2015年温哥华房地产购买力在国际调查中成为11年来排名最差，而且也是入榜全球购买力最差前十名中加拿大唯一一个城市。

根据一份主要房地产市场报告指出，仅次于中国香港，温哥华成为世界城市房价排名最难负担排名第二的城市。

经济学家表示，如果抵押贷款的利率上升，温哥华业主将有麻烦。加拿大资本经济学家David Madani说道，鉴于温哥华房价和家庭收入对比较高，如果抵押贷款的利率小幅上升，那对人们住房购买力将是一次巨大的冲击。

美国市场研究公司Demogrphia年度发布的《全球住房可负担性调查报告》中纳入了加拿大，美国，澳大利亚，中国，爱尔兰，日本，新西兰，新加坡和英国等国家作为调查对象。该调查报告以房价中位数与家庭收入中位数做比较，房价和家庭年收入对比越高，住房价格越令人无法负担。

在温哥华，平均房价比收入中位数高出10.6倍，使2014年成为调查进行11年来温哥华的房价可负担能力排名最糟糕的一年。2013年时房产价格比收入高约为10.3倍。而在多伦多，去年的平均房价比收入中位数高出约6.5倍。

Vancouver’s affordability ranking in 2015 is the worst it has ever been in the international survey’s 11-year history — and it's the only Canadian city to make the top 10.

Vancouver is the second most unaffordable housing market in the world after Hong Kong, according to a new study of major property markets.

That could spell trouble for homeowners if mortgage rates rise, economists say. “Given how high house prices are relative to household incomes, you’d only have to see a moderate increase in mortgage rates to have a really huge hit to affordability,” said David Madani, Canada economist at Capital Economics.

The annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey ranks real estate markets in Canada, the United States, Australia, China, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

The survey calculates affordability by comparing median house prices with median incomes — the higher home prices relative to incomes, the more unaffordable the market.

In Vancouver, median home prices were 10.6 times higher than median incomes in 2014. That’s the worst affordability ranking Vancouver has ever received in the survey’s 11-year history, and an increase from 2013 when prices were about the 10.3 times higher than incomes.

In Toronto, median home prices were about 6.5 times higher than median incomes last year.
