E344 • Jun 16, 2025 • 12 mins

In this episode, we commence with a welcome and introduction, followed by a sponsor message from Real Approved Incorporated. We delve into the rising mortgage delinquencies and their economic implications, examining trends in mortgage renewals, amortizations, and rate preferences. We discuss homeowners' financial strategies in the current market and consider debt and affordability challenges facing different generations. Recent home sales data and market trends are analyzed, along with predictions for the housing market leading into 2025. Insights into the condominium market in major cities are provided before the episode concludes with closing remarks and a sponsor reminder from Real Approved Incorporated.

Key Points

  • Mortgage delinquencies in Canada are rising, with Ontario seeing a significant increase from 0.13% to 0.20%, amid economic uncertainties and a jobless rate of 7.0%.
  • Homeowners are preparing for potential increases in monthly payments by tightening budgets, delaying renovations, and considering fixed-rate mortgages for stability.
  • Toronto and Vancouver's condo markets are experiencing a drop in demand while supply increases, potentially leading to an oversupply situation that could affect rental prices and market stability.
