SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 days agohouse prices in some markets have already faced 50% drops from the peak
Peak was stupid in 2021, but houses are still 300% overvalued in Canada.

Yes, and they're unlikely to drop to where they should in the near-term. Even the 1990s housing crash was really mostly the market going sideways until inflation caught up.

In 1970, the median home price was around $24,000 ($207,000ish adjusting for inflation). Median home price is now $425,000. So house prices have increased about twice the speed of inflation. Meaning we’d need at least 50 years of stagnant prices. I’d take that too.
