The spring market is all but dead in 2025. That much is clear. The traditional seasonal surge in home sales that typically arrives in March and April has simply failed to show up. Home sales across Canada remain at multi-decade lows, with April currently trending a shocking 33% below last year—an already sluggish benchmark in itself. The market remains paralyzed under the weight of higher interest rates and high home prices, both of which are now colliding with a wave of mortgage renewals, Trump-imposed tariffs, and an upcoming federal election. These compounding pressures have Canadians turning their attention away from housing, choosing caution and savings over real estate.And yet, below the surface, the long-term trajectory of the Canadian real estate market is beginning to reveal itself. This episode dives deep into the undercurrents—employment, arrears, monthly payments, national inventory, and new housing construction—to show you where the market is heading next, even if you're not planning a move anytime soon. One revealing example is a recent court-ordered sale we just attended. Despite going through a complex legal foreclosure process, the property still attracted multiple offers and sold over asking—showing us that demand isn't dead, just dormant and highly specific.But here's where the tone starts to shift. Monthly mortgage payments have started to trend downward from their 2023 peak of $3,400, and if the Bank of Canada cuts rates to 2% as forecasted by many Banks, we could see payments fall by 30%. Combine that with the fastest wage growth in 25 years and the highest household savings rate in three decades, and you begin to understand why buyer intentions are beginning to creep back into the market —albeit modestly. Renters planning to buy are up from 17% to 19%, and existing homeowners considering a purchase rose from 14% to 16%. With sales at 30+ year lows, these early signs of returning confidence could be the start of the next upswing in the market cycle.Inventory is also building. Active listings in February rose 13.1% year-over-year, and while we're still below the long-term average, the trend is undeniable. In Toronto, March condo listings hit a record 5,500 in one month. The sales-to-new-listings ratio has dropped below 30% for the first time since 1991, and condo prices are already down nearly 5% year-over-year. Pre-sale condo activity has collapsed. In Toronto, only 152 new condos sold in the last month—down 95% from the 2022 peak. At this pace, new completions are projected to fall from over 30,000 in 2025 to fewer than 5,000 by 2029.And yet, even this bleak data paints a roadmap. With fewer completions ahead, the pre-sale condo market may re-emerge as a viable opportunity once the correction has taken place—just not in 2025 and potentially not until 2027 or 2028. For now, returns are still negative, but improving, with cash flow losses narrowing and principal paydown delivering small but positive equity growth. As cycles go, we are in the trough. But every cycle turns, the question is when. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

The Toronto real estate market is making national headlines, with growing concerns about a condo crisis that has both buyers and developers feeling the pressure. In this episode, we sit down with renowned Toronto Realtor Tom Storey to break down what's really happening on the ground. With reports of buyers failing to close on pre-sale units and developers facing insolvency, we discuss how these issues are playing out in real-time and whether they're as severe as they sound. Are condos the only segment struggling, or is the slowdown affecting all types of housing? And how does Toronto's market compare to what we're seeing here in Vancouver? With both cities navigating high borrowing costs, policy roadblocks, and affordability concerns, we examine the parallels and key differences between the two.A record-low number of new projects launched in January, raising questions about whether developers will be on pause for most of 2025. We explore whether rising development charges, lengthy permit processes, and shifting buyer demand are keeping new housing from coming to market. These same issues have been major inhibitors to new supply in B.C., and we compare how government policies in both provinces are shaping future development. Additionally, with 50%+ of Canadian mortgages set to renew at significantly higher rates over the next two years, we assess how this looming financial pressure could impact both homeowners and investors. Are investors checking out of the market entirely, or are new opportunities emerging in the current landscape?Beyond the immediate slowdown, we also look at long-term structural issues. Toronto, much like Vancouver, has long been criticized for its lack of "Missing Middle" housing—smaller, multi-unit developments that could provide a bridge between high-rise condos and detached homes. We ask Tom whether Toronto has made any meaningful progress in addressing this gap and if there are solutions that could help increase supply. We also touch on the contentious topic of Ontario's Greenbelt—could opening up more land be a solution to affordability and supply issues, or would it create more problems? Additionally, with new tariffs looming over the construction industry, we analyze the potential ripple effects on housing costs and supply.Despite the uncertainties, market shifts often bring opportunities. Tom shares insights on where buyers and investors should be looking right now, what strategies are working for those still active in the market, and what potential silver linings could emerge from this downturn. And while there are real concerns about the future, there are also reasons for optimism. We wrap up by asking Tom what excites and scares him most about the future of Toronto real estate and how the market might evolve over the next few years. If you're looking for a deep dive into one of Canada's most talked-about real estate markets—and how it compares to Vancouver—this is an episode you won't want to miss! _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, host David Fleming and guest Chris Kik cut through the noise surrounding tariffs, trade wars, and economic uncertainty to uncover what's actually influencing Toronto's housing market.Rather than chasing headlines, they take a pragmatic approach—analyzing buyer sentiment, sales trends, and market psychology to assess whether real estate is headed for a downturn or just another media-driven frenzy. With interest rates set to shift and government policies in flux, now is the time to separate fact from fear-mongering.In This Episode:Beyond the Headlines – Why tariffs are dominating the news cycle and what they actually mean for buyers and sellers.Market Sentiment & Buyer Behavior – How uncertainty is shaping real estate decisions.The A+ Property Advantage – Why some homes are still commanding multiple offers.Interest Rates & Government Intervention – Will policy changes fuel the next market boom?Uncertainty as the New Normal – Why hesitation could cost buyers and investors in the long run.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction: Are tariffs really impacting real estate?06:10 – The power of media narratives and why they drive market fear.14:25 – Buyer psychology: Who's still buying, and who's waiting?21:50 – The importance of A+ properties in volatile markets.29:15 – Will interest rate cuts trigger a surge in demand?36:45 – How uncertainty is influencing home prices.44:30 – The government's role: Will intervention prevent a downturn?52:10 – Final Thoughts: Is this just noise, or a real turning point?Don't Miss:Why uncertainty may be the biggest real estate driver of 2025.How media narratives influence consumer confidence—and sales activity.What history teaches us about market downturns (and recoveries).Subscribe to The Last Honest Realtor for more in-depth, no-nonsense real estate analysis.Like, comment, and share: Are tariffs really a game-changer, or just another distraction?Support the showSubscribe and Follow:Toronto Realty Group WebsiteToronto Realty Group YouTubeToronto Realty Blog InstagramToronto Realty Blog TwitterToronto Realty Blog Facebook

Housing inventory is surging across Canada, with cities like Vancouver and Toronto seeing multi-year highs in new listings—Vancouver up 33% YoY (a 13-year high) and Toronto spiking 49% YoY (a 16-year high). This sudden jump in supply is driven by a mix of record completions, stricter tenancy laws, and struggling investors selling off properties due to rising mortgage costs and softening rental markets. Buyers, however, are staying on the sidelines, hesitant amid economic uncertainty, high borrowing costs, and the looming threat of tariffs, setting up a volatile 2025 housing market. In this episode, we break down these trends and explore whether demand will rise enough to absorb the flood of new listings—or if prices will continue their downward trajectory.At the same time, Canada's job market data is sending mixed signals. While official reports show strong job growth, deeper payroll data indicates three consecutive months of job losses, raising questions about the real state of employment. Long-term unemployment has doubled, permanent layoffs are climbing, and wage growth is slowing—all signs that economic hardship may be more widespread than headline numbers suggest. Historically, unemployment and mortgage arrears have moved in lockstep, and while arrears remain low for now, any continued weakness in employment could push more homeowners into financial distress, impacting the market further.Despite today's inventory surge, new home construction is already slowing dramatically, which could set the stage for a supply crunch in the coming years. In Toronto, new housing starts just hit a 30-year low, with only 51 new units (not buildings—units) started last month. In Vancouver, new home construction declined by 3% in December, the largest drop in three years, and detached home building permits are at their lowest level in 45 years. While today's market feels oversaturated, this drastic slowdown in development could lead to a severe housing shortage in 2026–2027, potentially driving prices back up just as they are starting to cool.With consumer insolvencies rising, job data inconsistencies, and supply declining in the long run, we could be witnessing the beginning of a major market shift. Will today's housing surplus be short-lived? Could government policies or economic conditions unexpectedly swing the pendulum in the opposite direction? Tune in as we break down the latest trends, challenge the mainstream narrative, and explore what's next for Canada's real estate market. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

This episode originally published in March, 2023.You may have seen or read about this story on CBC. But wait until you hear all the details. CBC Toronto been running a series of articles on real estate fraud of a different kind the last couple months. Thieves posing as owners of homes, selling the properties, and disappearing. Only to have the real homeowners find out weeks later. Recently the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) sent a memo to is members reminding them they're required by law to verify the parties in any transaction. It's happened at least seven times in Toronto, most recently just weeks ago. It's scary, it's audacious, it's still happening, and as frauds go, this one is disturbingly simple. Guest: John Lancaster, Team Leader, Investigative Unit, CBC NewsRead the CBC stories on this fraudLeave a rating for this podcast with one clickDesmond can be reached at:Website | Email | X | Instagram | Facebook

URGENT: Toronto Real Estate Market Has Only 1.7 Months of Inventory Left - Should You Sell Now or Risk Losing Out Forever? - Market Tuesday EP_30 There is only 1.7 months of inventory in the Toronto real estate market. So what does that mean? That means if we don't get one new listing or more new listings or any new listings in 1.7 months, which is less than two months, we will actually have no homes to sell. That's the simple definition. Another way to look at it is sort of the economic point of view with 1.7 months. That also means that we are still in a seller's market, even though we are down in terms of number of sales, The number of inventory is also down, which keeps it into the sellers perspective because there's not enough homes based on the demand. Right now there is more demand than product. So with that being said, is it a good time to sell? Still a good time to sell? It is not the way it used to be. Sure, I agree with you on that. But hey, bidding wars are back. That might be an indication that this might be a good time to sell. Should you sell if you need to. Should you buy if it's an opportunity that you can afford? Do you have to do either of those? Absolutely not. It is a choice of where you are and how comfortable you are. And if you are willing to invest. It is a game of supply and demand. With 1.7 months of inventory, that means that the supply is low and the demand is high. Getting in the market is a good investment.

Peter Altobelli is back with us today to once again go through his top five key takeaways from the 2022 Toronto Real Estate Forum. Peter is the Vice President of Yardi Canada, which provides many different solutions to the real estate industry. Unsurprisingly, the most common talking point at the forum was the Canadian economy.... The post Top 5 Highlights: Toronto Real Estate Forum 2022 with Peter Altobelli of Yardi appeared first on Commercial Real Estate Podcast.

There's an information battle going on with what we're reading in the news compared to what we're actually seeing take place on the ground. There appears to be two very different stories emerging. With recent news articles from the financial post, stating that economists at Oxford Economics believe we are only halfway through the housing price correction - quote: “Prices are already down 14% since the peak in February - and will fall another 16% by the middle of this year. When home prices hit bottom, they will correct by 30%”.  What's more, they even address a worse case scenario which would see housing prices collapse by a total of 48% from peak to trough putting us back to 2014 levels! Despite admitting that it is a very rare possibility, we just don't see the same narrative taking place.Furthermore and in the same week, Stats Can released a consensus report showcasing how 50% of Vancouver homeowners do not have a mortgage - meaning these interest rate hikes are not affecting principle residences like many Buyers thought and hoped. The report is very interesting as it really helps Buyer's understand why we haven't experienced any kind of panic selling in the lower mainland. Interestingly the report found that 43% of home owners in Toronto are also mortgage free - however with more condo supply coming to the market, will this hold true? For Vancouver the story appears to contradict the Oxford Economics report because without a surge in supply, the price for homes will only shift down moderately if interest rates persist.This weeks podcast we address these two topics and interview Merete Lewis, a high performing and award winning Real Estate agent working in the GTA to give us her perspective on these two issues and whether Toronto, Canada's biggest real estate market, is seeing a similar story to what we're seeing here in Vancouver. Check out the episode and hear the first hand stories of properties selling multiple offers in both regions, line ups of Buyers and what feels like an early spring buzz.  Where do you think the market will go from here? _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

And I think as an investor, we start to realize that time is the biggest and most valuable thing.” - Bradley Watson “If the capital comes to you, you better know what to do with it. And when you have that relationship already formed, that doesn't mean that you haven't closed them as an investor until you can show them you know what you're doing.” - Bradley Watson “If there's no pre-existing relationship, those don't go anywhere.” - Bradley Watson “The humor is for me, the energy is what's shared.” - Bradley Watson “I figured when I do podcasts, if I'm not having fun, then I'm not going to do them. And adding the jokes, it takes more time to plug it into the overall writing and the content, but if it's a way for me to enjoy doing them, I'm going to do it.” - Bradley Watson Connect with Bradley Watson: Website: https://www.watsonestates.ca/ Podcast: https://www.watsonestates.ca/podcast Email: bradley@watsonestates.ca LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/bradley-watson-69797429 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mywatsonestates Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watsonestates/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau
