In Episode 84 of The Canadian Mortgage Show, Alex Pang and Alex Shanks break down why Canada’s housing market still feels stuck despite a few signs of movement.
They discuss Ontario’s $8.8B plan to cut municipal development charges, the HST rebate impact on new builds, why some developers may be pocketing the savings, and what this really means for buyers. They also look at weak GTA pricing, falling rents, the disappearance of the mom-and-pop investor, and why buyers in some markets finally have leverage again.
On top of that, they dive into Canada’s broader economic picture, including job growth, capital flight, Nicola Wealth’s real estate issues, Canada Post restructuring, and whether government spending plans will actually improve the country’s long-term outlook.
If you want honest Canadian real estate and economic commentary without the fluff, this episode is for you.
