It couldn't possibly last forever, could it? We're not going to see homes go back to the value of what they were in, say, 2005, 2010, 2015 what?

Regardless of what the bank of Canada does tomorrow, many borrowers, especially those that got a mortgage in 2020 or later and decided to take a fixed payment variable rate mortgage and if you don't know you need...
