Canadians' average debt load now up to $22,081, 3.6% rise since last year. Total consumer debt load now at more than $1.7 trillion.

quote:

But while the average is rising, that figure belies an interesting paradox: Many people owe nothing at all, but those who do are borrowing more and more.

"The majority of consumers are actually decreasing their debt," said Equifax's senior director, Regina Malina, "but those who are still increasing it are adding larger amounts on average and by enough to increase the total levels.

How can I get out of this crushing consumer debt? I know! I'll spend my way out!

What Toronto’s real estate market will be like in 50 years

The average home will cost $4.4 million
Current average: $622,000
Yes, you read that right. And yes, it sounds crazy. But if we’d told people in 1970 that the average cost of a house in Toronto would grow from $30,000 to $600,000 over 50-odd years, they wouldn’t have believed us either. Over the past few decades, housing costs in Toronto have risen by an average of 3.5 per cent every year. If demand for housing keeps growing—and it will, since the population is expected to double—so will the prices. The upshot? Toronto will become a city of renters, and home ownership a luxury reserved for our plutocratic overlords.

Let it be all the best.

I have such a deep distrust for Realtors and the RE industry as a whole I'm not sure how I'd make it through the home buying process - I don't think I'd believe a single fact or figure an agent utters.

This just proves that keeping the client in the dark is one of the major reasons for bidding wars and price escalation and TREB wants to keep it that way.

"Tiny Trains"

I know a guy in a smaller city in the US who owned most of his block. His big house, a huge detached garage, his business, a storage/workshop building he leased out to another company, and a big bunch of vacant land. There was an old little turn of the century 3 story apartment building on the block though that had "ghetto" people in it. He didn't like those people near him, specially because they kept causing trouble on his property, breaking into his business and so on. So he bought the apartment building, looked into restoring it and found it would be a money pit, and tore the thing down.

He probably still couldn't buy a single house in vancouver or toronto even if he sold off his entire block in random fly over state small city though.

A modest, wartime, two-bedroom home in Windsor generated a “record” 31 offers, and sold for about $25,000 above the asking price this week, indicating that frigid temperatures were not cooling down the region’s sizzling real estate market.

“It’s amazing,” said Manor Realty sales representative Kimberly Miller, who along with husband Alan Saad, represented the seller. “We’ve asked other agents in Windsor, some with more than 40 years experience, and the highest number they had heard of was 20 offers this summer in South Windsor. So, we’re assuming 31 offers is a record.”

While the bulk of offers for the house on Labadie Road were local, the winning bid was an unconditional, cash offer from a former Windsor resident, planning to return to the city from Calgary, said Miller. “The seller got everything she asked for, including her choice of closing date. There are no conditions for financing or home inspection.”

With an asking price of $139,900, the house was listed Nov. 28, and sold five days later on Dec. 3, added Saad.

Bill Gross says Canada's housing market is growing ‘more tenuous’

Legendary bond fund manager Bill Gross is warning the state of the Canadian housing market has weakened in recent years, but says the domestic market isn’t headed to a U.S.-style housing crash.
In an interview on BNN, Gross said housing market stability has deteriorated over the course of the last decade, as prices in Vancouver and Toronto skyrocketed.
“The housing market in Canada is a little more tenuous than it was 10 years ago when Canadian housing and Canadian banks were the pinnacle of global banking,” he said Wednesday. “These days there’s a little more risk in housing.”
Gross said those more vulnerable conditions should continue to be an area of focus for Stephen Poloz and the Bank of Canada, as low interest rates have exacerbated some risks in the housing market.
“A central bank has to be aware and has to consider, in terms of interest rate policy, the potential for weakening housing prices,” said Gross, portfolio manager at Janus Capital Group. “Not a replay of Lehman [Brothers], but certainly Canada is a little more tenuous, housing-wise, than it was 10 years ago.”
Gross was also recently named manager of National Bank Investments’ Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund.

LOL that's almost 20% above asking price. But to be fair maybe the RE agent just sucked and asked for less than market value. It is Windsor after all.

quote:


The Bank of Canada is holding its benchmark interest rate at 0.5 per cent as economic conditions move along largely in line with its expectations.
In making the scheduled announcement Wednesday, the central bank said while the global economy has strengthened, persistent international uncertainty has continued to have a negative effect on business confidence and investment among Canada’s trading partners.
The bank said in a statement that Canada’s growth performance had also been close to its expectations, including a strong rebound in the third quarter. It repeated its prediction that Canada would see “more-moderate growth” over the final three months of 2016.
However, it said Canadian inflation, which the bank carefully analyzes when making rate decisions, was slightly below what it had anticipated, in large part because of lower food prices.
In a closer analysis of economic conditions, the bank also made a point of highlighting recent steps taken by the federal government in an effort to help boost growth.
“Consumption growth was robust in the third quarter, supported by the new Canada Child Benefit, while the effects of federal infrastructure spending are not yet evident in the (gross domestic product) data,” the bank said its brief, one-page statement.
“Meanwhile, business investment and non-energy goods exports continue to disappoint.”
The bank also said Canada saw gains in employment, but that considerable economic slack remained present when compared to the United States. It also predicted the recent tightening of financing rules for real estate would help slow the continued rise in Canadian household debt.

The decision to maintain the rate was widely anticipated by experts and came ahead of an announcement next week by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is expected to raise its key interest rate.
Last week, Poloz addressed how the bank views the uncertainty following the U.S. election. He said it was too soon for the central bank to factor president-elect Donald Trump’s election win into its decision making.
This was the bank’s final rate announcement for 2016. Its next decision, which will be accompanied by fresh economic projections, is scheduled for Jan. 17.
In October, the Bank of Canada downgraded its growth outlook and governor Stephen Poloz said its governing council actively discussed cutting the key rate before deciding to keep it on hold.
Last week, a data release showed the Canadian economy had slightly exceeded expectations in the third quarter to grow at its fastest pace in more than two years.
That increase in real gross domestic product by 3.5 per cent marked a rebound from a second-quarter contraction.
Experts had long predicted the economy to bounce back from the second-quarter slump, which was largely due to oil-production shutdowns linked to May’s Alberta wildfires and scheduled maintenance at oilsands facilities.

There are a lot of people that did this in the inner suburbs around toronto in the downsview/ western 401 areas. Construction workers that bought 3-4 acres when the neighbourhoods were mostly empty land then developed them over the course of 40 years and they're multi millionaires now. Some still buy any neighbours houses when they go up for sale then demolish and redevelop the lots.

People hear stories of how much money there is to be made doing this stuff then try and get in on it and don't realize the special circumstances surrounding it. Like, if you bought the empty lot for 5,000 dollars in 1975 yeah you'll make money building a house on it. If you buy it for 1,000,000 today maybe not so much.
