Homebuyers needed 25% down in 1985 compared to only 5% currently. Five-year fixed mortgage rates were 13.25% in 1985, versus 4.79% now. Canada’s house price-to-income ratio is the highest in the world – by a large margin.
In Ontario, the highest value-to-income ratio was in the Toronto CMA where property values were 5.7 times the income of owners. This ratio was higher in certain CSDs such as Markham and Richmond Hill where properties were valued around eight times owners’ income. The difference was greatest in British Columbia, where the median assessment value of properties bought by claimants was 30.9% lower.
Growth Peaked In The First Quarter of 2016
I personally don’t think we should allow further foreign investment. Local owners have already profited wildly as your example in the Annex has shown. Not allowing foreign capital won’t tank your equity value and it will put a cap on the rampant annual year-over-year gains.
The higher the ratio, the worse income is doing compared to house price growth. Lower ratios are more likely to support home prices, since incomes can more easily carry them. Generally high ratios are only seen in bubbles and developing nations. The analysis in Section 1 is restricted to individuals who filed non-negative and non-zero income in their T1 tax return form in 2017. This section includes single-property and multiple-property owners.

Co-ownership patterns of claimants also varied by property type where more than half who bought a condominium apartment were the sole owners. Residential properties owned by the bottom 20% income earners had the highest property value-to-income ratio of 32.3 in the Vancouver CMA. I bought a crap townhouse in Sarnia Ontario south end, where I couldn’t sleep half the time because of flare stacks and shunting trains smashing together at 3AM. We are in a weird spot that there are jobs everywhere in towns and cities throughout Canada, many being quite affordable.
Category 2 is coloured medium blue and represents ratios between 4.7 and 6.2. Category 3 is coloured indigo and represents ratios between 6.2 and 9.2. Category 4 is coloured medium purple and represents ratios between 9.2 and 14.1. Category 5 is coloured dark purple and represents value-to-income ratios between 14.1 and 20.5.
Home price to income ratio, for the selected location
We are only showing regions where we determined, using our judgement, there is a reasonably adequate match. This visualization compares individuals' income to the Home Price Index benchmark prices for each type of home. Likely, home prices will flatten out for possibly several years, allowing incomes to gradually make up some of the ground lost. The dizzying pace of home price growth in the past several months is “quite unusual and it’s certainly unsustainable in the long run,” says Guatieri. But even stress-tested homeowners might feel the pinch from higher borrowing costs, Petramala says.
The first section focuses on individual tax filers in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia, and performs a comparative analysis of residential property ownersNoteto tax filers who did not own any residential property. The focus on owners continues with an analysis of single-property owners who claimed the HBA in 2017 for their first residential property purchase. Following this analysis, the second section compares owner incomeNote at the property level to property assessment values to shed light on owner demographics and property characteristics. This article includes residential properties sold in a market sale from January 1 to December 31, 2018, purchased by individual resident buyers.

Claimants were more likely to live in the higher valued Halifax CMA and own newer and larger properties than owners who did not claim the amount. Claimants of the HBA earned higher income with 97.9% being employed in 2017 compared to less than three-quarters of all other owners who did not claim the HBA. Both the median income of claimants and the income gap between claimants and owners who did not claim the HBA (30.2%) were highest in British Columbia. HBA claimants represented around one percent of all single-property owners in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia in 2018.
It’ll allow the market to slowly re-balance to local incomes which is what housing should be. Then RE investments will return to what they have historically been, income generating assets. At the moment, they’re speculative investments for capital gains.
This three-part series examined the characteristics of home buyers and the properties they purchased from January 1 to December 31, 2018, with a focus on Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and British Columbia. In the Vancouver census metropolitan area , the median PIR was 7.4, considerably higher than the Halifax and Moncton CMAs, where the PIRs were less than 3. Additionally, as shown in Map 1, census subdivisions that are closer to the core of the largest CMAs had a higher median PIR compared with CSDs that were farther from the cores in both British Columbia and Nova Scotia. Paul…all I hear is blah blah from you…if I can get a penny for housing market crash in last 15 years I will be billionaire by now…please tell us when it will happen…I am sitting with money to invest.
It found that a rent increase of as little as $100 per month would send a family out onto the street. Remember, you don’t make money in real estate until you sell….so have fun watching your “equity” evaporate every day…. Michelle Delgado is a writer and research analyst at Clever Real Estate. She specializes in publishing data-driven reports on real estate trends and researching emerging home buying and selling models such as iBuyers. Nearly 90% of major metros have a house-price-to-income ratio that exceeds the maximum recommended ratio of 2.6.
The risk of a housing bust is higher in some of the smaller communities that have seen steep price appreciation, Moffatt says. And “if families are house poor … that’s money that they’re not spending on restaurants and vacations and in stores,” says Mike Moffatt, senior director of policy and innovation at the Smart Prosperity Institute. “Households are more sensitive than they ever have been in the past to even small increases in interest rates,” Petramala says. “In large part, the frenzy we’re seeing in buying can be explained by low interest rates,” she says.
