The Invisible Hand

Posted on Posted in Liberty Village

Could the Quantitative Easing by the Bank of Canada be the identifiable rocket fuel that is feeding the frenzied G.T.A housing market?

Several leading bank economists believe there is a direct correlation between the unbridled capacity of our central bank to swallow every form of repackaged debt, particularly their own, and the runaway price inflation of properties. (Wong, 2022)

The residual repercussions from the pandemic accented to the property price spillover from the Golden Horseshoe for at least 100 miles into S/W Ontario. Property prices in rural S/W Ontario have risen more in the last 2 years than in the last 50 years combined.
Many are asking;  How much longer and higher can home prices rise?

Please consider for a second that these are the most uncertain of times. The ongoing conflicts, unmitigated pollution, political instability and religious demagoguery that are being experienced throughout various parts of the world right now all contribute to an unceasing demand for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness here in the Great White North. Combine this with historically low interest rates (QE) and historically high immigration, this is indeed a cocktail with a twist.

 

 

All the while Canada sleeps beside and does 75% of its trading with an economic behemoth on steroids. (20 trillion in the recent stimulus).

So you are not alone in thinking that money has lost all value. How does one best traverse forward is the real question?
