Let's talk about buying a 🏠 in #Markham#Ontario.
At today's fixed rates of 4.5% & a 30 year amortization, a 750k house with 20% down will give approximately a $3000 per month mortgage. Currently, there are ZERO houses in Markham available for 750k.
Notice there are also zero properties available in #RichmondHill & #Vaughn. So let's up it to $850k. The result is....yup, still ZERO!
Let's go to 950k. NOPE!
Let's try a $1 million. In #Markham, there are 8 properties to look at.
For a $1 mill house, using the same 4.5%, 30 yr amortization, & 20% down, our mortgage payment now balloons to $4050. Or to put another, the average #ontarians take home pay after taxes!

But, to quote @ronmortgageguy "All Levels Of Government Talk About AFFORDABLE Housing But None Of Them Will Ever Say Houses Prices Must Come DOWN"
Why is this? Could there be a conflict of interest?
Below is a list of #Ontario politicians that meet 1 or more of the following criteria:
1) #residentialrental property that they earn an income from 2) residential rental property without disclosing any income 3) non-residential property 4) other involvement in #realestate
Picture this: You're the average #Canadian, which means your take home pay after taxes is $4000 a month. Ontario is expensive, so you allocate $1400 a month to #rent an apartment in the #GTA. These are your SEVEN choices as of March 30th, 2023
