    S11E5 | Market Trends for Buyers in Today's Market | The REAL Collective Podcast

    S11E5 | Market Trends for Buyers in Today's Market | The REAL Collective Podcast

    This week our hosts delve into market trends for buyers in today's market.

    Sean Tasse (Broker) and Kyle Miller (Mortgage Agent) begin the episode by discussing a recent chart on the current housing supply deficit in Canada. (Click here to view the chart: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1baufQ4tYgr_2SR6Pt9JzGxRg8wJMY-7a/view?usp=sharing) This is the ratio of growth in working-age population to housing starts in Canada. Although the government has recently been focusing on building more homes faster, in Q1 of 2024, this number hit a new record. What does this mean for buyers in Canada, and what will happen with the pent up demand? Our hosts discuss!

    In the second half Sean and Kyle share some recent behind the scenes stories to highlight what's currently happening in the market for buyers and investors. The market is picking up and multiple offers are common-place for well priced properties.
