1) Increased immigration to bring in more contributors to the tax pool
2) Housing supply opening up, so I think housing prices will be stable
I'm in the process of acquiring my first mortgage in Toronto, and really weighing my options hard for term and fixed/variable. I can't see the bond market drastically improving so fixed should go up (according to the economics I know), and I can't see banks passing on BOC savings to customers as they need to keep their margins high, so can't see that going down much either. I don't know though, so I'm wondering what others feel here?

I can't imagine buying into the Toronto/Vancouver housing markets right now
Not saying I know it's the wrong decision - but those prices are hard to explain
