Will Condo Prices Fall as Listings Hit Record High? + Impact of First Interest Rate Cut — Toronto & Vancouver Real Estate Roundtable June 2024
It’s the first summer episode for the Toronto-Vancouver real estate roundtable time with Urmi, Steve and John!
The weather may be jumping up, but the real estate markets remain sluggish - John and Steve take us through the latest stats and explain what is happening in the condo sector as listings hit a record high. Also: the first interest rate cut has finally dropped - how will it affect the market? Plus, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau admits that no one really wants home prices to fall — so how exactly is the government going to restore housing affordability for current and next generations?

Canada’s Massive Shortage of Family-Sized Homes + Is Canada’s Economy Going to Get a Lot Worse?
In this week’s episode, John Pasalis talks with Ben Rabidoux, founder of Edge Realty Analytics, which provides data and insights on Canadian housing and economic trends and more in-depth reporting on major metro-level trends in Vancouver and Toronto. Many real estate professionals consider Ben’s monthly research reports a can’t-miss read for good reason.
Ben shared his thoughts on why Canada’s economy is in worse shape than what the markets think. He also unpacks the massive shortage of family-sized homes, where he notes that Canada is starting only one new home for every 20 new people moving to Canada. Finally, Ben also discussed how a decline in Canada’s population growth rate and housing starts will impact the housing market in the months and years ahead.

An Abnormally Slow Spring Market + Is a Condo Sell Off Coming? — Toronto & Vancouver Real Estate Roundtable May 2024
It’s really springtime and we’re here with our May Toronto-Vancouver real estate roundtable with Urmi, Steve and John!
In what should normally be the busiest real estate market of the year, John and Steve explain slow conditions in Toronto and Vancouver - with some nuanced trends. Demand for low-rise homes is low but listings are only rising from a historic low, so it’s a bit of a stalemate still peppered with some bidding wars. On the condo side, listings are climbing - and new condo sales are way down, is this the start of a longer condo market dip? Also: how much have delayed interest rate cuts and revised forecasts calling for rates to stay higher longer impacting the market?

Why is My Pre-Con Condo Worth Less Than What I Paid? + Should I Sell My Investment Condo Before Capital Gains Tax Increases? — ‘The Situation’ Consumer Q&A
It’s time for our May ‘The Situation’ consumer Q/A segment!
Urmi once again asks John to respond to the detailed questions you send in about the real estate decisions you are making as you navigate through the Toronto area housing market.
Today, we hear from a frustrated owner of a pre-construction condo being appraised for less than what he paid for it, a second home owner who wonders if she reduce her taxes if her son lives in it and or sell it and a condo investor who worries about the impact of the capital gains tax increase.

Do Rent Controls Restrict The Supply of Rental Housing?: An Interview with Murtaza Haider
In today’s episode, John talks to Murtaza Haider about rent controls in Canada and their potential impact on rental supply. Murtaza is a professor of Data Science and Real Estate Management at Toronto Metropolitan University.
In the lively chat, we discuss why Ontario has seen very little growth in rental housing even though the new rental supply is not rent controlled. We also discuss the differences in approach to rental housing between North American and European economists and governments. North Americans lean more towards a free market approach to rental housing, while Europeans have coupled adequate rental supply while maintaining policies that protect tenants.
