• "Canadians are buying homes at a blistering pace, binging on new debt. But all that cheap money can come at a high cost... Central bankers in the U.S. and elsewhere [have] indicated in recent months that once they decide it's time to begin raising interest rates, they may do so at a faster pace than consumers and investors are used to... [Meanwhile] novice buyers are jumping into surging real estate markets in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto with little understanding that the value of the asset they covet can disintegrate."
