Same thing here in Vancouver with foreign buyer taxes, and increased property taxes on luxury homes.

The current recovery in the Vancouver housing market is being driven in the affordable segments of the market, ie anything under $1M. As of the end of October there was just 3 months of inventory for homes priced below $1M in Greater Vancouver. Meanwhile, there is a glut of luxury homes sitting idle on the market, with 20 months of inventory for sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Per Bloomberg, wealthy homebuyers are finding global cities less welcoming and even hostile towards their cash.
