Episode 75: New Poll Reveals the Truth. Canadians Dreaming of a Home, Doubting Reality.
Send a text In Episode 75 of The Canadian Mortgage Show, we break down new Abacus Data polling that reveals a powerful shift in how Canadians feel about housing. The desire to own a home is still strong — 70% say they want to own someday. But confidence is collapsing. Only 29% of non-homeowners believe they will ever actually buy one. We unpack:• Why housing has become a crisis of confidence• Who Canadians blame for affordability issues• Whether government policies match the scale of the problem• Development charges and their impact on home prices• Why market housing affordability matters more than ever We also touch on how interest rates, immigration, infrastructure delays, and government programs have shaped today’s reality. This isn’t just opinion. It’s what Canadians themselves are saying. If you’re a first-time buyer, investor, renter, or homeowner — this episode matters. 🎙 Hosted by Alex Pang & Alex Shanks📊 Real data. Real conversation. No fluff.
