E135 • Nov 16, 2024 • 27 mins

In this episode, we kick off with a welcome and sponsor introduction, then dive into national home sales and market recovery insights. We cover market dynamics like new listings, average sale prices, and mortgage arrears. The conversation touches on mortgage renewal challenges, financial institution support, and projections for the mortgage market. We discuss rule adjustments amid rising delinquencies and Trump's potential impact. The episode also covers Ontario's real estate outlook, realtor dynamics, rent cashback, foreign investments, and the renting vs. homeownership debate in retirement. We spotlight the Home of the Week, affordable housing developments, and conclude with regulatory updates and a sponsor message from Real Approved.

Key Points

  • National home sales surged by 30 percent in October, indicating a significant market shift after a period of stagnation.
  • Mortgage arrears in Toronto are expected to rise due to financial strain from higher interest rates and increasing non-mortgage credit delinquencies.
  • The construction of new affordable homes at 230 Coxwell Avenue aims to provide housing solutions for Indigenous Peoples facing homelessness in Toronto.
