Here’s a clean summary chart of how home prices have changed over the last ~2 years in Toronto, Vancouver, and Miami (Florida): According to Gemina AI
| City / Metro | Approx. Price Change (Last ~2 Years) | Trend Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Vancouver, BC | ↓ ~5% to ↓ ~12% (from recent peaks) | Moderate decline overall; market softened but less than Toronto. |
🥇 1. Naples – Southwest Florida
| es. |

| Miami, FL | ↓ ~2% to ↓ ~4% (modest) | Mild softening/mostly flat; price declines are small compared with Canadian citi |
Last year, while visiting Toronto, I looked at the condo prices and said to my family, “These prices can’t hold. They will collapse.”
According to AI
| Toronto, ON | ↓ ~15% to ↓ ~25%+ (from recent peaks) | Significant correction — prices well off peak and continuing downward pressure. |
Today, we’re seeing exactly that.
The same pressure is building in Vancouver, across Florida, and in many Western cities where property values have detached from rental reality.
My Simple “Acid Test” for Real Estate Developed over 50 years of buying and selling real estate.
It’s straightforward:
Can I buy a two- or three-bedroom property and rent it for positive cash flow?
If the answer is no, the market is usually near the end of its cycle.
When investors rely solely on appreciation — not income — the risk increases dramatically. High prices, weak rental returns, rising taxes, insurance spikes, and economic uncertainty create pressure. Eventually, something gives.
So here is the question:
Should you be buying more — or should you be selling?
A Strategic Shift for Seniors with $250,000+ in Equity
If you’re 55+ and sitting on $250,000 or more in property equity, this may be the moment to rethink your strategy.
Instead of holding overpriced real estate that produces little or negative income…
Consider repositioning into a market where:
Properties generate positive cash flow
Demand is rising
Supply is tightening
Lifestyle costs are dramatically lower
Rental demand remains strong
That market is Bali.
Why Bali Is Different
In Bali:
Two- and three-bedroom villas regularly produce positive rental income
Tourism demand continues to grow
International lifestyle buyers are increasing
Land supply in key areas is shrinking
Entry prices are still accessible compared to Western cities
This combination — growing demand + limited supply + positive cash flow — is the foundation for long-term appreciation.
That is the perfect scenario.
The Lifestyle Advantage

For seniors, Bali offers more than yield:
Lower cost of living
Warm climate year-round
Strong expat community
High-quality private healthcare
Full-service villa management available
You can sell in an overheated Western market…
Unlock your equity…
Purchase a high-quality villa…
And still have capital remaining.
The Question to Ask Yourself
Run the asset test on your current property:
Does it produce positive cash flow?
Are insurance and taxes rising?
Is rental demand softening?
Is appreciation slowing?
If the numbers don’t make sense anymore, it may be time to consider selling at strength — and repositioning into a market built on income, not speculation.
For those with $250,000+ ready to deploy, Bali is no longer just a holiday destination.
It’s a strategic wealth and lifestyle move.
