people's mortgages started resetting to rates home owners couldn't afford. that isn't going to happen here until interest rates spike, and even then it'll take years before people start feeling the pain when they have to reup their mortgage

it's going to be a long, slow decline when foreign money dries up. vancouver might just become a town where it's totally normal to spend 60% of your net income on housing depending on how willing the banks are to underwrite

There are ETFs specifically for shorting REITs and some real estate indices:

I've no idea how the reverse/short ETFs work but that's one way.
