Soft demand for homes and stubborn sellers has caused inventory levels in the Toronto area to edge up slightly over the past month
How ‘gentle density’ measures up to the hype as cities tackle Canada’s housing crisis theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Both banks told me the stop payment service on cheques expires after one year Because after a year, the cheque is stale-dated, so it shouldn't be cashed anyway But they both cashed the stale-dated cheques One would think banks would look at this and revisit their processes?

"The emphasis on increasing housing supply obscures an issue politicians are less likely to address. Namely, that we have become addicted to ever-rising home prices, largely because we've been conditioned to see our homes as financial assets." cbc.ca/news/business/…
New condo market in Toronto hits 15-year low: ‘It is dead’ "Buyers can find cheaper & larger condos that have already been built" Our new condo market was fueled by the speculative beliefs of investors As those beliefs die, so does our new condo market theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Asylum claims by international students have risen more than 1,500% in the past five years That's what happens when international students are promised that paying high 🇨🇦 tuition fees & being used as "cheap labour" is a fast track to citizenship theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

@daniel_foch The wealthiest 20% of Canadian households own 81% of the net worth of all real estate that’s not a primary residence. The distribution of wealth held in principal residences is also polarized, though less so. 🇨🇦's wealthiest 20% own 57% of the net worth of principal residences.
Do any tax experts know if the capital gains change will apply to RE transactions that firmed up after June 25 or with a closing date after June 25th? I would think the former, but the announcement sounds like it's the latter which would impact properties that have already sold
Two of the headings in the federal budget (out of hundreds): "Aligning Immigration With Housing Capacity" "Stabilizing International Student Intake to Alleviate Housing Pressures" Such a big change in rhetoric from Ottawa, compared to a year ago.
As of June 25, the inclusion rate on capital gains realized annually above $250K by individuals - and on all capital gains realized by corporations and trusts - will rise from 1/2 to 2/3 This will impact anyone who sells an investment property theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

Generational fairness you say? theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…
@JohnPasalis Begs the question then - if you have large amount cheques that you have placed a stop payment on, would it be worthwhile to subsequently shut down that bank account and pull your money, as a failsafe against future cashing? Seems so.
@RunBikeBbq @regionomics @HousingNowTO @JohnPasalis Yes-No rent control for anything built post 1992 (introduced by the Harris govt) until Wynne closed the loophole which the current government reintroduced for new builds once again a few years later (anything built approx post 2018). I’m too lazy to look up exact dates
@regionomics @HousingNowTO @JohnPasalis Ontario had no rent control on new builds from approx 1992 to 2016 and it didn't incentivize building PBRs at all. How do you explain that?
It’s the dirty little secret of housing policy - that the root of rapidly rising house prices is govts encouraging treating homeownership as an investment. And no government is willing to address it.

It will surprise exactly no one that I'm a huge fan boy of @TheAgenda, so being asked to go on and discuss our new report 'Billionaire Blindspot' was super exciting. Link to full report 👇 socialcapitalpartners.ca/scpreports
Is Canada measuring wealth accurately? "My report says... the top 0.1% own approximately 12% of all Canadian wealth versus what Statistics Canada's official data says, which would say about 3 to 4%," @DSkilleter (@SocialCP) tells @spaikin. At 8/11pm | Producer: @PreetiBhuyan
Dan has really been hitting it out of the park lately. The work at @SocialCP on this is some of the most important stuff right now. Especially right now as we begin to change how we tax.

Chaos. To recap, if you made a $500,000 capital gain on the sale of a cottage you would pay $133,825 in taxes under the previous inclusion rate (50%) and $156,129 under the new rate (66%), a difference of $22,304 more. On a one-time transaction. theglobeandmail.com/investing/pers…

I would nuance your comment by noting that *many* academics have questioned the LPC immigration agenda but have been ignored or hesitant to express their concerns publicly for fear of being deemed anti-immigrant or worse.
I would nuance your comment by noting that the vast majority of academics focussing on immigration and related issues have broadly supported the increases and largely, until recently, ignored the impacts on housing, healthcare and infrastructure #cdnimm
Where @mattlundy33 details how Ottawa & Cdn business have for years pushed #Canada’s temporary work-visa stream to completely subordinate both our skills-based immigration system and Canadian labour in order to bring in…more burger cooks and baristas. 🤦♂️ #cdnecon #cdnpoli
🧵 Here's an updated look at how employers are using the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. I thought companies would throttle back their use of TFWP because of rising unemployment, lots of int'l students already in Canada, etc. I was wrong. (1/9)
@Graff2023 @JohnPasalis When most of the urban pundit class was jawboning about upzoning and 4-plexes and city council red tape, John was one of the few raising the red flag that we could never build enough supply to meet our rapidly ballooning population. He was right.
@Graff2023 I agree. This was a good segment from @JohnPasalis. But then again, John always provides great analysis.
Good item from John Pasalis movesmartly.com/articles/how-c…
Housing market seems to have turned a few weeks ago. Pretty slow for April in what is usually prime spring selling season. Rate cut optimism fading…

@JohnPasalis [Toronto, ON] Opportunity appears? As condo unit pre-sales slow to almost nothing -- there are now "pre-zoned transit-oriented development sites" available that could convert from condo-ownership to new purpose-built rental (PBR) buildings, if the incentives for PBR make sense...
@JohnPasalis the economic fallout in the GTA will become a feedback loop - not sure folks understand that this is much more than a just future distortion in housing supply
