Not enough to shake the foundation, Cooper examines the impact housing has had on the economy recently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Residential investments accounted for 7.7% of GDP at the end of 2016, which led to an improved economic forecast from the Bank of Canada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBut the boost came with a warning that the pace of activity in Toronto and surrounding areas is becoming increasingly unsustainable given economic fundamentals,\u201d Cooper wrote. \u201cOn the back of recent government intervention, it would be prudent to take stock of the role that housing-related activity has played in supporting overall economic growth in Canada\u2014and to gauge how a downturn in home sales could impact the broader economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Cooper, 5% of the economy is exposed to a home sales decline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cTallying up the contributions of everything from the building of new homes to the costs of maintaining and running a home, housing-related expenditures climbed to a record 25% share of the Canadian economy in 2016,\u201d Cooper wrote. \u201cNot all of this activity is vulnerable to a downturn in home sales. Close to 15% of the economy has a degree of exposure to a drop in home sales, but only 5% has a strong relationship (close to 1:1 for ownership transfer costs and new home construction).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/news\/big-bank-forecasts-housing-downturn-224970.aspx\">Big Bank Forecasts Housing Downturn<\/a> by Justin da Rosa | Canadian Real Estate Wealth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How bad will it be, and what will it mean for the economy as a whole?
