You are right nobody will push for a fix because everyone has too big a mortgage that is not really the true property value in a normal market. So the problem remains under reported. The numbers to look at are what a house sold for compared to asking price. 15 yeara ago ( in Southern ontario ) you never paid over always under asking or close to. Different now since displaced Toronto owners bought in London amd Windsor. Here in BC we had 1 day on market and a flurry of "investors" dropping 50k to 100k over just to secure it. We also have bus tours and flyers for offshore buyers. Maybe it is difficult to equate linear connection numbers but a single house sold over asking drives up rest of "values" because the person that didn't make the cut on that place steps down a home level but offers more to secure it. Pushing the person in that market out. It has a knock on effect increasing price throughout the market, not just one house. And the biggest casualty is a low income earner being pushed to the street. so I don't see 1 out of 50 homes being Airbnb or foreigned owned as a 2% problem. Maybe I'm at the class level where I see how much it affects friends, family, coworkers, so claiming it isn't a big issues seems incorrect.
