Daunting housing statistics from RBC
September 28, 2010 - 9:00 am | 0 Comments Posted by Jonathan Ross
The expression "house rich, cash poor," seems like it was coined specifically for the Vancouver housing market.
RBC’s just-released report detailing the percentage of household income going towards mortgages is frightening, particularly in the case of Vancouver.
According the statistics:
“Ontario and B.C. saw the most significant deterioration in affordability in the second quarter;”
“RBC’s Housing Affordability Measure for a detached bungalow in Canada’s largest cities is as follows: Vancouver 74.0 per cent (up 1.7 percentage points from the last quarter)”
That is referring to the proportion of median pre-tax household income required to service the cost of a mortgage on an existing housing unit.
What was the next city on the list? Toronto, at 50.2 per cent.
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

FACT OF THE DAY
Quote OF THE DAY
“Perhaps it was my silk dress or the new perfume I’ve been wearing lately. When I asked Suzanne Anton what her New Year’s resolution was, she replied, “To kiss a pretty girl!” and pecked me on the cheek.” – Writer Emily Barca describing her encounter with the lone NPA City Councillor on New Year’s Eve.
