Study Notes
The Canadian Housing Crisis
- The Canadian housing problem is worsening due to difficulty affording homes. Financial status and the economy are affected by the crisis.
- Several policies are in place to manage the crisis. High real estate investment and development have caused this issue.
- Housing construction isn't keeping pace with the increasing need for more housing, worsening the problem.
- The number of people wanting to buy homes is increasing, but housing supply is insufficient.
- High immigration accompanies rising housing demand, leading to issues in infrastructure and resources.
- Housing policies have difficulty keeping up with these dynamics.
- The housing problem hurts many businesses. High housing costs affect wages and company operations. Small businesses are particularly affected.
- Challenges are present in retaining skilled employees.
- The housing market restricts available housing. Housing is not affordable for many.
- The retail sector is affected by a decrease in spending on unnecessary purchases that were previously considered essential.
- Small businesses struggle as residents prioritize essential purchases over non-essential ones.
- Some businesses adapt by offering perks like work-from-home options and flexible time schedules.
- Real estate firms in Canada benefit from higher property values, but the higher prices affect average homeowners negatively.
- Some people moved to Calgary (a city in Canada) and were lucky enough to not experience the full impact of the housing crisis because they bought homes before prices skyrocketed.
