5月上GTA房价再涨5.4%突破年初峰值

所以我一直都感觉猪老弟是个明白人。哈哈。

有点不同意你的看法。听任说这么低的利率，应该多贷，你怎么说着反话呢？

回复 hack2：买房子量力而行。。。贷款多了现在低，没问题。。。但过了几年利率上去高了，你会很吃力 的。

自住和投资, 就差每年的房租, 1.3万左右吧, 就是自住的赶紧下手, 投资的不买? 😁

回复 加拿大老张：如果是我，已经等了那么久也不在乎多等一等，至少等到淡季。看样子小幅波动的可能性比较大，现在不买亏不到哪里去，但万一有个不测大跌，那就很不合算了，我是说万一。当然，有闲钱的最伤神，放在银行里一年不如一年。投资做点什么。。。

你要哭了，看看今天的消息: 你要哭了，看看今天的消息: Canada’s annual inflation rate in April slowed to 0.4 per cent on a sharp decline in the price of gasoline and lower prices for passenger vehicles. That’s the lowest level seen since October 2009 and a rate below what most economists had been expecting. Statistics Canada reported that the consumer price index was up 0.4 per cent in April from a year earlier, compared with 1 per cent in March. Why the Canadian dollar has been crushed this week Add to ...

Loonie erodes The erosion of the loonie picked up steam today, extending its loss over the course of a week to more than 2.5 cents, largely on U.S. issues but exacerbated by Canada's latest inflation reading. VIDEO Video: Fed officials in slugfest over stimulus The currency hit a low this morning of 96.97 cents U.S., before regaining some ground, marking a loss at its low point of 2.9 per cent since hitting 99.86 cents last Thursday. It’s not just that commodity-based currencies are being hit - gold, for example, continues to slip - but also what developments in the United States mean to its northern neighbour, said chief currency strategist Camilla Sutton of Bank of Nova Scotia. Just yesterday, for example, the U.S. Commerce Department reported that housing starts across America plunged 16.5 per cent in April. The U.S. housing market has been picking up, and any sign of a construction slowdown could hurt Canadian lumber exports, Ms. Sutton. It also could signal other broader issues that tend to wash up on Canada’s shores given the relationship to the U.S. economy. Comments by a Federal Reserve official didn’t help. John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, in a speech in Portland, Ore., yesterday, raised the prospect of the U.S. central bank’s bond-buying stimulus beginning to taper off within a few months. So several developments are helping the U.S. dollar to rise, acting at the same time against the loonie, as Canada's dollar coin is known. Driving it lower today was the exceptionally tame reading on inflation, which suggests the Bank of Canada is a long way off from hiking interest rates. “The market just seems to want the U.S. dollar to rally,” Ms. Sutton said. At least some of the loonie’s weakness of late could continue. Adam Cole of Royal Bank of Canada noted a “seasonal tendency” for the currency to weaken in June. “The evidence suggests this is associated with a heavy concentration of bond maturities and coupons in the month and a tendency for at least part of the cash flow to ‘leak’ out of CAD,” he said, referring to the currency by its symbol.

The annual pace of inflation slipped in April from 1 per cent in March on the back of 6-per-cent decline in pump prices from a year earlier, The Globe and Mail's Bertrand Marotte reports. That marked the fastest fall in gas prices since October, 2009, Statistics Canada said today. But even stripping out gas, consumer prices were up just 0.8 per cent last month, down from March’s 1.1 per cent. "The headline inflation rate marked a stark deceleration from the prior month’s 1-per-cent pace, and is the lowest inflation rate since the recessionary period," said Emanuella Enenajor of CIBC World Markets. Food and shelter costs were rose over the course of the year, preventing inflation from dropping further. On a monthly, seasonally adjusted basis, consumer prices across Canada dipped 0.4 per cent in April from March. British Columbia, home to Canada's weakest housing market, now also boasts the weakest showing on this front, as well. Given the death of the harmonized sales tax and province's return to the provincial sales tax, prices were down in April by 0.8 per cent from a year earlier. "But even the country's hottest economies are seeing bening price trends, with up 1.3 per cent y/y and 1 per cent y/y in Alberta and Saskatchewan, respectively," said senior economist Robert Kavcic of BMO Nesbitt Burns. So-called core prices, which exclude volatile items like gas and help guide the Bank of Canada, rose 1.1 per cent across the country, down from 1.4 per cent in March. Both total and core inflation are below what economists had projected. The Bank of Canada, which targets an inflation rate of 2 per cent, hadn't expected to actually hit that level for some time yet. But today's numbers underscore the lack of any pressure on the central bank to raise rates any time soon. Indeed, economists expect it will be late 2014 or early 2015 before it does. "Over all, a set of figures suggesting inflationary pressures remain well under wraps in Canada, removing any pressure on the bank to raise rates this year, even with the recent signs of modest economic improvement at the start of the year," Ms. Enenajor said of the report. Canada's inflation at just 0.4%, slowest since 2009 Markets rise Global stock markets are on the rise so far this morning, setting the stage for a nice end to the week as Canada heads into a long weekend. And, hey, the folks in Ontario no longer have to worry about a strike shutting down the province’s liquor outlets, given a tentative deal late yesterday between union and management. And anyway, watching Canadian politics may prove to be a lot more fun today than watching the markets. Tokyo’s Nikkei gained 0.7 per cent today, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was closed. In Europe, London’s FTSE 100, Germany’s DAX and the Paris CAC-40 were up by between 0.2 per cent and 0.4 per cent. The optimism then spread to North American markets. "With the overseas economic calendar largely front-loaded this week, global equities are modestly upbeat this morning in the absence of major market-moving data," said Carl Campus of BMO Nesbitt Burns.
