At last, someone from the world of politics is being honest about a pervasive and harmful trade-off. When home prices rise faster than earnings, owners like me gain wealth, while non-owners lose because their incomes fall further behind housing costs.

Honesty is saying that home prices have to fall. But this is progress.

The Generation Squeeze folks have recommendations.

Did you even read your own link? Besides sales dropping 4% (which it says was expected due to the rate hikes) every other stat they listed was up year-over-year or month-over-month.

Price growth has remained solid in Quebec and the East Coast, followed by British Columbia and the Prairies. Ontario is now a mixed bag, still with some of the bigger increases but also some of the bigger declines.

That sounds to me like the only area where prices aren't still growing are parts of Ontario and maybe the territories.
