Ontario Housing Trends, RECO Actions, and Interest Rate Outlook

E401 • Aug 15, 2025 • 13 mins

In this episode, we kick off with an introduction and a sponsor message from Real Approved Inc. We delve into the Real Estate Council of Ontario's recent actions affecting iPro Realty Ltd., with support from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board. We explore Ontario's housing market trends, including listings, sales, and price shifts, alongside RBC's market slowdown report. The Bank of Canada's interest rate decisions are analyzed, with insights into national and regional real estate dynamics. We wrap up with an outlook on Canadian interest rates, mortgage trends, and market competitiveness, followed by closing remarks and a sponsor reminder.

Key Points

  • The Real Estate Council of Ontario has taken control of iPro Realty Ltd. due to a significant cash shortfall in their trust accounts, affecting numerous agents and ongoing transactions.
  • Ontario is experiencing a surge in home listings, with over sixty-six thousand units currently available, but home sales have slowed, potentially offering more opportunities for buyers.
  • Nationally, the Canadian Real Estate Association reported a six point six percent increase in home sales for July, indicating a recovery in the housing market, although regional variations remain significant.
