Episode 221: Variable Mortgages, Housing Taxes, and Canada's Construction Outlook

In this episode, we kick off with a sponsor message from Real Approved Inc. and dive into the resurgence of variable-rate mortgages, balancing savings and risks. We discuss policy rate reductions, mortgage penalties, and options for risk-averse borrowers. We also explore Canada's construction sector growth, building permit forecasts, and the impact of tariffs on home prices. Aument Capital's Middle East expansion is highlighted, along with housing market taxes and proposed reforms. Finally, we address strategies to build 1.5 million homes by 2031 and a local Hespeler land severance story with broader implications.
