Mortgage rates will do more than just fall. The Fed funds rate is slated to fall to zero this year and at least a half point cut in the Fed funds rate March 18th. The Bank of Canada will match these rate cuts. Everyone will go broke here and in America just like in Japan and Europe. Ben Bernanke's legacy.
Posted by Tony on Thursday, March 12th, 2020 at 10:10pmShould read mar 13 not feb 13. Just FYI.
Posted by Curtis on Friday, March 13th, 2020 at 3:18amShould be interesting to see what happens.
The Coronavirus story is destroying the economy. Healthcare becomes a worship, people are brain washed.
Posted by Sharon on Friday, March 13th, 2020 at 4:23amThe Fed funds rate is slated to fall to zero this year and at least a half point cut in the Fed funds rate March 18th. The Bank of Canada will cut the rate one half a point this Monday March 16th. Expect bidding wars to erupt in the GTA like you've never seen before.
Posted by Tony on Friday, March 13th, 2020 at 10:17pmYes, we have multiple offers for properties here in GTA, and the price is 100 to 150K over asking. However, do you think the bank will approve the mortgage?
Posted by jason on Saturday, March 14th, 2020 at 1:24amNo city is immune from this, I predict it will be just like 2017 ish, where people will just walk away. You have to remember, in GTA, the deposit is NOT automatically goes to seller in a default... It needs mutual release.
The wheel of fortune basically stop, if you have a job, you can barely afford the house, without it, good luck.
Jason, I agree, see how many business are still in good shape in Canada. Bombardier, SNC, Suncor, Blackberry. The fundamental is not promising. Banks are building up with bad loans.
Posted by Sharon on Saturday, March 14th, 2020 at 4:13amSo..... we looking at a L shaped recession? If so, what kind of deflation are we going to see in Real Estate? 50%? Japan had it bad in the 80's, so I imagine something similar may happen here.....
Posted by jared on Sunday, March 15th, 2020 at 1:18amDebt in countries around the world is going to skyrocket.
Posted by GM on Sunday, March 15th, 2020 at 10:21pmNot sure if this will mean inflation or deflation. I guess if every country creates trillions of new dollars (or whatever currency they have) maybe it'll all be a wash.
Buy gold I guess.
Some people say Canadian housing is becoming a Ponzi schema that creating no values to the economy, the money should go to business to create more GDP growth.
Posted by Sharon on Monday, March 16th, 2020 at 2:20amHealthcare keeps brain wash people and expand. The day people wake up is close.
Posted by Sharon on Wednesday, March 18th, 2020 at 1:35amPoloz is slated to kill the Canadian dollar and savers at 11:15 today. At least mortgage rates should fall for the ones who didn't pay cash and have a mortgage.
Posted by Tony on Wednesday, March 18th, 2020 at 3:32amTony,
Posted by GM on Thursday, March 19th, 2020 at 7:33amHe didn't do it. Guess he's afraid to, since the Canadian dollar is already in freefall.
