7II. GLOBAL HOUSE PRICES AT THE MACRO LEVEL
Are these house price developments a
cause for cheer or concern?
 Evidence from house price valuation measures—price-
to-rent and price-to-income ratios—is mixed.
 Price-to-rent ratio: compares the total costs of
homeownership vs. the cost of renting a similar
property
 Price-to-income ratio: basic affordability measure for
housing in a given area
8III. GLOBAL HOUSE PRICES AT THE MICRO LEVEL
In most OECD countries house price-to-
rent ratios remain above their historical
averages …

purchase a property with as little as 5% deposit, the
loan is interest-free for the first 5 years.
 Fund for Lending is a scheme that is supposed to
increase credit supply by providing lenders with cheap
funds in return for commitments to lend to businesses
and households.

Canada: policies to cool the housing
market

Implemented in 2008:
 Limits on LTV ratio: a cap on the size of a
mortgage loan relative to the value of a property,
thereby imposing a minimum down payment
 Cap on DTI ratio: restrict the size of a mortgage
loan to a fixed multiple of household incomes,
thereby containing unaffordable and
unsustainable increases in household debt.
IV. EXAMPLE OF POLICIES USED IN THE HOUSING MARKET
…but house prices and house price
valuation measures continue to rise
 “Canada’s house prices are bubbly,” according to The
Economist.
 "A more thorough analysis of home price sustainability must
also take into account demographics," [the National Bank]
said. "For that reason,(…) the Canadian housing market will
do better than what many observers expect (…)."
