Windsor Economy, Lower Rates, and Federal Housing Proposals

E271 • Apr 2, 2025 • 12 mins

In this episode, we start with a warm welcome and an overview of today's topics, followed by a sponsor message from Real Approved Inc. We delve into the impact of US tariffs on Windsor's economy and discuss how lower interest rates are affecting homeowners in the area. The conversation then shifts to the role of mortgage brokers amid economic instability. We explore current trends in the Calgary real estate market and examine housing proposals related to the federal election. We also highlight the recent partnership between CIBC and Longhouse Capital. The episode wraps up with closing remarks and a sponsor message.

Key Points

  • Windsor's economic outlook is uncertain due to potential new U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports, but the prospect of lower interest rates could stimulate the mortgage market.
  • Calgary's real estate market is seeing a notable decline in home sales and a surge in new listings, signaling a shift towards balanced market conditions.
  • Federal housing proposals in Canada are drawing from historical wartime strategies to address current housing challenges, with a focus on affordability and strategic government land use.
