Re:Canada to ban foreigners from buying homes by kelnos on Friday April 08, 2022 @01:07AM (#30953513)
Unless potential sellers are leaving the country or are choosing to rent after they sell, wouldn't more sellers also increase the number of buyers (because those sellers have to live somewhere else after they sell), and it all will end up being a wash?

(And if they are choosing to rent after they sell, that just shifts unaffordable home prices to unaffordable rents, as rental demand increases without a corresponding increase in supply.)
