Out of province money doesn’t explain why Toronto is even more bonkers than here. No one there is making any more money either.

So perhaps what we seen retail wise in the first few months of lockdown/wfh?
People think they have a bunch more extra money since they're not commuting/lunching etc so spend on stuff they wouldn't usually? Like being able to afford a few hundred extra per month on a mortgage without considering the actual total cost?
That's as good a guess as any.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think the bulk of savings comes from declining child care. I've paid >$3k per month for that and if it was a different time and we were in a different position and we were short term thinking morons, we could "save that money" and let iPads raise our kids while we WfH. That's a convertible Jaguar and an extra $700k of house.
What could go wrong?
We did calculate that the wife is better off working PT/Casual than us paying for childcare and her going back to FT. Although she works in a "living wage" position, I'd imagine it would be a little different if she was in another profession.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I heard more leverage is better. It enables everyone to invest more and the return from your investments will cover the cost of your mortgage so house price is irrelevant. It’s basically free money.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I work for one of the largest home builders and this situation is getting rediculous. The buyers are like 95% east indian, all referred here by realtors that are putting on investment seminars in Ontario or through tik-tok investors. Totally fucking any local buyers now. Some are moving here too but I constant get calls from realtors wanting 5-15 lots at a time.

People who have real estate as an investment should be really careful in this frothy market. People own one house and live in it can calm the fuck down, turn off facebook and sleep easy
