In this episode, we sit down with Elly Cummings from New American Funding to break down what the mortgage world might look like in 2026. If you're wondering where interest rates, home prices, and the market are headed, this conversation is for you. Elly shares why a roughly 6% rate in 2026 isn't the doom-and-gloom headline it's made out to be and why focusing on affordability, not chasing the perfect rate, is what actually matters. We also get into inflation, the impact a new Fed chair could have, and which economic clues are worth paying attention to. Thinking about buying instead of renting? Elly explains why waiting could mean paying more later, especially with prices still rising and spring competition heating up. We also talk through tools like temporary buy-downs and how they can help you lock in a payment that fits your life. If you're planning to buy, refinance, or just want to feel more confident heading into 2026, this episode is full of practical insights you can actually use. Let's dive in!

For years, one of the driving narratives in Canadian real estate was deceptively simple: population growth equals home-price growth. Between 2021-2023, that tailwind was unmistakable — massive immigration, booming temporary residents, and a swelling demand for housing fueled price rises across the country. But that story is now changing. The latest federal budget from Ottawa projects zero population growth for the first time in modern history — a signal that the era of “Demographic Alpha” may be over.In British Columbia, the October numbers underscore the shifting landscape. Home sales across the province dropped by 10% year-over-year, with only 6,370 units sold, yet the average price ticked up to $987,600 (a modest 0.8 % increase). At first glance, that may seem counter-intuitive—especially given the drop in the Greater Vancouver region, where prices actually fell 3.4%. What it reveals is a province where local dynamics are diverging: outside the Lower Mainland some markets are still inching up.Nationally, every province except Ontario is showing year-over-year price increases. Ontario is down about 2.9%, even though pockets within have seen drops of 30 % or more. Two regions — Newfoundland and the Northwest Territories — are up more than 10%. So while the broader narrative remains “prices rising,” it's the hyper-local story that matters.Let's go back to population. For decades, Canadian real estate bulls pointed to one immutable fact: we kept growing. New people meant new renters, new buyers, new demand — the structural scarcity argument. But Ottawa's policy shift is turning the page. Between 2020 and 2024, population growth was arguably the strongest single driver of housing returns: it boosted rentals, shortened vacancy, supported pre-construction profits. Now the federal government's reduced intake of permanent and temporary residents is removing that force. Growth dropping from 3% to near zero rewrites the math of valuations.The consequences are broader than real estate: GDP growth in recent years has largely been powered by population expansion. With shrinking labour-force growth and rising youth and newcomer unemployment already flagged by the Bank of Canada, housing demand will be impacted. In effect, immigration policy is now acting as a rate hike — cooling demand without touching interest rates. For investors and developers, the easy “demographic premium” is gone.Condo starts continue to collapse. New sales of condo units have tanked, and about 18 months later condo starts follow that trajectory. We're seeing new-home construction at 15-year lows, fewer jobs in building trades, fewer units coming to market. And then there's the demographic domino effect.So what does this all mean for you—or for anyone who's betting on real estate? The thesis of perpetual population-driven housing demand is under threat. Scarcity is no longer guaranteed. The fundamentals are shifting: slower growth means slower demand, longer lease-ups, muted appreciation. For developers, investors and agents alike: adaptation is key. The era of demographic tailwinds is fading. The question now is: who will stay ahead in the new chapter? _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Conventional wisdom always said, it's never a bad idea to buy property. So what changed? In addition to small sizes and shoddy quality, condo sellers now have to contend with units being worth less than their mortgages.Lori Wilson reads No One Wants to Buy a Condo  About AMIAMI is a not-for-profit media company that entertains, informs and empowers Canadians who are blind or partially sighted.

The realities of a housing market correction are setting in. This could be the turning point for real estate that investors (and homebuyers) have been waiting for. Are you ready? We're back with our November housing market update, giving you the latest data on home prices, housing inventory, days on market, affordability, and where (and what) are the best opportunities for investors. Sellers are growing increasingly desperate as the buyer's market shifts further toward the investor's side. And, with the seasonally slow winter months coming up, this could be the perfect moment to strike a deal.  There's even better news to come. New affordability measurements are showing what most Americans thought impossible: an improvement in housing affordability. Could this set us on a trend where buying a home (at least temporarily) becomes affordable, and makes deals more profitable for investors? Dave lays it all out in today's show!

Michael breaks down a new data point from the National Association of Realtors: the median age of U.S. home buyers has climbed to 59. He explores what's driving the shift—from affordability crises to shifting priorities—and examines new proposals like 50-year mortgages and portable home loans. Plus, how America's housing shortage ties into mental health, generational trends, and global comparisons. It's all the basis for today's Smerconish.com Poll Question, which asks "Why has the median age for U.S. homebuyers risen to 59 - Affordability, or Shifting Priorities?" Listen here, and then vote!

SHOW NOTES: Hey, everyone! With the seasonal craziness upon us, it feels like we're cramming more stuff into the same schedule. Join us this week as we share how to get your house in order, keep it in tip-top shape through the winter, and prepare for spring with these time-saving tips: - Caulking for Winter Protection: We share why checking and sealing your exterior caulking now is crucial to prevent energy leaks, energy loss, and sky-high heating bills this winter. - Transforming Your Garage into a Workshop: Learn how to convert that chilly, cluttered garage into a warm, usable workspace by winterizing appropriately and making specific upgrades. - Understanding the Housing Market Crunch: We dig into the current real estate affordability crisis and discuss the “golden handcuffs effect.” While high rates and surging prices make affordability a challenge, buyers are gaining slightly more negotiating power. - Preparing Your Appliances and Fireplace for the Holidays: Before Thanksgiving, we give tips on how to give your dishwasher a deep clean. For your fireplace, ensure your chimney has been professionally inspected and swept, and check for debris like nests before starting it up for the season.   Q & A: - Scott in Florida wants to swap the location of the shower and toilet in his first-floor master bathroom, but we advise against it since moving plumbing drains in a concrete slab requires massive construction. The better solution is to make the existing shower smaller and convert that wasted space into a storage closet. - Amy in South Dakota observed grayish discoloration on the wood parts of her windows and on the metal frames. We recommend sanding the oxidized gray wood and refinishing it with an exterior-grade, oil-based urethane. - George in Connecticut was planning to install natural wood flooring over the carpet in his family room, above a dry basement. He was advised to choose prefinished hardwood for its durability and easier installation. - Belinda is adding GFCI outlets to her older home and asked if they require their own circuit breaker. We confirm they do not, and an electrician can splice the GFCI into existing wiring to protect that outlet and others downstream if needed. - Dennis in Michigan was trying to remove powdered roofing cement that had gotten wet, cured, and hardened onto his stained concrete garage floor. He should first scrape off as much cured material as possible and then use a solvent like mineral spirits or acetone, working it in with a wire brush to break down the remaining material. - Dave in Houston, Texas, sought advice on whether to glue down or float the engineered wood flooring he is installing in his second-floor bedrooms. We prefer floating floors because they are easier to install, lock together, and allow for expansion and contraction.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

The Empire State Building took 110 days to build—today, changing a window would take two years. Alex Rampell (a16z) and Varun Krishna (Rocket CEO) expose how asset inflation turned housing from the American Dream into a wealth transfer machine where the median homebuyer age jumped from 30 to 38 in just fourteen years. While Silicon Valley burns billions on products people use daily but never pay for, Rocket quietly assembled a $10 billion profit engine and is now buying up the entire housing funnel—from Redfin's 50 million monthly searchers to one in six US mortgages—betting they can crack the code everyone else gave up on: turning a once-in-a-lifetime transaction into an everyday relationship. Resources:Follow Varun on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varun-krishna-30019a22Follow Rocket on X: https://x.com/RocketOTDFollow Alex on X: https://x.com/arampell Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

As the U.S. economy buckles under the weight of unprecedented spending, Tara breaks down how reckless fiscal policy, runaway printing, and political infighting have driven the average homebuyer's age to 59. From the proposed 50-year mortgage to Elon Musk's warnings about national debt, Tara exposes the ripple effects on young Americans, the housing market, and the job economy. Plus, she tackles Trump's missteps—from H-1B visa policies to a shocking White House meeting that left veterans outraged. A raw, unfiltered look at the cost of ignoring fiscal reality. When Washington spends, America pays the price. Tara takes listeners deep into the economic fallout of unchecked government spending and the “big beautiful bill” that promised prosperity but delivered pain. With young Americans priced out of homeownership and the average homebuyer nearing retirement, she highlights how federal overspending has consumed the real estate industry. Tara examines Trump's failure to push through spending cuts, the visa policies undercutting American engineers, and the ripple effects now hitting the job market. The episode culminates in a powerful critique of recent White House optics involving an Al Qaeda-linked figure, emphasizing the disconnect between political ambitions and national priorities. Tara calls for a refocus on America first — fiscal sanity, accountability, and leadership that remembers who pays the bill.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate Thurston discusses the current housing affordability crisis and former President Trump's proposal for 50-year mortgages. Nate examines the complexities and potential downsides of longer mortgage terms, emphasizing that the root problem lies in the supply and demand imbalance in the housing market. He suggests that government regulations, state and local zoning laws, and various economic factors are contributing to the housing shortage. Nate also touches upon the role of institutional investors, immigration, and tariffs on building materials in exacerbating the crisis. The episode provides an in-depth analysis of these issues, advocating for policy changes to increase housing supply and affordability. 00:00 Intro 01:46 The 50-Year Mortgage Debate 02:41 Supply and Demand 06:29 Trump's 50-Year Mortgage Proposal 07:56 Personal Housing Experiences 11:36 Market-Driven Mortgage Solutions 15:19 Housing Affordability Crisis 17:58 Interest Rates and Mortgage Payments 30:28 Rental Companies and Housing Supply 33:48 Institutional Investors and Housing Affordability 34:44 Government Regulatory Failures and Housing Shortage 35:24 Personal Anecdotes and Neighborhood Issues 36:42 Investor Home Purchases and Market Share 38:40 State Legislation and Housing Shortage 41:04 Supply and Demand in the Housing Market 46:27 Local Government's Role in Housing Regulations 52:54 Impact of Immigration on Housing 55:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Emmaline Aliff of Equifax joins Dr. Amy Crews Cutts, Chief Economist at AC Cutts & Associates, to unpack the real costs and competitive dynamics of mortgage credit reporting. They dig into what the data actually shows about tri-merge pricing, lender negotiation power, fallout loans, and the entry of VantageScore.In this episode:What is the true cost of pulling a credit report for a mortgage?The cost of a mortgage credit report usually falls within a wide range—from around $40 up to about $240 per file, depending on factors like the number of borrowers and the products included (such as trended data or monitoring services). While some lenders cite an average cost around $155, the actual cost is often driven by how many borrowers are on the application, how many times credit is pulled, and which ancillary services are added.Why do lenders say credit reports are “too expensive”?Many lenders feel credit reports are expensive not because of the unit price, but because of fallout—loans that never close. When a lender pulls credit and the borrower doesn't complete the loan, the lender usually eats that cost. Unlike appraisals, credit report fees are often not collected upfront, so unrecovered costs on fallout loans can make credit reporting feel disproportionately expensive.How much does a credit report actually matter in the total cost of a mortgage?In the context of a full mortgage transaction, the credit report fee is typically a small fraction of total closing costs and prepaid expenses. Even if a report costs $60–$150, that's minimal compared to items like taxes, insurance, and appraisal fees. The real financial impact often comes from how credit information influences interest rates and approvals, not just the report fee itself.What is a tri-merge credit report and why does it exist?A tri-merge credit report combines data from the three nationwide credit reporting agencies—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—into one consolidated file. This helps:Reduce blind spots by capturing regional and portfolio differences between bureausGive investors and GSEs (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) a more complete view of borrower riskSupport underwriting models that rely on rich, multi-bureau data rather than a single viewTri-merge helps maintain investor confidence in mortgage-backed securities by reducing data gaps and gaming risk.

Markets thought mortgage rates were heading down — then Powell stepped in and slammed the brakes. No December rate cut (yet), stocks slid, and mortgage rates jumped. But the Fed also made a stealth move that could shape housing in 2026, and nobody's talking about it. In this episode, we unpack what the Fed really said, why it matters more than the headlines, and what smart buyers should be doing right now.

#658: An unusual First Friday episode because we don't have a jobs report. However, we do know that in October, U.S. companies announced more job cuts in a single month than they have over any single month of the last 20 years. In other words, October was peak job cut month. By contrast, private payrolls, as reported by ADP, rose by 42,000 in October, so we have a little bit of conflicting data. Some pessimistic, some optimistic. We're going to take a deeper look at that in today's episode.

Home prices might not rebound for years. For many markets, we're seeing negative price growth, and even in the “hot” markets, that growth is slowing way down. Inventory is up, affordability isn't, and the supply-demand balance is shifting fast. But here's the thing. If prices remain stagnant, investors may have years' worth of opportunities to buy, and when the market swings in the other direction, those who did could see significant appreciation. This isn't a guess—we've seen this many times before. Dave is here to break it all down in this October 2025 housing market update. We're going to get into it all: home prices, housing inventory and demand, rent price growth predictions, and the huge upside for investors that many are already taking advantage of. Plus, a shocking statistic reveals the “real” home price appreciation in America and why it's nothing like what you think. This could hurt real estate investors in the short term, but it could be life-changing for anyone who invests for the future.  In This Episode We Cover Why home prices in America could stagnate for years to come  The huge advantage real estate investors will have to scoop up discounted deals A shocking calculation on the “real” (inflation-adjusted) home price appreciation in America When home prices could rebound again (how long you have to buy more property) Rent price updates and the two things keeping rent growth so low And So Much More!
