Housing crisis? There ain't no stinkn' housing crisis.

There is, however, an 'overabundance of stupid' crisis.

Mortgages are less than rent in most markets.

If you’re talking about a mortgage that was signed years ago, that’s definitely feasible. If you’re talking about a mortgage that would be starting right now, that would be abnormal. I don't know what "most markets" mean to you but I doubt you can show the numbers for any major Canadian city.

A property costing ~ 1MM starting on todays 4.5% rate means a monthly mortgage above 4.8k but will go for rent for about 3.7k
