This marks the third consecutive quarter that the CMHC has given Canadian housing the moderate label following 10 straight quarters of sounding the alarm over what it saw as a \u201chigh degree of vulnerability\u201d in the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CMHC, a Crown Corporation that handles all things housing for the federal government, evaluates the market using a framework that considers evidence of four housing risk factors \u2014 overheating, price acceleration, overvaluation and overbuilding \u2014 to provide an overall assessment for the national market as well as 15 major markets across the country. To develop its assessment, the CMHC looks at the intensity of each risk factor and the persistence of the market imbalances. So essentially, how bad are they and how long are they expected to be that bad?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the summer and fall seasons have seen some major markets register noteworthy recoveries in sales and prices, the Canada-wide average home price is still in decline and price acceleration is low. Meantime, the population of young adults entering prime home-buying age is growing, leading to an expanded pool of potential buyers. The CMHC points to this as evidence that the ever-important housing market fundamentals \u2014 which also include population and wage growth in many urban centres \u2014 are catching up to the once-runaway home prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All this makes for much tamer conditions than what was reported in 2017, for instance, when the CMHC was seeing many bright red risk factors across several major housing hubs amounting to a highly vulnerable Canadian market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now only Victoria has the unlucky designation of being a \u201chighly vulnerable\u201d market with the CMHC noting that the west coast city has moderate evidence of price acceleration and overvaluation, which is enough to earn it a red flag overall. Thankfully, the CMHC says these risk factors appear to be easing so it\u2019s possible that Victoria will be downgraded next quarter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Toronto, which earned the highly vulnerable distinction just last quarter, was downgraded in the fourth quarter with housing overvaluation easing and evidence of overbuilding found to be low by the CMHC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2019\/11\/canadian-housing-healthy-after-dangerous-territory.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canadian Housing is on A Healthy Streak After 2.5 Years in Dangerous Territory<\/a> by Sean MacKay | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overvalued, overbuilt, overheated \u2014 all of these terms have been used to describe the potential danger that the Canadian housing market has found itself in at various points over the &hellip;
