Episode 59: Why Pre-Sales Stalled (and What Could Fix It) | Brendon Ogmundson, BCREA
Send us a text BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson joins Alex Pang and Alex Shanks to unpack the real state of BC housing: the surprising 2025 sales slowdown and rebound pockets, why pre-sales are struggling, and the capital problem behind our 600k-homes target. We dig into foreign-buyer rules (and the “Australia model”), REITs vs. rents, development charges and permitting bottlenecks, mass-timber/missing-middle solutions, and practical policy tweaks—like easing the stress-test buffer and giving buyers flexible amortizations. Brendon also shares a data-driven outlook on rates, prices, and regional divergence heading into 2026. If you work in real estate—or you’re trying to buy, hold, or build—this one is required listening.

Episode 58: Canada Housing Check: Prices, Rates, Incentives & Real Case Studies
Send us a text Canada’s housing story is shifting fast. We open on why thousands of new condos are sitting unsold in the Lower Mainland and what that means for pricing power, then dig into a surprising stat: in Ottawa, monthly ownership costs can now beat renting (yes, really). We also tackle what’s next for mortgage rates, why many landlords are dangling incentives, and how to use a refinance-then-buy strategy to upgrade in today’s buyer’s market—without blowing up your cash flow. Finally, we share real client case studies (wins and watch-outs) and a practical checklist you can use before you make your next move.
