@Quartz482 I totally agree with everything you just said. Still doesn't mean your housing market is not a bubble. Your government is certainly better than ours, and your stock exchange is better regulated, but your housing market is suffering from classic hot-money and follow the leader mentality. Not supported by the peoples salaries and not regulated by the government.
@Quartz482 I remember the same type of gloating in SoCal before I left, now people are putting bullets in their head when the bank takes the house. And those gloaters are all crying for governement bailouts and whining about how they aren't being helped by the banks. Your wealth is imaginary, unless you sell it now. You will be truely surprised how quickly a million dollars in paper money can be gone.
I have to say good luck from someone further down the coast. I live in the bay area of California and three years after the pop; the housing market is like a zombie propped up by east asian investors, shadow inventory and deluded sellers. All hidden being the mask of desirability's and a glamor IT industry that contributes far fewer jobs than is said. Ya know, just like Vancouver. Only thing is the that you guys might get it right as the Chinese bubble pops. What a crash!
@Quartz482 Yeah I remember the morons in America saying the same bs about their housing market (just before it went belly up in 2008). I don't care how many Chinese play hot potato with the Vancouver housing market, it is not healthy for Canada and certainly not sustainable by any stretch of the imagination. I don't have to buy a 500 dollar p sqf house, I'll rent until the bubble goes POP and be happy.
Wealthy mainland Chinese Immigrants will take place so Vancouver RE will prosper for this century.Vancouver will rely on Chinese Navy against US aggression.
