The Canadian housing market in 2026 is

0:03

now worse than the housing market crash

0:05

that happened back in the 1990s.

0:09

And we are seeing some of these losses

0:11

that are staggering and are happening at

0:13

breakneck speeds. We're going to get

0:15

into the stories. Some of these losses

0:18

also something that is buried in most

0:20

people's mortgage terms that they don't

0:22

even know about could completely ruin

0:26

them. you are broke

0:28

>> and is completely to the advantage of

0:30

the banks which we'll get into later so

0:32

stay tuned for that. Let's start off

0:35

first though with the losses. Now this

0:37

one guys I mean it's a big one. It

0:40

really is a big one.

0:42

>> Are you ready?

0:43

>> It's an over 45%

0:46

loss in Hamilton which you know was

0:49

going to be the boom town and was going

0:51

to be the place that is the next

0:52

Toronto. I don't think prices will be

0:54

going down uh anytime soon

0:56

>> and is now just a place where home

0:59

prices have collapsed. So, this place is

1:02

selling at an over 45%

1:06

loss here. Not sure what really happened

1:09

with this one. Maybe somebody was trying

1:11

to renovate it. It looks like pretty

1:13

much all the renovation has been done.

1:17

But, you know, it's just a disaster. a

1:20

massive financial hit that this person

1:22

took. Is it a power of sale? Possibly.

1:25

Maybe. So, you can see back in 2022,

1:28

right before the Bank of Canada came in

1:31

and hiked rates for the very first time

1:33

>> yesterday, Governing Council took the

1:36

decision to raise the policy rate by 25

1:38

basis points to half a percent.

1:41

>> And that was what started tanking the

1:43

market. By the way, rates were still

1:44

extremely low, but that was the start of

1:47

the tanking market. And guess what? It

1:50

sold for $950,000.

1:54

I mean, who in that deal? And I would

1:57

love to have the conversation with them

1:59

about it.

1:59

>> Give me my money back.

2:01

>> And now it's been sold for 521,000.

2:05

I mean, it's mindblowing. These losses

2:07

are in nominal terms and you've had some

2:10

of the highest inflation in the past 2,

2:13

three decades that Canada has ever seen.

2:16

on top of this. Who cares? So, you know,

2:19

you're really talking about 60%, you're

2:22

talking about 70% losses. And the speed

2:24

at which this is happening. I mean, it's

2:26

crazy, guys. We'll get into it. And

2:28

again, like what's buried in people's

2:31

mortgage terms, they don't even know.

2:33

They don't even understand. We're going

2:35

to get into that because it's one

2:36

particular term that could ruin people.

2:39

So, anyway, this is another one here.

2:41

It's an over 42% loss in Hamilton.

2:45

similar style of house actually. I mean

2:47

they look very very similar in fact even

2:50

similar in the inside. It's kind of

2:52

crazy. I mean it looks like the

2:54

renovation was obviously never completed

2:56

here. And basically again this was

2:59

bought for an insane price. There's

3:01

papers on the door there. So there's

3:03

papers on the door. So this is likely

3:05

probably a power of sale here. And it

3:08

sold for $645,000.

3:11

It was listed for $659 and it sold under

3:14

that compared to back in 2022. Back in

3:18

February 2022, it sold for a whopping

3:22

1.13

3:24

million.

3:29

And you know, by the looks of the

3:31

history here, I mean, when you go back

3:33

to this listing in 2021, well, it was

3:37

actually a dump back then. And it

3:38

obviously got renovated and then sold,

3:41

possibly even sold to a developer. I

3:43

mean, that's the likely person who paid

3:46

that much over asking price because it

3:48

was listed for 700,000 and it sold for

3:51

that 1.13 million. So completely crazy.

3:56

It's done like this round trip. I mean,

3:58

it's just absolutely mad. But developers

4:01

were just scrambling to get land

4:03

together to get condo projects on the

4:06

go. So maybe that's what happened there.

4:07

Then you've got this in Bmpton here is

4:10

another huge loss over 37%

4:14

here. So it sold for $65,000,

4:18

but in 2022 it sold for $971,000.

4:26

And probably a lot of you are looking at

4:28

this and saying, "Yeah, it's a newly

4:30

renovated house, Luke, but I'm not

4:32

paying $65,000

4:36

for a house, which isn't even a detached

4:39

house in Bmpton of all places."

4:41

>> I don't think so.

4:42

>> And you know, this could have been a

4:44

power of sale. Again, you've got the

4:46

notice on the door. So, was this a power

4:49

of sale? Was it a flip gone wrong?

4:51

Maybe. I mean, this is the exact type of

4:54

thing that you're seeing and you're

4:55

going to see more and more and more of

4:57

these. And you know, this one is a

4:59

market chase and this one really tells

5:02

the story by the price action here.

5:04

Could be a power of sale now. Who knows?

5:07

They've only got three pictures on here,

5:09

so it's likely a power of sale. And

5:11

basically, this is in Hamilton again,

5:14

and it's an over 35% loss. But that's

5:18

not really what the biggest theme of

5:20

this is. The biggest theme is this sold

5:22

in 2021 for over a million dollar. So

5:26

$1.01 million back in 2021. And then

5:30

look, they lease it out. The rent gets

5:33

increased. Then they list it for sale in

5:36

2025 at $900,000.

5:39

No takers. And they just start chasing

5:41

the market down. And at some point, the

5:44

bank probably took it from them. And in

5:46

a lot of people's case, they can't

5:48

actually afford to take that big of a

5:51

loss on it. They're going to go bankrupt

5:53

if they take that big of a loss. They

5:55

just can't afford to do it. So many

5:57

people are going to be in that

5:58

situation. So many people are sat on a

6:01

home right now that is upside down and

6:04

they don't even realize that there's a

6:06

term in their mortgage that could

6:08

completely obliterate them if the banks

6:10

want to do it. And it could happen if

6:13

credit gets really tight, which is

6:15

likely to come in this cycle. We've

6:17

already seen credit tightening in a lot

6:20

of different areas of the economy, some

6:22

banks as well. This is a one bed, one

6:24

bath condo. And it's an over 20% loss in

6:28

2 years here. And this condo is not bad

6:32

for a one bed, one bath condo. It's not

6:34

like one of the shoe box condos that you

6:37

get in Toronto. This is actually a

6:39

pretty decent size for a one-bedroom,

6:42

one bath condo. It's 783 square ft. So,

6:46

you can see here you've got a nice

6:48

kitchen there. Really nice, actually,

6:50

even with a second refrigerator/wine

6:53

cooler by the looks of it. So, a really

6:55

nice apartment there. And it just sold

6:58

for $425,000.

7:00

But guess what, guys? in 2024 that was

7:03

sold for $100,000 more at $535,000.

7:08

So, you know, it's lost 20% 10% every

7:12

single year. So, not really a good

7:15

investment. And if we go and take a look

7:16

at this, the condo fees right now are

7:19

$678

7:22

a month. You've got property taxes of

7:24

$4,452

7:27

a year. This $678

7:31

a month is likely to be well over $1,000

7:34

in the next five years. And probably in

7:36

the next 10, 15 years when whoever buys

7:39

this is paying off their mortgage, that

7:42

condo fee will be bigger than their

7:44

initial mortgage payment.

7:45

>> The condommonium market is is absolutely

7:48

dead right now.

7:48

>> I mean, it's the condo scam, it should

7:51

be called in Canada. I mean, you don't

7:54

own the land, and the land is the most

7:56

important thing when you buy a home. The

7:59

land is where the value is. The house is

8:01

just a liability, unless, of course,

8:03

you're renting out the basement or

8:04

something like that. So, this is 9245

8:07

Shovel Drive in Niagara Falls. I mean,

8:11

it looks like they definitely need a

8:13

shovel because I mean, look at the

8:15

amount of snow that they've got there.

8:17

So, Shovel Drive.

8:21

Oh, man. And I mean that has got to

8:23

cause some jokes within that community.

8:26

>> A few moments later,

8:27

>> it's a really nice house. This is an

8:30

over 14% loss in about 18 months, give

8:34

or take. So it just sold 14% gone. 18
