We are once again joined by our incredible local expert panel: Sebastian Schmoranz (Lawyer, Kingsville), Alyssa Ismail (Real Estate Agent, Windsor Essex), and Rob & Sandra Zanet (Mortgage Brokers, Indi Mortgage Co.). In this episode, we cover: • Navigating the First Home Savings Account (FHSA) • Leveraging the RRSP Homebuyers' Plan • Breaking down the new Federal/Provincial HST rebate for new home builds and significant renovations Important FHSA Note: While contribution room accumulates when you open an FHSA, you can only contribute a maximum of $16,000 in any given year ($8,000 for the current year plus $8,000 carried forward). Keep this in mind if your strategy is simply to open the account to let the room build!

Toronto and Vancouver's housing markets remain notably weak this month, with both cities continuing to see subdued sales and hesitant buyer activity. What stands out isn't just the slowdown itself, but how comfortable many buyers seem staying on the sidelines. In this month's Real Estate Roundtable, John Pasalis, Steve Saretsky, and David Larock unpack the factors reinforcing that caution. Rising interest rates, combined with ongoing geopolitical risks, are giving buyers plenty of justification to wait. Even those who are financially capable of purchasing are choosing patience, contributing to markets that feel stuck rather than competitive. We also take a closer look at the federal government's HST cut on new housing and what it actually means in practice. While the policy may support new housing starts at the margins, its more immediate impact could be on developers holding completed but unsold units. The change makes it easier for builders to sell these units to institutional investors at discounted prices, or to rent them out without triggering the same tax consequences they would have faced before. Overall, the discussion highlights a market that isn't just slow, but structurally constrained, where policy changes may ease pressure for developers without necessarily improving affordability or bringing buyers back into the market in the near term.

Renting versus owning a home. Homeownership isn't for everyone, but the cost of renting could actually be more than a mortgage payment. We discuss different perceptions around renting versus owning and how this affects individual choices on this episode of the Real Estate Roundtable.

Today's consumers often start their search online for the house of their dreams, the perfect dinner, a classic car or a vacation.

In real estate, there are some terms that we often use but are commonly misunderstood by consumers:  absorption rate, escalation clause, and sellers assist. What is an assist? Who does it assist benefit-the buyer or the seller?  For answers join this episode of the Real Estate Roundtable.

Toronto and Vancouver's housing markets are off to a very slow start in 2026. Sales activity in both cities has come in well below last year's levels as buyers remain cautious amid broader economic uncertainty. In this month's Real Estate Roundtable, John Pasalis, Steve Saretsky, and David Larock discuss what's keeping buyers on the sidelines and what it might take for confidence to return. One of the biggest questions right now is the outlook for interest rates. While many economists had expected modest rate cuts this year, the war in the Middle East has added a new layer of uncertainty that could complicate the Bank of Canada's path forward. We also discuss a major policy development on the West Coast: the Musqueam Nation's agreement with the federal government, which could reshape how land is developed in Vancouver and raise important questions about governance, planning, and housing supply. Finally, we look at how multiplex policies are beginning to influence housing markets in both Vancouver and Toronto. While still early, these changes are starting to affect land values, redevelopment decisions, and the types of housing being built across both cities.
