Just wait 8-9 months and you can get a house in Toronto for free, or wait a year and people will pay YOU to own a house!

An average single-family home in the city of Toronto went for $1.191 million in August, the city's real estate board reported Wednesday


I think they'll be fine.

Good houses in the GTA area are $700'000 to over 2 million.

It's been unaffordable to live in the area for years.

Yup, and that'll screw over the people looking to flip (HGTV) and folks with just bad timing, but longterm owners will be fine as the market will recover and rebound over the span of years.

Can't find anyone to buy them - there's barely anyone even living here, there's rows and rows of giant, empty properties everywhere you turn.

All depends on the market, but the housing market has recovered in many places, particularly in wealthier regions not centered around bubble housing growth. For established cities like Toronto, they're guaranteed still have growth as the economic center of Canada. They'll be fine within 2-3 years.

Too expensive? House prices are dropping $100,000 a MONTH! Even those $1.2M detached homes in the nice area of the city will be ZERO dollars in a year!

They won't become worthless with a value of 0 $ , they will keep falling until people start buying again but they won't hit 0 that's just stupid
Leveling off anywhere between 100K-500K, but this was long overdue for Canada cause housing prices were pretty fucking stupid

Don't be ridiculous. There's going to be rows and rows of vacant properties, you can just walk into them and take them for free
joe_stalin518 2 weeks ago#25
They will keep lowering the prices til people start buying again, Canada is a good place to live.people want the house but can't afford over a million not everyone is a 30+ year surgeon , they will fall into around the 250 k-700 K depending on location, once it hits the spot where people making normal college salaries 60K-150 K the people will start buying again . If you want free property your going to have to take a piece of Detroit and deal with any/all bull shit that happens like poison water, dead body's in a striped car on blocks that was abandoned on your parcel of land arson if you have a dwelling on the parcel .

By browsing Google Street maps in Toronto for a bit, a lot of the houses don't really look all that impressive for an average of $1M. Not sure how average salaries are there. 

They should just sell their house and move to Texas, Louisiana, etc. $500,000 will get you a gorgeous new home. 3-4 bedrooms, brand new, nice neighborhood, etc.

Detroit. You can buy a house for 5k but it's completely trashed, you're the only one on the block, and the area is virtually unlivable. 

I'd like to see a reality show where someone transforms it into a secured fortress and attempts to live there.

GTA has a growing tech industry with big companies like AMD, Sony, ASUS, and IBM established there. It's an attractive area for people to work and raise a family

Hell yeah it is! There are rows upon rows of empty vacant houses in Toronto being sold for under $100,000. The government is so desperate to get rid of these properties that they're actually giving you tax breaks and other incentives for buying them.

Mostly in Vancouver and Toronto, but housing bubbles burst. The governments of those areas took steps to deliberately deflate it because an outright pop is painful for anyone who does own a house there. It's got little to do with Canada's economy, which has been improving over the past year.

This is what I was talking about when I said these huge city bubbles are prone to popping once anything happens to cut investor/speculator interest down. Hadn't counted on government action intentionally popping it though.

Absolutely - they'll be begging you to take it. They'll pay you any amount of money to grab these unwanted properties.

Housing is redicoulous in Toronto but I still wouldn't call it a bubble bursting just yet. The market is still correcting itself.

Eh, it's not really the market correcting itself if it's being impacted by a foreign buyer tax. As I mentioned before, it's more of a deliberate deflation of a bubble by the government before it can burst.

    Yeah you know, those slow-popping bubbles. Fucking hated when my mom got me slow pop bubbles as a kid. I'd blow one then have to wait like a half hour while it popped.
