The stats I heard in university were that on average half the households in Canada buy a new house every five years. So there aren't really all that many people holding onto houses for 20 years.

It's more E/N than real estate really. His wife's desire to get out is the primary driving force. No adult woman wants to live within an earshot of her parents in law and be indebted to them. She might not phrase it directly and use other reasons that she thinks might appeal to him to convince him. He's perfectly happy to live as is and resistant to change. As a defence mechanism he constructed a one true condo dream that has to fit all the parameters of a perfect place before he even considers to move. Deep down it bothers him so he seeks validation of his choice by repeatedly asking this same question on SA about his "special unique situation". A solution here is to figure out how much you can afford to spend on rent and start looking at good condos in that range. In the worst case you'll make her happy, in the best case you'll find something that you both like.

man thats gross posted:Can someone here explain what, if anything, I'm missing here? Are the "to rent" and "to buy" areas exactly the same? Wouldn't rent in the areas of Toronto with $400k houses be lower as well? By stretching your suitability criteria for homeownership you might regret the neighbourhood choice a lot sooner than ten years.

Yes, the mortgage insurance premiums that you pay on top of your mortgage(with interest) are only used to cover lender shortfall in case of default. That's why we have such lax lending standards here.

Getting a mortgage during the collapse might be a tad difficult so you'd better have some substantial cash saved. Also most people are not contrarian.

Lexicon posted:Even "four out of six" is ludicrous. If someone is intending to make Canada their new home, it would hardly be unreasonable to demand that they be physically present for a large majority of the time in each of those years. They should pay for the citizenship in beaver pelts and take the test in French. Also got to be white or catholic.

McGavin posted:You live in the city of Vancouver, the Be MLS.ca is a website of the realtor(TM) association were you can find information about it. Multiple listings of real estate for sale now go on realtor.ca website because that clearly is the best way to separate two functions of the realtor(TM) service and not a brain dead marketing decision.

The naive solution would be to keep the primary residency mortgage rates low and to raise secondary and corporate owned residential mortgages to double or triple rate. I’m sure people would figure out quickly how to game the system but in the meantime there might be an increase in supply favouring first time buyers.
