Blame Canada? Toronto, Vancouver Top Housing Bubble Risks

WSJ

Blame Canada?

It isn’t just the tune made famous by the South Park movie. It may become a motto among economists if frothy housing values around the world turn into a destabilizing bubble.

UBS published its latest global real estate “bubble index” on Thursday, listing the major cities most at risk of housing bubbles. Canada took two of the top four spots, with Toronto on top and Vancouver at number four, and Northern Europe’s Munich and Stockholm sandwiched between.

U.S. cities featured pretty highly, with San Francisco and Los Angeles in “overvalued,” but not bubble territory. New York was deemed fairly valued, and Chicago was the only city in the 20 listed that was undervalued.

Not too surprised. The prices I saw on property Brothers for Toronto blew my mind years ago.

SF is outrageous. You'll pay $6k/month to live in a broom closet.

I do fee appraisals in the Los Angeles area. It is WAY overvalued for sure.

Vancouver being at the top doesn't shock me at all.

To add insult to injury, they still have to live in Toronto.

For those who don't know, the Cliffs version-

Vancouver Real Estate bubble is from Chinese money being invested in Real Estate in and around Vancouver as a safe harbor in case the shiite hits the fan in China.

Not at all surprised to see Chicago as undervalued. Last time I was there I was amazed at how cheap housing was compared to what I thought it would be.

My father in law sold his 1600 sqft house in Vancouver for $750k last year. I'm talking about a N.O. East looking house in not the best condition.

Crazy.
