Episode 68: Population Shrinking + Jobs Drying Up… What Happens Next?

Send us a text Canada’s inflation held at 2.2%—but coffee is up 33% and groceries are still squeezing households. We break down whether this is true inflation or price gouging in a market dominated by a few major players. On housing: November sales dipped, fixed rates have stayed stubborn, and banks are now shrinking variable-rate discounts—a signal worth paying attention to. We also talk about where different regions sit from peak prices, and why inflation-adjusted home values are trending back toward 2017 levels. Plus: vacancy rates rising in BC (hello renters’ market), job-market pressure building (and why trades may be the next wealth path), Ford’s EV pivot, and the latest on BC land-title financing concerns.

Episode 67: Bank of Canada Paused… So Why Are Fixed Rates Back Over 4%?

Send us a text Bank of Canada held the policy rate at 2.25%—but bond yields jumped and 5-year fixed rates climbed back above 4%. We break down why the latest “strong” jobs data may be seasonal noise (part-time youth jobs + people stopping the job search), what that means for variable vs fixed, and why fear-based mortgage advice is dangerous. Plus: falling rents, rising insolvencies, massive Toronto development charges, foreign capital talk, and a warning for anyone trying to “flip” presales in 2026.  Podcast Social Links:Website: https://canadianmortgageshow.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/canadianmortgageshow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianmortgageshow/ Follow Our Hosts:Alex Pang Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alexpangmortgage/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpangmortgage/ Alex Shanks Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mortgagemanagement/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexshanksmortgagemanagement/
