US Home Prices Are Up... ...and so is consumer confidence despite the Fed Stubbornly refusing to lower interest rates The U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) recent report shows that while home prices were down .2% in the month of May but they are up 2.8% between May 2024 and May 2025 Separately, The Conference Board reported that its consumer confidence index rose 2 points from 95.2 in June to 97.2 in July all the while the Fed once again refused to lower interest rates at their July meeting interestingly, there were several rate decreases before the Presidential election and zero reductions since that time read into that what you want what all of this means to me is that the bottom hasn't, and won't be, falling out on home prices home values are on track to be up the 3% in 2025 that I predicted here before the start of the year and it we ever see an interest rate reduction it will likely push home values a little higher as home buyers monthly payments become a little lower listen in to today's show for my analysis of what is happening now in these areas

Today, Move Smartly editor Urmi Desai discusses a key hot topic in Canadian real estate with co-host John Pasalis of Realosophy Realty in Toronto. In the last few years, we have been told by experts and advocates that removing all barriers to supply — including taxes, zoning and other government regulations — is the key to restoring housing affordability as builders will build, build, build enough homes to restore supply and demand balance — resulting in falling prices. But now that home prices and rents are finally falling in Ontario and BC, housing starts have come to a standstill. Why do we believe developers would keep building amidst falling prices?

Even with high interest rates, record-breaking mortgage renewals, a historic surge in pre-sale inventory, and the highest resale listings we've seen in over a decade, Vancouver real estate prices haven't crashed. Over the past 12 months, prices have only declined 2.8%, and though they're down 7% from the peak three years ago, they're still up 12% compared to five years ago.So, the obvious question is: Why?Why have home prices remained so stable—especially when consumer sentiment is low, lending standards are tighter than ever, and the economic outlook feels bleak? The answer lies in a series of critical financial indicators that reveal the underlying resilience of the Canadian housing market.Let's start with household net worth, which reached a record $17.7 trillion in Q1 2025, up 0.8% in the quarter and a staggering 82% over the last decade. Debt-to-disposable income has improved to 172%—a 10-year low—and the debt servicing ratio is down from last year's peak. Most significantly, Canada's asset-to-debt ratio now stands at $6.68 to $1, near all-time highs. This means Canadians, on average, hold six times more assets than they owe in debt.This growing wealth has profound implications. Over 50% of Vancouver homes are mortgage-free. And when sellers don't get their desired price, they're increasingly choosing to delist rather than drop their asking price. In May, delistings jumped 47% year-over-year. This is not a market where sellers are forced to capitulate—many are simply choosing to wait.That said, this resilience doesn't reflect the experience of younger Canadians. Homeownership remains elusive, and as Boomers eventually look to sell, there's real concern about whether younger buyers will have the purchasing power to step in—unless wealth starts being more evenly distributed.Even insolvency data suggests a market in transition. While consumer insolvencies fell 2.6% in May, they're still 7.6% higher than pre-pandemic levels. Business insolvencies are down 13.3% year-over-year, indicating stabilization, but we're far from robust economic health.And a deeper divide is growing. The Bank of Canada's latest vulnerability report shows the highest share of delinquent borrowers in a decade—now at 2.6%. People are skipping payments on retail installment loans, credit cards, and car loans before defaulting on their mortgage or HELOC. This reflects rising stress among middle-income Canadians, the group that drives the broader economy—and that stress is slowing GDP and pushing unemployment higher.Meanwhile, developers are facing their own struggles. But a recent win: the BC government now allows 75% of development fees to be deferred until occupancy, easing the upfront financial burden. In Burnaby, for example, that could mean deferring up to $375,000 on a sixplex—money that can be used to fund construction instead.This episode breaks it all down: the financial landscape, the market psychology, the policy shifts, and what it all means for buyers, sellers, renters, and developers. Whether you're navigating the market today or preparing for what's next—this is a must-watch.Subscribe for more Vancouver real estate insights, and don't forget to check the links in the description for how to connect with us directly! _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Sun Belt cities like Phoenix, Miami, and Dallas were once havens for affordable housing—now they're facing price surges that rival coastal metros. In this episode, we break down why home prices are rising fastest in the very places known for loose regulations and sprawl. The culprit?

From failed apartment projects in Texas to developers fleeing Arizona, we explore how the same anti-growth forces that stifled coastal cities are now spreading inland—and what that means for the future of housing in America.
