Canada’s housing market looks calm on the surface — but underneath, pressure is quietly building.
In Episode 72 of The Canadian Mortgage Show, Alex Pang and Alex Shanks break down the real data behind falling home prices, collapsing condo development, rising household debt, and why affordability still isn’t improving for most Canadians.
They cover:
Why new condo construction is drying up across the GTA and Metro Vancouver
The truth about mortgage renewal shock and why it wasn’t as bad as predicted
Why renting vs buying isn’t as simple as the math suggests
How rising vacancy rates could change rents in 2026
Why Canada likely won’t allow a U.S.-style housing crash
What open banking could mean for mortgages, lending, and consumer power
The hidden risks inside real estate investment funds
How lifestyle inflation quietly traps high-income earners
This episode isn’t about hype or fear — it’s about understanding where the Canadian housing market is actually heading and how to make smarter decisions in an uncertain economy.
