True capitalist economies see housing prices collapse regularly, as a part of market efficiencies. To find “Value” in the system “They” will trigger a recession whether you want it or not. If you can weather not having a tenant for six months then good for you. I imagine that isn’t even close to the case for the majority of landlords in the city. Even if the housing was to magically correct itself the rent would still continue to rise exponentially as the demand will only rise as people scramble to offload their properties that are heavily under water.
Torontonians are reaching their credit limit, a lot of people are already tapped out with no more room. It’s a very sad situation, I believe the landlords already are aware of this however this does not mean they will take on a rational decision to halt rent increases. Like in Hong Kong and London UK, multiple people to a single bedroom and living room turned into a bedroom is on the Horizon for Toronto. The 1.78 debt to disposable income has been surpassed, it’s an old figure. We all need to pressure our local jurisdiction to built government housing, a simple email to your local rep is easy to do.

House Price To Income Ratio
This three-part series examined the characteristics of home buyers and the properties they purchased from January 1 to December 31, 2018, with a focus on Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and British Columbia. In the Vancouver census metropolitan area , the median PIR was 7.4, considerably higher than the Halifax and Moncton CMAs, where the PIRs were less than 3. Additionally, as shown in Map 1, census subdivisions that are closer to the core of the largest CMAs had a higher median PIR compared with CSDs that were farther from the cores in both British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

But during the peak of the Toronto housing bubble in 1989, mortgage payments as a percentage of median family income were about 50%. Going forward, interest rates aren’t likely to increase in the short term in Canada. But when interest rates rise, housing affordability will be squeezed because more of a family’s income will go towards mortgage payments and other interest costs. Saying Canadian home prices are frothy, is like saying Mozart had a little musical talent.
