B.C. Premier David Eby is backing a COVID-19 pandemic-style relief against U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods. He cautions the impact of U.S. tariffs could hit harder than the 2008 recession and says the planning will be made through the lens of a "potentially protracted trade war."

This is a debate you will not hear anywhere else! Two of Vancouver real estate's most respected thought leaders are in the same room... and they're joined by Prof. Tom Davidoff and Prof. Andrey Pavlov. We kid, we kid. But seriously, it's not often that we get to sit down with this level of dialogue while two leading professors debate the merits and shortcomings of our real estate market. We can all agree on one thing: these two don't agree on much! How can we fix Vancouver real estate? Is the bottom in? And where does the market go from here? This episode has more jabs than a Sonny Liston fight. Ding, ding, ding!

In an age of uncertainty, one thing is certain: there hasn't been this much pessimism surrounding housing valuations since Expo 86. But will interest rate increases crash the market or will low inventory levels guide us to a soft landing? This week, UBC Sauder School of Business Prof Tom Davidoff once again joins Adam & Matt to talk all things real estate related in this volatile moment. What are his thoughts on Sim City & what does the election mean for Vancouver real estate? How far can the Bank of Canada push interest rates & will sellers capitulate? And when, if ever, will we leave this ‘new normal' rate environment for the glory days of 1.5% rates locked in for 5 years? There is a lot to unpack here!

Six homes on a standard lot in Vancouver! The City of Vancouver's 'Making HOME' initiative, brought forth by Mayor Kennedy Stewart and just passed by city council, promises density that has the potential to re-shape every neighbourhood in Vancouver. But will this transform real estate values in the city &, if so, exactly how? Professor Tom Davidoff sits down once again with Adam & Matt to discuss “Making HOME” (and who better - Tom presented his thoughts to city council right before the vote). Do current single family homeowners in Vancouver win as big as you expect? How quickly will the impact of “Making HOME” be felt and primarily in which areas of the city? And should first-time homebuyers hit the sidelines to wait for the impact of this “generational” policy shift? Tom, as always, also sticks around to talk the hot real estate topics of the day - interest rates, unrelentingly low inventory, where the market ends up at the end of 2022 & more. The future is now!

Tom Davidoff of the UBC Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate discusses the promises being made on housing affordability during the election, and whether any of the plans are viable.

What is happening in the Vancouver real estate market? Professor Tom Davidoff, Associate Professor and Director of the UBC Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate at Sauder School of Business, joins Matt & Adam to cover all things Vancouver real estate.

Chapter 1

The 2019 assessment numbers have been released, and they show some of BC's most expensive properties have lost value, while others are up. Some of BC's priciest homes, and their values, include: Chip Wilson's mega mansion on Point Grey Road is DOWN five million dollars, and is now at 73 million. 4707 Belmont Avenue is DOWN six million dollars, and is now 65 million. 4719 Belmont Avenue is DOWN five million dollars, and is now 41 million. On average, home values in Vancouver, South Delta, White Rock, South Surrey, Richmond and the North Shore have gone down 5-10% in value. Dr. Tom Davidoff from the UBC Sauder School of Business told the Jon McComb Show this morning that those figures relate to values from last summer - so a lot may have changed since.

Tom Davidoff is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business. He is frequently cited in the Vancouver media as being an expert on Vancouver's housing market, and was part of a team of nine academics who created the B.C. Housing Affordability Fund proposal. David Eby is the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Vancouver-Point Grey, and was previously the Executive Director of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association. He is a passionate advocate for making Vancouver a more affordable place to live. The questions that we discussed in the podcast are: What has been going on in the Vancouver housing market? How fast have prices been rising? Is there evidence that foreign investment / foreign funds has been the cause of the increase in Vancouver housing prices? What data is there regarding the amount of foreign home ownership in Vancouver? What is the property transfer tax, and what are the new rules on how it applies to foreign buyers? Is there evidence that high housing prices impacts the rental market? Does it matter if the landlord is a Canadian or a foreigner? Why should high housing prices matter? Why should people think that they should be able to live in a market that they cannot afford? Should we move beyond the paradigm of valuing single detached homes? What role do international students play in the increase in housing prices? Does the fear of being accused of racism prevent government from addressing the issue of high prices? Is real estate such an integral part of the British Columbia economy such that high prices are now "too big to fail?" Should we move beyond the paradigm of valuing home ownership?

With Monday's announcement of the 15% foreign buyer tax, we discuss the tax and its implications with UBC Professor Tom Davidoff, Lawyer Lars Kushner, and foreign national and first-time homebuyer Mac Kerman.
