Its not just the car market that will pop imo
Lol…no. My biggest interests in life are women, markets and cars…in that order. So just voicing my opinion…we shall see if I’m right eventually. And if I’m wrong, I have no problem being called out for it.You're just trying to make us feel good, and spreading cheer everywhere you go.
No, I think you're spot on. Both the car and housing market are due for a correction whether we like it or not.Lol…no. My biggest interests in life are women, markets and cars…in that order.

Markets can stay irrational for a long time. But I think of it this way. How much of the current demand is due to the pricing situation? If instead of a 30% paper gain on any new Lamborghini order/purchase, there is a reversion to mean of historical depreciation? If every new car saw a 15-20% decline when taken off the lot, how many people would be really wanting these cars?No, I think you're spot on. Both the car and housing market are due for a correction whether we like it or not.

Well, we shall see but I am not expecting my housing gains to be long term but if it should be I won't complain.In my area that's a negative, too many immigrants coming here throwing money to get a roof because it's cheaper than the other side and it's a bidding frenzy. Take a look here at these 2 cranes it's now going skyward.

Lol @ immigrants are going to prop up the most overvalued RE market in the world. How many immigrants are coming to Canada who have access to a million dollars to buy a property? Most if not all are low wage workers who can barely afford to pay the rent. It's just a BS narrative the RE industry wants people to believe.In my area that's a negative, too many immigrants coming here throwing money to get a roof because it's cheaper than the other side and it's a bidding frenzy.

Just a blip, right? A bazillion immigrants are coming, creating a price floor that will stop prices from dropping. Let’s look past the fact a fifth of recent immigrants want to leave due to the cost of living. We’ll also gloss over the fact that studies show Canada is looking less competitive by the day. Heck, let’s even gloss over the poor value proposition for immigrants today. Let’s only focus on BMO’s latest chart showing no correlation between population and home prices.
“Housing bulls are convinced that rising immigration tallies and strong population growth will keep a firm floor on the market,” he said. Adding, “Perhaps. But the attached chart shows zero correlation between population growth and home prices.”
When I was saying immigrants I wasn't referring from overseas but from the other side of the city. They pay a whole lot more over there so they are flooding this part. But one high rise where I saw all the owners name of these condos I would say over 95% sounded very foreign.Lol @ immigrants are going to prop up the most overvalued RE market in the world.

Plain and simple Canadian's borrowed cheap money since the panadmic started, poured it into RE and now the bubble is about to the burst.
And here's a snippet from an article from BMO talking about this vary thing...
There's article after article that prices are falling in the GTA and beyond so you must live in the only part of Canada where demand is insane.When I was saying immigrants I wasn't referring from overseas but from the other side of the city.

There is one thing you may not know, overseas immigrants receive money, the government keeps the numbers secret but I suspect it may be a lot, I can tell you a lot of them have new houses, new cars, new furniture and when it comes time to pay my bill they argue the entire bill is free or tax free or whatever.
While supply vs demand is affecting both markets there's a giant difference in that ICE cars are being killed off particularly at the top end. Mid to long term you can only compare high performance cars and houses if western countries try to mandate that we no longer build houses and everyone must live in an apartment. Houses (high performance ICE cars in this analogy) would be unlikely to come back down in value.No, I think you're spot on.

Hope your right but, having lived in Texas twice before, I have seen the housing market run up then within a few years pull back.While supply vs demand is affecting both markets there's a giant difference in that ICE cars are being killed off particularly at the top end.

The issue I see in the long term of Ev or Hybrids is the battery components are so expensive to replace. I do hope this won't be the case with the A replacement but the tech is too new for lower cost components. The P1's lithium-ion batteries cost approx. $150,000.Hope your right but, having lived in Texas twice before, I have seen the housing market run up then within a few years pull back.
Regarding ICE, I hope they will hold their value but there are a fair number of buyers that are inclined to chase the next new shiney Lamborghini to be released. Also as the ICE crowd ages I think the upcoming/future generations may be all in with the Electrictoasterscars.
