I wonder if this will be effective at all or corruption will poke it full of holes?
The Decline of Vancouver.
So, kinda what we've all been saying all along….
In other news, GF and I happened to load up the MLS page having accidently left the VPN blocker on over the weekend. Sure enough, a giant splash page encouraging US investors to buy Canadian real estate appears…
I was told that LNG will save us all and a roast in every oven. What, me worry?

so after 15 years of the laundered money dribbling out of mainland China … shit has changed

I payed out my mortgage so then I try to get clear Title which involves getting the lien taken off in BCLT office, after talking to 2 people at the bank it became clear they didn't how to give me the right paper work, apparently its very uncommon … kinda sad
hey heads up in the remote chance you ever pay off your mortgage if you tell your insurance company right away and give them a copy of the banks payout notice they will reimburse you some of your house insurance … got a check for 27$

I would guess that a house with no mortgage has been deemed a better risk for the insurance company by the actuaries
But it does show that its probably a good idea to go over your policy with your insurance company everytime you write that check if something as simple as paying off the mortgage can save 27$

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation will charge borrowers a few dollars more every month to insure their mortgages, starting in March.
probably a good idea given the crazy RE markets?
I don't agree with people complaining about their property taxes… Like their property goes up in value by $400k in one year and they complain that they have to pay another few thousand dollars in property taxes. Step back and think about that for a second - someone's net worth just went up $400k in 12 months and they gotta pay (say an extra $4k of property taxes) - they are still up $396k!! I just made those numbers up, but you get what I'm saying.
I do understand that its more of a cashflow issue than anything though - so people should have the option to defer but they should still be charged interest on the amount deferred.
In my post above, I had my mechanics wrong in terms of how property taxes are calculated, but this article is essentially what I was trying to say - worth a read.
Chinese are fucking up new zealand too

Increasingly, not New Zealanders. Foreign investment in Auckland has boomed under the National party government (this is not confined to Auckland). According to Core Logic in 2012, 37% of buyers were investors. Today that proportion is nearly 50%, a significant number of whom are Chinese.
Surprised no one has posted the NY Times article laughing at our Banana Republic.
