Écoutez le chroniqueur Luc Ferrandez qui discute avec l'animateur Patrick Lagacé de la crise du marché immobilier à Montréal.
Can you believe that, it’s incredible… there’s thousands and thousands empty condos in Montréal, a lot are new, and they continue to build them, sometimes even in high rising towers and all. A lot of them are illegal airbnb too.
Why they cannot sell them? They are small, expensive, and sometimes badly placed (no metro, no parking, bad area, place without services around, etc).
I was talking to my fiance about this, I’m about to graduate from my program and both of us can work anywhere there is a hospital. We were looking into houses or condos in the GTA but its just stupid expensive. I joked about bailing on canada entirely and just packing up/moving and that quickly went from a joke to our top option. I can’t believe its gotten so unbelievably to hard to live here, whats the point in staying?
I wasn’t really talking about affordability over all, which won’t get better while governments allow corporations and “mom and pop” to buy and hold hostage the housing supply. But if reality were to actually affect the market, condos would crash hard, which maybe would help a bit with affordability?
But yeah, I wouldn’t live in Toronto either if my industry didn’t pay so well (film and TV production). It’s wack.
