Prices in Vancouver and Toronto have surged and traditional single-family homes can often fetch more than $1 million, prompting buyers to move into distant suburbs and lawmakers to introduce special taxes on foreign owners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Higher prices are likely behind a decline in Canadian home ownership rates, which have also fallen in other industrialized nations, Siddall said. Canada remains vulnerable to household debts that have reached 175% of disposable income, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Toronto home prices have climbed 63% over the last five years, with about half of that gain coming in the last two years, according to the Teranet-National Bank Home Price Index. In Vancouver, prices have jumped 65% over five years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/news\/canadians-have-to-rethink-their-home-ownership-dreams--cmhc-234871.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CMHC : Canadians Have to Rethink Their Home Ownership Dreams<\/a> by Ephraim Vecina | Canadian Real Estate Wealth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The head of the federal housing agency argued that more Canadians may have to rethink the idea of owning a home, especially in major cities where prices have surged. \u201cThe &hellip;
