RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Bank of CanadaMy parents arrived from Europe in the early 60's with a suitcase in hand and a few bucks in their pocket and passed away as millionaires and no debt. I have two millennial children, both of whom are renting because they understand the inverse relationship of rates and house prices and that the FOMO would eventually end. In a few years when the average price drops another 30% from here, it will be time to buy again. We are still not at pre-pandemic levels.

Unfortunately the young generation that just bought their 1st house will find it hard to make both ends meet when their mortgages will be renewed especially the ones that bought a year ago.
I know some that bought on a variable rates even though I was telling them it wasn't the time to go variable.
Variable IMO should be taken when interests are high.
Best of luck to all.
