Sales in Vancouver, Victoria, the Fraser Valley, Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, London and Niagara are now seeing a ratio of sales to listings close to 0.40, which Hogue calls the threshold where buyers have more “sway on prices.” Home sales and prices have fallen this year as rising interest rates have increased the cost of borrowing for Canadians.

The country’s big banks have raised their interest rates as the Bank of Canada has raised its key interest rate seven times since March in an effort to bring inflation under control.

Ontario and British Columbia headed for a buyer's market, RBC says - BNN BloombergA new report says high interest rates will continue to hold back homebuyers into the new year except in Ontario and British Columbia. Lots of that cash is coming from illegal sources, laundering narcotics proceeds etc. Also, there's an initiative to just displace Canadians, buy houses leave em empty causing social distress. Housing is a fraud riddled market that's completely ignored as a fault. I hope this will lower my property tax
