Nicole Foss and Garth Turner are voices of reason and are on the money on this.
Just read Maclean's magazine edition of March 5, 2012 on the upcoming Canadian Real estate
Crisis. Canadian Business had a similar story from a magazine (of January 2012).
Simply put, Canadians are over their heads in debt, and there is a massive bubble in Vancouver, and Toronto. Big bubbles exist in Calgary, Saskatoon, Kelowna, and many other cities and towns coast to coast. There will be a crash, no doubt about it

@jimbobubbadj There are places in the world with even greater real estate prices relative to income. In Europe mortgages are financed over "GENERATIONS. Yes you can a million dollar mortgage on a 100 thousand dollar income and they have been doing it for decades. I would like to see a correction in values in Vancouver but if capital continues to pour in that wont happen. It will be as expensive as Paris or London or New York city core areas.

@tindallpe Seems like the Dutch tulip mania of 1637.

@tindallpe "Consumer debt is a reaction to a sense of security whether true or false" This puts people in a worse situation.

@tindallpe "Vancouver is unique because of the Chinese invasion". China is having its problems too. How much longer they will be able to pay the mortgage on $600,000 homes is questionable. If instead they plan on renting them, how will they recoup their money? Who will be able to afford to pay the rent to make this "investment" worthwhile?

@tindallpe "she seems to have left out the possibility of a US stabilization and recovery" because the USA is a debtor nation. It consumes much much more than it produces. The USA empire is on the decline. Best to put your fortunes elsewhere.

There's a little word I'd like you to look up in on Investopedia, it's called a FUNDAMENTAL.

Only problem is that when those interest rates start to return to their historic norms then every economy in the world will be flattened.
