2 reasons the US is in a major housing shortage, construction can't get done, and houses cost more than many Americans can afford

The US is likely a decade or more behind on building single family homes for people to live in. This is going to provide a floor for housing prices and push rents higher.

NEW BATTERY PLANT TALENT RECRUITMENT TO BEGIN BY END OF 2022 OR EARLY 2023Yes, we are in a rising rate environment, but we also have 4-5 massive infrastructure projects bringing thousands of jobs to the city. Also, Windsor remains the most affordable city in Ontario.

When I buy real estate, I buy it for 10-20 years and try not to focus on any one or two year period of time.

The Bank of Canada ran too long without raising rates, now they’re arguably raising rates too quickly with another half percent hike likely coming June 1.

As salary offers soar, here's how much wages are rising in South Florida

Rising wages across the US will lead to higher rents and higher real estate prices

That's according to a review of Bureau of Labor Statistics data by The Playbook, which found average weekly earnings rose 5.7% in U.S. metro areas between February 2021 and February 2022. The average employee in a metro area is taking home about $48 more than they were in February 2021 ($920.30 compared to $872.59).

Staff shortage creating planning bottleneck at city hall: Developers

You can't get anything done in this country with all the red tape, that is the reason that, across the country, Canada will remain in a perpetual supply/demand imbalance.

Windsor housing market remains strong despite interest rate hikes

Harder to slow the cheapest market in Ontario.  Despite the recent hikes in bank interest rates, the demand for new homes in the Windsor area remains robust, and the rate of local home prices continues to outpace most other Canadian markets.  Price appreciation is slowing, however, which could represent good opportunities for buyers or investors.  The long-term fundamentals have not changed for Ontario real estate which continues to have one of the lowest homes per capita of any G7 country.

New Yorkers and Californians Flock to Florida

Fla. rents are up because demand is up, and new residents boost demand. In 2020, 167 people moved in for every 100 who left. In 2021, the inbound number was 210.  People from all over the world continue to flock to this coastal state with low taxes and great weather.  Given supply shortages for labour and building material, supply simply can't keep up with ever-increasing demand.  This is pushing rents higher as well.  Florida has always been known as a snowbird state, but now it's become one of the top places to live in the world for people of all ages.

Federal government will let international graduates stay in Canada another 18 months

Most international students come to Canada on study permits because it's the path to permanent residency. Most students end up staying forever and absorb a significant amount of housing resale and rental properties.
