    Episode # 21 Canadian Emigration: Record Numbers Leaving, Ontario Leading the Exodus

    In 2024, Canada experienced a significant increase in emigration, reaching levels not seen since 2017. Ontario accounted for nearly half of all departures, exceeding its proportion of the national population. Other provinces like British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec also saw emigration, but at lower rates. The rising cost of living and housing affordability issues are likely contributing factors, prompting both citizens and non-permanent residents to seek opportunities abroad. Alberta was the primary destination for those relocating within Canada, while Ontario experienced the biggest net loss in interprovincial migration. This trend indicates a growing number of Canadians, particularly Ontarians, are finding life outside of Canada more appealing.

    Epsisde #19 Toronto Condo Market: Price Drops and Future Projections.

    Bullpen Research & Consulting forecasts a continued decline in Toronto condo prices throughout 2025, impacting both developers and investors. The average asking price per square foot is expected to drop further, driven by competition with the resale market and challenges in investor profitability. Developers face difficulties as they compete with lower resale prices and potential financing issues for investors who purchased units at peak prices. Consequently, some developers consider converting projects to rentals. New condo sales plummeted in 2024, and the market is nearing recessionary territory. A recovery hinges on decreasing borrowing costs, alignment with resale market prices, and a reduction in new project completions to boost resale values, potentially starting in late 2026 or early 2027.
