    Living in Langley near Vancouver, Ive noticed the market picking up quite a bit lately, even seeing many places going into BIDS.....how are ppl affording these rates, who the hell knows
  • @TheSpyder699
    First look the value 👌 of the area and drop the price from the difference of the drop in % don't be shy to go 50-100k under asking when the price is off 😀
  • Excellent guide, Tom. I'm one of those 1st time home buyers trying to get into the market this year, and this is super helpful 👌 Keep up the great work 👍

    I currently live in midtown on Yonge and davialle in a rent controlled building which I have everything that I need. The rent is 1600 for 1 bedroom ( swimming pool and gym ). The fact that I live here I’m able to save a lot for a future place. Im too confortable to move out 😇

    Thanks Tom for keeping real & transparent great vid 👏.
  • Co-ownership is a really interesting alternative, however, this requires trust or a trusted financial system to define terms for such a contract. Are you aware of any financial regulations around co-ownership in the current system?
  • Property value, and CBDCs. What percentage of Canadians own property? In Canada, the homeownership rate in 2021 was 66.5%, and it fell 2.5 percentage points from 69.0% in 2011. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the homeownership rate in 2021 was 75.7%, and it fell 1.8 percentage points from 77.5% in 2011 Expected 1 out of 5 defaults on Mortgages due to debt to equity ratio. Canada needs to own something, or we will not be happy!

    If I already have a TFSA, is there a point to opening up a FHSA?
