US Federal Reserve: Canadian Real Estate Prices Are The Fastest Falling In The World

Canadian real estate prices were the fastest rising in the world, just a few months ago. Now we’re claiming the opposite title, as the market explores where prices should be. Newly released Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (the Dallas Fed) numbers, show a decline in home prices for the third quarter of 2017. This is the first time in over five years, that Canadian real estate prices have declined for a quarter. Despite the quarterly decline, prices still remain significantly higher than the year before.

US Federal Reserve Home Prices Index
The Dallas Fed publishes home price indexes for academics and researchers. Today we’ll be looking at their Real House Price Index (RHPI). It’s the same concept as the HPI that Teranet and the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) produce. In fact, they actually use CREA data to create it. They also combine it with data from Royal LePage, Statistics Canada, and UBC. This helps them get a cleaner, and more comprehensive look at the general market.

The inflation adjusted score tracks the aggregate of urban markets across the country, and is updated quarterly. You won’t be able to use these numbers to determine how much you have to pay for your neighbour’s house. Instead, you should use these to get a better read on national home buying trends, and the economy in general. Housing is a very large industry in Canada, and a slowdown would ripple throughout the economy.

Canadian Real Estate Prices Dropped 3.82% In Q3
Canadian real estate prices dropped the most since the early 1990s, according to the the Dallas Fed. Real home prices, a.k.a. home prices adjusted for inflation, fell 3.82% in the third quarter of 2017. The single quarter decline is the first decline since 2012, and the largest since the first quarter of 1991. This is the largest single quarter decline in the world according to the Dallas Fed’s global index. The second largest decline they observed was in Italy, where prices fell 0.38% in the quarter.

So far the only real estate I seen dropping is Arctic Ocean resort properties. We were lied to as to how soon it would be the new Florida.

Florida is the new timmons
;)
I saw the fossils

Thing is, interest rates going up is going to KILL the economies of every "in debt" country.

So who forecloses?

As in who owns the debt ?

China

But the better question is who will default first.

Toronto housing market down 32 % april to april...
https://globalnews.ca/news/4183947/toronto-area-homes-sales-april/

Canada has the biggest real estate bubble ever, and it is now collapsing ( as predicted...) , and just like venezuela's collapse (they are down to bartering ), the banks will pick it all up for a song.
Add this to Canada being the biggest personal debtors...

Big trouble is on the horizon, and the horizon is closing in fast...AGAIN

This shows it's not exactly an accident...
(from the above link)

The Toronto Real Estate Board revealed Thursday that the market saw 7,792 transactions in April, a 32.1 per cent drop from the same period last year when 11,468 homes were sold. Observers believe last April may have been the peak of the market as activity soared ahead of the Ontario government’s package of measures to cool the market

The price decline was much larger on a year-over-year basis. The average home fell by 12.4 per cent from last year, to $804,584 in April.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said Wednesday that this was its weakest April for single-family home sales in nearly 30 years
