Canada in general has seen a rise in housing costs. I have thought about this a great deal much of it has to do with increased leverage in financing so you have more debt less equity all over the world. Vancouver has a double problem but she is a port and she is growing internally.

It is a difficult market short play at least to me as the debt is held by banks that are world based. Not quite so simple as a local S&L bail out.

It could very well be that US rates increase but so do the dollars that the FED prints. So you have deflation of US $.

Then the question becomes if Asia has grown enough to absorb product surplus. It is a little bit more complicated than that as China should soon experience labor inflation.
