School’s back in session and so are we - it’s time for our September Roundtable with Urmi, John and Steve!
John and Steve take us through the latest stats and explain flat market conditions in Toronto & Vancouver and how falling interest rates and a softening economy will impact markets. We also discuss softening rental markets across Canada as the drop in foreign students is felt and revisit why demand has been the overlooked factor in our housing crisis. Also: What is the underlying factor driving the global housing affordability crisis?

In 2020 Move Smartly host John Pasalis raised an important concern about Toronto’s pre-construction condominium market – that investors were paying a very high price when compared to what existing units were selling for. What would happen if those units were not worth what the investors paid for them when they were done?
Many of those units are now completed, and in many cases, they are not worth what investors paid. But why are we not hearing about distressed investors who can’t get a mortgage because they overpaid for their condos?
In today’s episode, John asks if our government and big banks are propping up these condo investors to prevent condo prices from falling.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

As they head off low polling numbers ahead of next year’s election, Canada’s governing Liberals have released a federal budget largely focussed on Canada’s housing availability and affordability crisis. Urmi and John discuss the background and efficacy of the many measures proposed including: subsuming immigration policy and targets to housing realities, an increased capital gains tax that will hit some housing investors, an extended ban on foreign buyers, and a pile of supply-side policies that is aimed at yielding a net 2 million new homes by 2031. What - if anything - will actually work?

It’s Toronto-Vancouver real estate roundtable time with Urmi, Steve and John!
After the egg hunts, we’re left in that weird grey area, both weather-wise and in our real estate markets - John and Steve take us through the latest stats and on the ground realities. Also: when will interest rates start to fall and how will this impact the market and investors? Plus, the Liberal federal government, in full election mode, are now throwing around out policy announcements every day - which ones, from reductions in non-permanent resident numbers to a new renter bill of rights will actually make a difference?

We are back with our popular consumer Q/A segment, ‘The Situation’!
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 family who wonders if they should take advantage of the opportunity to buy the home they are renting from their landlord, a reluctant investor who wonders whether he should rent out his newly built condo or sell it and a home owner who wonders whether garden suites/laneway homes add value to a property?
