Mortgage Rates, Tariff Impacts, and Ontario Real Estate Leadership Update
In this episode, we begin with a welcome and introduction, followed by a sponsor mention from Real Approved Incorporated. We provide an overview of mortgage rates, comparing fixed and variable options. The discussion shifts to Canada's economic outlook, with a focus on the potential threats posed by U.S. tariffs. We examine how these tariffs could impact Canada and its real estate market. An update on the leadership changes within the Ontario Real Estate Association is also featured. The episode concludes with closing remarks and a reminder of our sponsor.
