I know two families who want to get out from RE but can not as they bought in 2007/2008. They are under 50K+ negative equity without Realtor commission. There are HELOC and luxury toys from home ATM machine.
sub-prime did not bring USA to knees but negative equity and no saving. But Real Estate board are still selling to half brain people that negative equity does not matter as long as you are paying bills, March 18th deadline, BOC did not change rates. Everybody makes money upfront in RE transaction so who cares long term.
2nd half of 2011 market will be interesting.

”I should be very worried about Canada” -Paul Krugman

Housing overvalued, BMO warns
http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/story/2011/03/03/bmo-housing.html
California's economy is same as Canada in size and better weather and world most tech industry, Hollywood and world's wonderful cities. But people's debt and their House ATM machine broke them. Oil was $40 and $60-65 pretty long time in last two years. It's more about speculation and commodity holdings than fair demand/supply of oil. Same holds true in Real Estate..speculation. How does oil price help 150/100 debt ratio people? That is highest in western world.
How many people we know who got big bonus by oil & gas higher price? But we may know the people who are struggling because of higher food and transportation price.
-------------------------------------------------
There is 5 SFH open house in our small community on weekend. There is a house that sold 2 times in last 3 yrs that started from 850K when I saw first time in open house. Same house and no change was priced $750k second time and this weekend it was $689K. I think $650K offer will be accepted in this market. 200K (+ Realtor's commission+misc. cost) loss in last 3 yrs and that is after tax.
But people have seen 15%-30% investment return after crash. Crash is a time for investment and Canadian RE will be good investment soon.

Till commodity market is in high demand. Canada is okay. See how oil prices have rise recently. I think it is good for canada. Oil, Gold , rare earth metals( used in latest electron gadgets) . They will be in high demand. China & india are in 9-10% growth rate drive. 2 trillion dollar india ecomany will be 6 trillion within 8-9 years. The need for more energy and so will keep the canada fine. Thier may be small time corrections. But in long run for 10 years. No going back on house prices

Rahul Singh is still at the same game.
While Rahul had been dissuading and scaring the folks to not invest in Real estate, GTA has seen some people making substantial profits after commissions (...yes, after commissions! It seems the hard earned commissions bother you more than anything else).
Come out of the well and swim in open fresh waters of Ontario....

Fido.
People made substantial profits after commissions everywhere (USA & Canada) when they bought/sold/flip at right time or made faster mortgage payments in low interest rate world without accumulating more debt.
There are tons of people who bought in or after 2007 (0/40, 5/35) are in negative equity and some even can not sell if they want. 90% new mortgages originated in last few years are CMHC insurance means they are not credit worthy so need tax payer's sign off.
People made 15-30% in stocks, precious and gold and safest bet Balance index funds in last 2-3 yrs.
Paul Krugman, Robet Shiller, Peter Schiff, Garth Turner, David Rosenberg even Mark Carney are talking about Canadian RE bubble and too much debt. I can understand these people are not as smart as Real Estate Board.
