E470 • Oct 23, 2025 • 15 mins

The episode starts with an introduction and a comprehensive overview of the housing market, followed by a sponsor message from Real Approved Incorporated. It examines disparities and trends within the Canadian housing market, delving into economic contexts, interest rates, and supply issues. A real estate forecast highlights potential market opportunities. The episode also discusses EQB Incorporated's recent corporate changes and provides a regulatory update from FSRA concerning brokers and agents. It concludes with closing remarks.

Key Points

  • The Canadian housing market is experiencing significant regional disparities, with Ontario and British Columbia showing weakness while Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan demonstrate strength.
  • The Toronto condo market is shifting in favor of first-time buyers due to slower sales and rising listings, making condo ownership more attainable.
  • The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) has taken decisive action against several mortgage brokers and agents for regulatory breaches, emphasizing the importance of compliance and consumer protection.
