HEY GUESS WHAT! I was just interviewed by a popular YouTuber who specializes in the Housing Market trends facts, and predictions because he said my predictions where very accurate! Debutes Jan 9 2025! HERE
IN THIS POST: FACTUAL World Data, Predictions and Astrology!
I had a client compare the standard of living in our home country of Canada to the rest of the world, stating we do not have problems, stop wining and look at other developing countries! I replied:
WORLD DATA
I have clients in Korea, the USA, UK, the UAE, and Australia, and we often discuss inflation and financial challenges. After crunching the numbers with them, I'm frequently struck by how they perceive their housing costs as high, especially given their relatively higher average incomes compared to ours.
For example, in Perth, Australia, a 2-bedroom condo averages around $500,000 to $600,000, similar to housing costs here. However, the minimum wage is $24.10, and the average income is $89,000—quite favorable. One of my clients, an experienced salesperson, earns a solid income reflecting this.
In the UAE, the lower end of hourly wages is about 93 AED hr, which translates to roughly $37 CAD hr. Interestingly, the cost of living in Dubai is about 22% lower than in the United States, offering more purchasing power for residents. The UAE does not levy income tax on individuals. However, it levies 5 per cent value added Tax on the purchase of goods and services.
In Korea, the average monthly income is about 3,000 USD (4,300 CAD), with rent averaging $1,800 per month, typically paid annually. Utilities are quite reasonable, around $85 USD per month.
UK Average home is $400,000 but income is $35,000!
In the U.S., most homes range between $300,000 to $500,000, except in high-cost areas like California, New York, and Hawaii. A significant issue there is healthcare costs. For instance, my father, a small business owner earning $125,000 annually, managed his cancer treatments for 11 years through various insurance policies. The stress of handling the financial side of his health care was immense, and I only realized the full extent after seeing the paperwork.
In contrast, Canada faces its own financial pressures. With a minimum wage of $17.30, average rents around $2,000, and home prices between $700,000 to $800,000, it can be challenging for many. Utility costs often exceed $300 to $400 per month, adding to the financial strain for many Canadians.
CHECK OUT MY 2025 Predictions HEREWhat’s your predictions for real estate 2025?
Jan-March: an influx of inventory with reasonably priced homes selling fast and high priced stagnant, as these are the needy/greedy sales that reflect the "investments" and optimistic sales made in the last 2 years.
March-June with the height being in May-June, you will see the high-priced homes slowly come down.
June All time interest rate drops as see as low as 2.9% variable!
May-August: Rental home fees take a $200-$500 dip and come on as sales. This makes the market extremely competitive, with fewer buyers and more sellers.
This affects the outskirts of ALL larger cities as people move away.
June-September NEW HOME sales increase as people prefer to pay the same price for a New Home rather than an old, even refurbished home. This drives down older home sales in developing cities outside of larger cities.
August is a Drop in prices in older homes just slightly. And a surge of sales as people feel prices will not get lower.
Sept-Dec it levels off and I do not see many changes. Except for a lot of closing in Nov from all the Aug sales.
