Canadian real estate has allowed Canadians to make incredible profit by extracting the value of the home in the form of a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit). Coupled with extremely low interest rates and mortgage rates, you have a recipe for maximal debt expansion. Give people the ability to borrow money, and they most certainly will. This of course historically has never ended well and this time will be no different.
