Toronto’s Housing Market Goes from Bad to Worse
Real Estate Raccoons
Oct 25, 2022
Toronto’s housing market appears to be in free fall, with prices dropping month-over-month and few buyers willing to take the plunge. Does this mean it’s a good time to invest in real estate in Toronto?
Or are there still risks involved? Let’s take a closer look.
Remember that while average sale prices have decreased, some neighbourhoods have seen more significant drops. So if you’re thinking of investing in Toronto real estate, it’s important to do your research first. That’s why you’re reading this blog, right?
And if you already own property here, make sure you stay up to date on market trends by following this blog so you don’t end up taking a bath on your investment.
The creator of Meta’s Oculus virtual reality headsets shredded Mark Zuckerberg’s version of the metaverse — arguing the platform is currently “terrible” and in need of an overhaul.
Palmer Luckey, who sold Oculus VR to Facebook for $3 billion and was later ousted by the company, compared Zuckerberg’s foray into the metaverse to a “project car” — a pet initiative requiring a massive investment with no guarantee that others will find it worthwhile.
“I don’t think it’s a good product. It’s not. It’s not fun, it’s not good,” Luckey said during an appearance at the Wall Street Journal’s Tech Live conference Monday. “I think actually most of the people probably on the team would agree that it’s not currently a good product. It’s like a project car.”
Under Zuckerberg’s direction, Meta has spent at least $15 billion to build its version of the metaverse — with little to show for its effort. Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported Meta has already cut user growth goals for its main metaverse platform, Horizon Worlds, due to sagging early results.

Conversions to multifamily are beginning to put a dent in office inventory in Dallas’ central business district, with more than 2M SF of vacant space coming off the market in the coming months.
Projects underway include the planned conversions of Bryan Tower, Renaissance Tower, Energy Plaza, Santander Tower and 501 Elm Place. Taken together, the projects will knock 6.5% off the CBD’s office vacancy rate, which sits at 31.6%, according to JLL.

Zillow has laid off about 300 employees as it is shifting focus toward technology-related positions in the company, TechCrunch has learned from sources and confirmed with the company over e-mail.
The Seattle-headquartered online real estate marketplace informed its impacted employees about the decision on Tuesday. Shortly after receiving the communication, the impacted employees had to leave the company. The layoffs impacted Zillow Offer advisors, PA sales and back-end staff at Zillow Home Loans and Zillow Closing Services, as well as other teams.
In November last year, Zillow announced that it would lay off a quarter of its staff — around 2,000 people — due to shutting down its home-buying service Offers that aimed to provide sellers with instant home offers. The company, at the time, had 8,000 employees.
Zillow has become one of the latest tech companies to lay off employees during this economic slowdown. Earlier this week, telehealth unicorn Cerebral reduced its workforce by 20% due to an ongoing push for efficiency. Companies including Netflix, Momentive Global, Spotify and Tencent have also made similar decisions recently. Similarly, Indian startups including Byju’s and Ola have let hundreds of employees go amid the downfall of funding and investments.
Canada’s housing market is expected to slow further with the Bank of Canada’s latest interest rate hike set to increase mortgage costs again. The typical selling price of a home across the country has dropped 9 per cent to $766,000 in September from $840,000 in February, according to CREA data. That marks the steepest decline since the global financial crisis when the typical home price fell 9.1 per cent from March of 2008 to March, 2009.
Scott Ingram, a realtor in the Toronto region, said Wednesday’s rate hike will contribute to the negative sentiment in the market. “There are more buyers who are out of the game now,” he said.
Mr. Ingram said would-be buyers are regularly making offers under the seller’s asking price.
That’s the spirit!
Canadian salaries must be really high to support those prices.
And the weather is sunny and warm 10-months of the year! 🙂
After betting big on self-driving cars — including $1 billion on soon-to-be shuttered startup Argo AI — Ford Motor Co. is softening its expectations on vehicles that don’t require drivers.
Ford executives on Wednesday said they were winding down their investment in Argo, which confirmed an earlier report of its plans to shut down, saying there were too many challenges to running a profitable network of fully self-driving vehicles anytime soon. That resulted in a $2.7 billion impairment on the startup, disclosed when Ford reported third-quarter results earlier in the day.
“We still believe in Level 4 autonomy, that it will have a big impact on our business of moving people,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said on the company’s earnings call, referring to cars that are autonomous enough not to need handling from a driver. “We’ve learned, though, in our partnership with Argo, and after our own internal investments, that we will have a very long road.”
“It’s estimated that more than $100 billion has been invested in the promise of Level 4 autonomy,” he continued. “And yet no one has defined a profitable business model at scale.”

Famous for its low-priced homes, the rust-belt town near the Russian border has become a much-discussed topic online after a 25-year-old woman, surnamed Zhao, revealed online last week her happiness after purchasing a local apartment for just 15,000 yuan.
Zhao had been renting an apartment in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province in eastern China, before she decided to take the plunge and move to downtown Hegang last year and bought the small second-hand apartment, she told the Star Video.
In comparison, the average house price in Nanjing was most recently valued at more than 32,000 yuan (US$4.460) for a single square metre, according to the real estate firm 5i5j. That means a flat of similar size as Zhao’s Hegang apartment would cost almost 100 times more to buy in Nanjing.
“It’s so cheap I can buy it without much effort, and I can decorate it according to my taste. I can live a life without the pressure of home loans,” she said.

Hitting a wall: San Antonio housing market slowing as inflation, rates and prices keep climbing
San Antonio Express-News|43 minutes ago
A year ago, buying a home in San Antonio required an “act now” approach. Now, it’s “wait and see.” After a record-setting run through the pandemic, San Antonio’s housing market is hitting a wall. With soaring mortgage interest rates and high prices pushing home ownership out of reach for more would-be buyers,

The company has drawn criticism from some investors lately over its large investment in its metaverse project, which has yet to deliver significant returns.
Brad Gerstner, whose fund Altimeter Capital holds hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Meta stock, sharply criticized the company’s strategy in an open letter this week.
“Meta has drifted into the land of excess – too many people, too many ideas, too little urgency,” Gerstner wrote. “This lack of focus and fitness is obscured when growth is easy but deadly when growth slows and technology changes.”
Gerstner called on the company to cut staffing costs by 20% and limit spending on its metaverse project to $5 billion per year. “Meta needs to get its mojo back,” he wrote.

The report from Meta arrives a day after Microsoft and Google-parent Alphabet announced lackluster quarterly earnings.
Microsoft’s revenue grew at its slowest pace in five years, sending shares in the company tumbling 6%. Alphabet, meanwhile, said its advertising sales rose at its lowest rate in nearly a decade.

Google’s main source of revenue. Many of it’s other projects are vanity projects, which could easily have their plugs pulled should funding dry up.
The economic slowdown has come for tech companies’ big cash cows: the cloud businesses that provide their clients with inexpensive computing power and applications.
On Tuesday, Microsoft reported that its all-important Azure cloud division will see slower growth than it expected this quarter. The same day, Google parent Alphabet reported that its Google Cloud Platform growth slowed from 44% in the third quarter 2021 to 37% in the third quarter.
Amazon is expected to report 33% growth in its AWS segment when it announces its earnings Oct. 27. That would mark a drop from the 39% growth it saw in the same quarter last year.

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Inflation is impacting everything from groceries to gas to building supplies, and the housing market is not immune to the changes. However, local realtor, Kayla Dalton, says the market is slowly stabilizing even though interest rates are still high.
Just a few months ago, it was nearly impossible to even look at a home because it’d be sold within hours of hitting the market. Now buyers can often get the home under list price and even ask the seller to pay down their interest rates.
Jim Rooney, chief executive of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, expressed skepticism about relying too heavily on reviving downtown via residential conversions. “I don’t hold out much hope for that, though I’m sure there are some [properties that could work],” Rooney said. “If it was financially feasible, we would already be seeing it happening.”
As with the Wu administration, the BID hopes to hold more event series that can draw crowds downtown and gradually change the area into a full-fledged neighborhood as opposed to a forest of office towers that goes dark on nights and weekends.
