Housing Market Bubble Are Spreading Rapidly

The effects of the burst Housing Market bubble are spreading rapidly to all Canada.

The value of Canadian building permits fell by 2.5 % in September from August as house-building intentions waned after two months of gains.

The drop follows a hefty 9.1 % rise in permits issued in August, revised from 8.3 %.

Residential permits slipped 3.8 %, their biggest decline since April, with the province of Ontario pulling down the national average with an 11.2 % tumble that was partly offset by strength in Western Canada.

Non-residential permits fell just 0.3 % in value. The value of office building permits in Ontario sank while industrial and institutional intentions remained strong.
