Post Your Favourite Charts Here

Really interesting tool. If you baseline from Q2 2008, Canada clearly wins the losing race -
Even the Chinese Politicians have recognised the problem with unregulated housing money laundering investing in Vancouver: Chinese envoy says lack of oversight behind Vancouver’s house-price crisis The comments reflect the growing resentment. Only a matter of time before the politicians have to do something or lose the popular vote

Garth Turner from the Greater Fool Blog also makes the same Canada-Australia comparison: Great blog, but he persistently refuses to acknowledge that Hot Asian Money is influencing the market. Any comment that suggests that HAM is a contributing factor results in the racist card being pulled. Perhaps he got his moderator training from the BBC.

Vancouver is getting crazy now. This is what $950,000 gets you on the outskirts of town: To get anything decent that’s in an area where you would actually want to live, this is what happens: West Vancouver home sparks bidding war, sells for $1.1 million above asking. Nine offers were made for the 60-year-old rancher, which was listed at $2.98 million and sold for $4.1 million Similar to the threads about the Australian bubble being fueled by hot offshore money, the politicians are beginning to see votes in the growing resentment on Canadians being outpriced: Interesting that they don’t actually publish the data, so no one can verify this. Growing resentment that there’s no curb on money flowing into Vancouver from overseas and no questions asked on how the $50,000 per year transfer limit out of China is being circumvented to keep the HPI party going. Many parallels to what is happening in Australia.

Canada surprise rate cut keeps housing party going ...and of course, the real estate chaps are once again nursing a semi over this – e.g. here’s Mr Fudge packing it in: -
Did Canada Just Pop It's Housing Bubble?

Only Hong Kong has less affordable housing than Vancouver, study finds Interesting chart from CHPC.biz. Listings are plummeting and sales are down, so it seems that a few sales at the high end are perpetuating the HPI to the moon mantra -
