    After selling a couple homes in 2020, I'm anticipating a housing crisis in order to buy inexpensively. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What recommendations do you have for the best time to buy? On the one hand, I keep reading and seeing trader earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?

      Given that we are not accustomed to such uncertain markets, the fact that the US stock market has been on its longest bull run ever makes the widespread anxiety and excitement comprehensible. There are opportunities if you know where to go, as you noted that it wasn't difficult for me to earn more than $780k in the previous 10 months. Since I was aware that I would need a reliable and strong plan to get through these tough times, I engaged a portfolio advisor.

    A 5 year example.
    In 2017 you bought (or your house was worth) - say $500k
    In 2022 (March) it was worth $925k after the big bubble peaked.
    It increased by $425k = 85% = 13% compounded for 5 years. Mostly in 2020 and 2021.
    You are a real estate genius! Refinance fast ! Buy investment properties and get rich! Fill your boots with adjustable rate cheap debt.
    BUT - If that same house had increased 3% a year for 5 years it would be worth $580k after 5 years.
    AND NOW = If the market falls by 38% from the 2022 peak then that $925k value will become $580k.
    Yep. Drop of $340k from $925k is drop of 38%.

Once job loss and recession kicks in things will change, defaults will creep in. MSM will not report on it. This will be a 2-4 year issue. Rates will be up for a few years defaults will happen. We have to watch the renewals it’ll all be there - ask your banker what’s going on. I was speaking with my banker the other day an she said it’s already very scary for renewals. Mortgages going up $1000 plus per month.

    Building _upwards_ while halting expansion _outwards_ causes home prices and rents to skyrocket, shunting the lifetime earnings of residents squarely into the pockets of the chosen few. Those most affected cheer each time another tract of land is "protected" tightening the snare on their own demise. A quarter million homeless in Canada with 1000 deaths each month. A major issue in this country is the vast expanse between cities, but no land may be spared for housing. Organized protest in an effort to save a grove of trees meets each attempted use of land, yet forest extends all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast.

    This artificially created land shortage serves the purpose of financial institutions, but costs consumers from five to above twenty times the normal price of a home. For each $100,000 of market price, if land is $20,000 and the building is $80,000 lenders will not advance funds beyond the value of the indestructible portion, which is the land, itself. A deliberately restricted supply caused prices to skyrocket with the cost of the building and the cost of land exchanging places in the equation. Now, for each $100,000 spent on a home the building accounts for $20,000 of the purchase price and land makes up the remainder, which is $80,000. Banks lend an amount that matches the indestructible portion of the acquisition, which is land. In an ironical twist this arrangement enables buyers to finance their purchase by paying several times the normal cost of a home.

    Canada produces cereal crops and livestock that are its staples, which are grown some distance from cities. We have highways and railways to haul in these products. This country also produces some fruit and vegetables during a relatively short growing season. The reality is that 95% of the food that we consume arrives from or through the USA. Major retailers are not going to snub reliable suppliers in order to acquire local produce for a few weeks each year. That has not kept land from being declared "agricultural" in an effort to prevent its use for housing and that has inspired movements to place a halt on the use of _all_ land. In order to save land for agriculture, forest land should be made available on which to construct homes. Legislation and regulations have severely restricted the home building and home improvement industries, the two industries for which we are admirably suited with our abundance of land, lumber, stone, minerals and other material. We have skyrocketing property prices preventing people from becoming established and a growing gulf between property owners and the remainder that cannot be bridged with any amount of effort.

    Housing has been turned into an unregulated financial paper market, with public officials that personally benefit at the expense of citizens, setting conditions to constrain supply that results in skyrocketing prices, with rent at maximum levels and home ownership beyond reach.


    *Footnotes:*

    ¹ A result of this cunning _sleight of hand_ is that purchasers make a down payment of $200,000 and finance the remaining $800,000 for a home that should only cost $200,000 to begin with if it were not for a deliberately restricted supply that caused prices to escalate to absurd levels.

    ² Cities were built on fertile flood plains at the confluence of rivers. Halting use of land beyond these areas that were developed a century earlier does nothing to enhance agricultural production, while astronomical price levels make this land unfeasible for growing crops.

    ³ Average price of a home in Vancouver in 1969 was $23,939. In Winnipeg $13,588. That equals $23,939/$7284 = 3.3 years salary in Vancouver of a new degree holder or $13,588/$7284 = 1.9 years salary in Winnipeg.

    ¹³ Civic governments reap a bonanza from inflated property assessments.

    Be careful when you mention the big bubble in Canada housing market.
    The big housing bubble is located in two cities: Toronto and Vancouver. These 2 cities represent only 24% of Canada population.
    Contrary to the USA and Europe where people budget are crushed with high utility costs. In Canada electricity and gas are very cheap.
    Canadian banks cannot issue a mortgage for more than 80% of the evaluation. The mortgages are subject to a 3-percentage point stress test. The people requesting a mortgage must be able to afford the payment of the interest specified in the contract, plus an additional 3%. The affordability criterion is the total mortgage payment must be a maximum of 30% of household revenue.
