Two back to back conversations with potential clients - one looking for super cheap condos in Yuzawa, and the other looking to demolish an old house and build a new one - what should they be thinking about and preparing for?

Toronto Real Estate Market Update — October (Episode 103)This week we break down the real story behind October's GTA numbers (spoiler: it wasn't doomsday). We cover where sales grew, which segments are stabilizing, why that viral “53 condo sales” headline was misleading, and what months of inventory say about the market heading into the holidays. Plus: Joey's four-day birthday, zombie wrestling at Superkick'd, a chef's-table feast at Giulietta, the Jays' wild run, and a surprising “news you can use” about the City planting free trees on your frontage.What you'll learn

Many wonder if condominium ownership is right for them. Kenneth Michaels, Jr., of Bauch & Michaels LLC, writes the Condominium Law FLASHPOINTS available at IICLE.com and, in this episode of Cornered: Out of Court, provides some key considerations for purchasers and associations.IICLE® is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit based in Springfield, Illinois. We produce a wide range of practice guidance for Illinois attorneys and other legal professionals in all areas of law with the generous contributions of time and expertise from volunteer attorneys, judges, and other legal professionals.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by Sarita Samaroo, real estate broker, investor, and founder of Property Investment Hub, to discuss her bold warning about Canada's housing market — and why she believes a major correction may be underway. Sarita and Brian break down the warning signs: rising mortgage delinquencies, power-of-sale listings, falling condo prices, and stalled new developments. They explore the ripple effects on homeowners, renters, and developers, and how policy, interest rates, and investor psychology are combining to reshape the market. She argues that what's happening isn't just a cyclical dip, but a structural shift — one that could reset affordability and investment strategies for years to come. We also discuss how investors can protect themselves, what opportunities might emerge from the downturn, and what governments should (and shouldn't) do next.

Send us a textWith Halloween right around the corner, in this episode of Take It To The Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger and Dee Smith from NatureZone, a family-owned and operated pest control company, peek into the spookier corners of community association life: the creepy crawlies that make residents shiver and board members squirm. Together, they take a peek into what really moves through condos and HOAs: bed bugs that hitchhike on luggage, roof rats that turn trees into launch pads, and subterranean termites—now including a Formosan–Asian hybrid—capable of eating your equity faster than you'd ever expect. You'll learn how bed bugs actually spread in multifamily buildings, why foggers make them worse, and a simple hotel routine that uses a hairdryer and a bathtub to stop hitchhikers. Donna and Dee break down drywood termite myths, explain why subterranean baiting like Sentricon changes the game after heavy rains and floods, and map the entry points rats love most—soffit gaps where gables meet hips, open AC chases, and lush landscaping pressed against stucco. They also talk compassion and safety: handling hoarding cases without letting infestations jump through chases, relocating honeybees while decisively removing aggressive wasps, and using greener, microencapsulated products and inert dusts for residents with chemical sensitivities.If you live in a condo, townhome, or HOA, this is your resident's guide and board playbook in one. Expect field-tested tips, from shaving “boots” on cabbage palms and keeping bird feeders off structures, to recognizing termite pellets and swarmer wings before repairs get ruinous. Conversation Highlights:The ultimate Halloween pest — which creepy crawler gives even the pros chills?The most common pests found in South Florida condominiums and HOAsWhy pests spread so rapidly in multifamily buildings compared to single-family homesWhen a small issue becomes a nightmare: how one infested unit can impact an entire buildingThe most unusual or memorable pest situations from real community casesSafe and eco-friendly pest control options for residents concerned about toxicityTenting vs. spot treatment: how effective are different approaches for drywood and subterranean termites?Preventative policies boards can adopt—from hygiene to landscaping—to stop infestations before they startPlants and trees to avoid: what attracts rodents to community landscapesDee's journey into pest control and what keeps her passionate about the fieldHow modern pest control has evolved with greener, less toxic technologiesPractical advice for boards developing or updating their community pest control plans Related Links and Resources:Article: Pest Control Company finds success through focusing on client retention, not revenuePest Control Resources: Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer ServicesPodcast: Pesky Critters in Your Community?

In late 2025, California's housing market is characterized by a forecast for increased home sales and inventory, a modest rise in median home prices, and continued affordability challenges, though buying conditions may be more favorable around mid-October due to an anticipated dip in mortgage rates and increased active listings.

About 2,500 newly built condos are sitting unsold and empty in Metro Vancouver, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. It says the number is double what it was last year. Brendon Ogmundson, chief economist for the B.C. Real Estate Association, discusses the state of B.C.'s condo market.

Two back to back conversations with new clients - both of them looking for a holiday home in Japan under 100,000 USD - what can they get, where can they get it, and what should they be watching out for?

In this episode of Livabl Launch, Matthew Slutsky sits down with Riz Dhanji, Founder and President of RAD Marketing, to talk about everything from Elton John buying at King Toronto to the state of Canada's pre-construction market. Riz shares the fascinating story behind Elton's purchase, underscoring the architectural significance of King Toronto and what it means for the city. The conversation dives into today's challenging housing market, where stalled launches and tightened financing are colliding with immigration. Riz explains why the next few years may bring little new supply, setting the stage for serious affordability issues by 2028 and beyond. He outlines the policy changes, such as lowering development charges, adjusting presale requirements, and rethinking restrictions on foreign buyers, that could help unlock the hundreds of thousands of units already zoned and ready to build. Riz also gives insight into the changing buyer profile, with end users and long-term investors now driving demand, and how marketing strategies must adapt. From building full model suites to rethinking unit sizes, RAD Marketing's approach blends bold creative with disciplined sales execution. Whether discussing opportunities in Calgary or strategies for Toronto, Riz makes clear that adapting to today's realities will be critical for both developers and buyers looking ahead.

In this episode of The Missing Middle, Mike Moffatt and Sabrina Maddeaux dig into the rise of shrinkflation, from grocery store products like cereal and Kraft Dinner to Canada's shrinking condos, and reveal how companies, developers, and government policies are quietly giving Canadians less for more. From deceptive packaging and behavioral economics tricks to the rise of shoebox condos and poor layouts, we explore how rising costs, investor-driven development, and flawed housing policies are reshaping everyday life. If you've ever wondered why your groceries don't stretch as far or why today's apartments feel more like closets than homes, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Chapters00:00 Introduction01:08 Understanding shrinkflation02:54 Sabrina's a KD fangirl - who knew?05:12 The economics behind shrinkflation07:22 Price anchoring explained08:25 The shrinking size of living spaces11:52 Why are units getting so much smaller?15:39 What's driving bad design?18:02 Generational perspectives on housing preferences19:22 Constrained optimization explained21:26 Is the investor condo market dead?23:30 Policy changes to combat shrinkflationresearch/links:Working paper Mike refers to: Shrinkflation∗https://drive.google.com/file/d/15tpbhBziggFL-RvjlVgjqBQcNXzcIrWh/viewCondo size datahttps://www.mpac.ca/en/News/PressRelease/spacioushomescompactcondosMPACdatarevealsshiftinghousingtrendsacrossOntario The condo crash won't fix our housing problem.

In this episode, Don and Tom dig into the podcast rankings to explain why Talking Real Money isn't at the top—and why Dave Ramsey still is, despite offering more shame than substance. They explore the concept of financial shaming vs. education, reflect on listener Judy's brilliant retirement planning, and take aim at stock-trading politicians, especially California Rep. Ro Khanna with his 4,700+ trades in one year. Listener questions cover inheritance allocation, condos as investments, and 401(k) vs. Roth vs. brokerage savings.

Stable value funds are a staple in many 401(k) plans, offering principal protection and steady returns by investing in high-quality bonds. They're particularly popular with participants nearing retirement who want to reduce market risk while still earning a competitive yield. But recent market conditions and interest rate changes have raised new considerations for these low-risk options.In this episode of the 401(k) Specialist Podcast, Matt Condos, Senior Vice President of Retirement Plan Services Product Solutions at Lincoln Financial, provides insights on stable value's role in today's retirement landscape, how it compares to money market funds during periods of rising interest rates, and the contract features—like put provisions—that plan sponsors and advisors need to understand. He also examines evolving product designs aimed at improving liquidity and transparency while still offering the stability participants expect.Three Key InsightsUnderstanding Put Provisions and Liquidity NeedsAdvisors and plan sponsors must understand put provisions, which delay withdrawals during plan-level changes. With increased scrutiny on liquidity, new short-duration stable value products with transparent crediting rates are emerging to offer flexibility without sacrificing security.Stable Value Funds Offer Long-Term StabilityStable value funds continue to play a critical role in retirement portfolios by providing principal protection and steady returns—especially during times of market volatility. Participants nearing retirement particularly value the stability and predictable growth these products offer.Misconceptions vs. Money Market FundsAlthough money market funds can temporarily outperform stable value funds when short-term rates spike, stable value typically outpaces money markets over the long term. Their ability to amortize rate changes and invest further along the yield curve offers strategic advantages.The views expressed are those of the speaker/writer and not necessarily those of any Lincoln Financial® affiliate.

What would you do if your boss told you to reschedule your wedding? For today's guest, that was the push he needed to leave Wall Street and build a real estate empire.In this episode, Sayam Ibrahim reveals how one outrageous request from his boss pushed him to quit corporate life.

Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 3204: Buying a condo may seem like an affordable entry into real estate investing, but Christina Browning highlights the hidden challenges from unpredictable HOA fees and changing rental rules to deferred maintenance and limited flexibility that can jeopardize your financial independence plans. This eye-opening guide helps investors understand the risks behind the lower price tag, so they can make smarter, more resilient property decisions. Listen in to gain clarity on whether a condo truly aligns with your long-term wealth-building goals. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.ourrichjourney.com/post/are-condos-a-bad-real-estate-investment-for-financial-independence Quotes to ponder: "Rules can change. These changes could include all sorts of intrusive things, like prohibiting a certain percentage of renters in the condominium or barring you from running your condo as an Airbnb." "If other condo owners aren't paying their HOA fees, this is going to impact the property. It can affect the resale of your home." "Compared to single-family homes, condominiums typically drop in price first. Not only that, but the prices of condos generally take longer to recover."

Take It To The Board host Donna DiMaggio Berger and Christina Labuzetta, owner of Location Resources and member of the Location Managers Guild International, pull back the curtain on the fascinating world of location scouting for private residences and communities.  For association boards and homeowners contemplating this unique revenue opportunity, Donna and Christina walk through the entire process: from initial scouting photos to contracts, logistics, and the potential earnings.

As Christina notes, it becomes "the cocktail party factor"—something residents can point to with pride and interest for years to come.Whether you're a board member or manager looking for alternative revenue sources for your community, a property owner curious about monetizing your space, or you are simply fascinated by film production, this episode offers valuable insights into what happens when Hollywood comes knocking.  Conversation Highlights Include:Types of productions that typically use private residences and buildings-you'd be surprised how many are out thereWhat features or amenities make a property stand out to location scouts?
