Canadian Housing Trends, Interest Rates, and Toronto's Market Analysis

E303 • May 6, 2025 • 17 mins

In this episode, we begin with a welcome and introduction, followed by a sponsor message from Real Approved Inc. We explore interest rates and Canadian homebuyer trends, then gain housing market insights from Robert Kavcic. The discussion shifts to alternative homeownership approaches in Canada, Toronto home prices, and the Real Estate Board's April report. We examine preconditions for real estate market recovery and TD's condo price decline forecast. The Bank of Canada's interest rate strategy and new home construction targets in the GTA are also covered. We discuss the Sussman Mortgage Funding receivership, analyze Toronto's April home sales, and provide a Waterloo Region real estate update. Closing remarks and a sponsor message conclude the episode.

Key Points

  • High interest rates are causing a significant portion of Canadian homebuyers to delay their purchasing plans.
  • The Toronto housing market is seeing a shift towards a buyer's market with increased inventory and slight price drops.
  • Sussman Mortgage Funding Incorporated has been placed into receivership due to alleged financial misconduct, highlighting the importance of regulatory oversight in the mortgage industry.
