Barnes: If You Want To Solve Canada’s Housing Crisis - Let The Free Market Work
Canada is not just facing a looming housing crisis; we’re in the middle of one. According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, housing is considered affordable when if it costs less than 30 percent of a household’s pre-tax income. As of this January, a homebuyer who purchases an average home faces monthly mortgage payments of more than $3,600. This means that the average household who buys today must spend 48.3 percent of their income on housing. The problem is a lack of supply.

According to the CMHC, the last time housing was considered affordable across Canada was in 2003-04. To put that in perspective, that was the last time the Calgary Flames advanced to the Stanley Cup finals, 20 years ago.
