Could a recent US settlement have an effect on Canadian real estate? In this episode of the REAL Collective Podcast, Sean Tasse (Broker) and Kyle Miller (Mortgage Agent) break down the possibilities. In the first half Sean and Kyle briefly discuss a tale of two markets (those that are priced right versus those that are overpriced). They then move on to the recent landmark settlement that was announced last month and how similar cases are happening here in Canada with the Toronto Real Estate Board. They explain the crux of the issue (the Competition Act and Commissions) specifically buyer's side commissions. They talk about what could happen down the line and how this could be difficult with the current mortgage structure here in Canada. In the second half our hosts discuss three hot money topics that have been in the news recently. 1. Bare Trust and the CRA 2. A Renter's Bill of Rights 3.

Trust the experts to be wrong Hey, so yesterday I tuned into TikTok,  obviously to upload my video and I came across a lady that's actually a real estate agent in the Toronto Real Estate Board.   She was pontificating about how she was tipped off about how agents who think they, just because they have a social media platform, they have the right to say whatever they want.   She was actually quite vulgar about it. And what was really interesting was she was actually exercising the very thing that all these other agents do, you know, using her freedom to say whatever she wanted on our social media, okay?   I think agents should do that. I didn't like the fact that she just wanted to generalize and make herself look better by putting down every other real estate agent.   I can tell you, you know, yeah, there's no question there's some bad people in the business, but I will say, for the most part, agents are pretty good people. That's been my experience over 35 years in the business. Agents are pretty hard-working and they're pretty dedicated to their craft.   Yes, there are some that are crazy, no question about it, but for the most part, you can count on a real estate agent being a pretty good person.   Okay? Now here's the thing. One of the things she was going on about was she didn't like that agents were making, um, economic, predictions or giving advice. And, you know, why not? I mean, agents have boots on the ground. They know what's going on. They know what's going on at the offer table. T hey know what kind of activity they're, they're experiencing in the, in the marketplace.   You know, in 2020, I don't know if you guys remember it or not, but Tiff Maclan basically told everybody that interest rates aren't going anywhere. So if you're making a big purchase, a house or an investment, you can be assured that interest rates aren't going anywhere wrong. Okay, Scotia Bank, at the end of last year, I believe they predicted somewhere around a 2% lift in the marketplace, or almost double that. Okay?   These are experts now, the boots on the ground. Yeah, we didn't have a clue what was going on either, okay? But neither did they, they got all the education, these experts, you know, they go to U of T or Queens University or London, but Western University, that's fine. I, I have nothing against that type of education, but it doesn't make him an expert. I'll tell you, when I was first in the real first got in the real estate business in 19 87, 19 90, I met a gentleman by the main, by the name of Tom Wright. Now 1990 was a shit market, okay?   Now, Tom was very attuned to what was going on in the marketplace. And, you know, he read the Financial Post, he read the Globe Mail, he did all that and I asked him, What should I be reading in order to be astute about the marketplace as you are? Tom? And Tom said, Listen, Walter, don't worry about reading about any of that stuff. Talk to the guys on the shop floor, okay? They're the guys that know what's going on. They know when the plant is busy. They know when it's slow. They can feel the hum in the air in   Terms of what's going on in the marketplace. So before you, you know, give this whole deification to economists, they're not as great as people think, Okay, talk to the boots on the ground. They know what's going on. I would take that over any economist any day.

What are the Ups and Downs of Toronto & GTA Condos? Is the GTA Housing Marking Continuing to Thrive Despite COVID-19 Turmoil? What announcements have been made for reopenings?

COVID-19 has thrown us into a crisis market, so we have to be strategic about our next moves. Are there any ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ paths to take as we navigate this uncharted territory? How does our mindset affect our response?   There are so many opposing views on what should or shouldn’t be done during the pandemic, and many real estate professionals are finding themselves unsure of how to respond. Unfortunately, there are no set answers in this time of uncertainty.   How can we move forward strategically in a way that works for our businesses?    In this episode, one of Canada’s top real estate coaches, Kathleen Black joins me to discuss how to respond to a crisis market when there are no clear-cut answers.        We may be in a crisis market, but remember: Life is what drives real estate. -Michael LaFido     Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode   Now is the time to nurture our databases. We may not see immediate results, but if we stay in contact with past clients now we will see the fruits of our labor in the future. Putting in work now will also position us better for when the market moves out of crisis mode.  Keep moving - take actionRegardless of the industry we’re in or the markets we serve, the most successful leaders in any field are those who take action. This action can be scaling back on non-essentials, or even expanding the business. Assess extensivelyWe have to take the time to assess our business models. Once we know what works and what doesn’t, we can adapt to the market more effectively.   Guest Bio Kathleen Black is the CEO and elite coach at Kathleen Black Coaching & Consulting Inc.

“As much as talent counts, effort counts twice.” A powerful quote by Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance.  My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show couldn't be a truer reflection of this.  His diligence, determination and grit are the reason he was the #2 agent, out of 50,000, on the Toronto Real Estate Board for 13 years straight. Derek Baird, now an established 31-year veteran as a real estate professional, averaged 300 transactions a year by himself! The question is, how?  Derek says, with humble confidence, “I've never had a bad year, but I think it just boils down to getting up and going to work.” You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: http://bit.ly/2kerypu

How can you tell if we are in a buyer's market or a seller's market? Well, stay tuned, I'll tell you how.That's a really good question, and it depends on numbers you are looking at. So, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association, the national average sale price is up 1.72% year-over-year, from this time last year. But this includes all of the provinces, and all the territories in ALL of Canada. So let’s look at the Toronto market and the resale stats there.So the number I really like to use to determine between a seller's market and a buyer's market is the Sales-to-New-Listings-Ratio. And it's just that, it's basically takes the number of new listings and the number of past sales, and divide the two numbers and you get a ratio. So if you get 10,000 new listings on the market, 5,000 sales, that leaves you with another 50% of listings for next month to sell.So in theory, it should be be 50% throughout and that'd be balanced. Well, like to say that if it's 60% or higher, then you are in a seller's market, which basically means that there's more sales versus new listings to replenish those sales next month, right? So everyone is fighting over the same amount of listings.A 40% ratio or below is a buyer's market, which means there's more new listings that come on to the market than there are sales. Make sense?Last month in June 2019, there was 8,860 sales in all of the Toronto Real Estate Board, and this got replenished with 15,816 new listings, giving us a Sales to New Listings Ratio of 56%. So remember, anything between 40 and 60% is a balanced market, a 50/50 ratio is a perfectly balanced market, meaning there is enough inventory to replenish the amount of sales going on.If you look at the detached homes in Toronto, the Sales to New Listing ratio is 50.8%, perfectly balanced.However, not so good luck for the sellers in York Region. There's a Sales to New Listing Ratio of 39.2%, making it a buyer’s market up there.For Downtown Toronto condo owners, it’s more of a seller’s market, where the Sales to New Listing Ratio is 58.7%. That trend is slowly edging downwards though, and I think it's going to be more of a balanced market sooner or later, but right now it's still a seller's market.There’s a lot of other factors that we use to determine the overall health of the Toronto real estate board, such as the average price, number of units sold, average days on market, and etc. But let's dive in to the Toronto numbers for a second.The average price in the overall Toronto Real Estate Board right now is $832,703.The average price of a detached home in Toronto is just over $1.3 million, and for York Region it's $1.115 million. The average price of a condo in the core of Downtown Toronto is $706,490. To me that's kind of crazy, it's a little bit high, but it's still a seller's market so... maybe it's a good time to trade up if you're thinking about that?We had two major government events that happened over the past 2 years, and that was the stress test in January 2018, and the Fair Housing Plan of April 2017. And in the news recently, the Bank of Canada announced a lower benchmark qualifying rate, making the stress test a little lower at 5.14% for a qualifying rate vs 5.34%. So I still think there's more room to grow in the market, and you can see here that the Greater Toronto Area market has bounced back from the January 2018 stress test, but not so much from the April 2017 Fair Housing Act. This is certainly the case for detached homes in Toronto and York Region. However, Downtown Toronto condos don't seem to be affected by either of these two events and the prices just keep going up.I mean, it kind of makes sense, they are more affordable housing option for all of the housing options out there.So as you can see, the numbers are open to so much interpretation.

April 27, 2019 - Toronto Real Estate Board by Iain J. Grant

Over My 13 years of helping Realtors build #MindShare, I have seen many people come an go in this business.Not having the right plan, the right goals, or any goals for that matter, and not setting themselves up with the right systems was the downfall for most of them. Over the past number of years, the concept of a Real Estate Team has grown exponentially. And now many Realtors are looking over at 'The Jones's' thinking "I want that too", "they look like they're having so much fun over there", and "they seem like they do a lot of business". These are all lines I have heard many times, and I don't fault the perception. As Humans, we like to be with other people - its purely the idea of not feeling so alone. It's comforting. On the other hand there are those who figure, "hey if I can Team up, then I don't have to work so hard", and to you I say WRONG!How many times I have been approached by 2 people or more who want to Team up or Partner up, whatever you want to call it, yet they have no idea where to start, or even why they're doing it. In this Episode I am joined by Kathleen Black.She is one of North America's leading Real Estate Team Coaches. Recognized within the top 1% of Realtors in the Toronto Real Estate Board and building upon her 10+ years of Agent development, hundreds of teams attribute their growth and success to her leadership. Her credibility and understanding of the Real Estate market has guided countless teams to be Top 1% Producers. The success of her organization centers around integrity, honesty, and results-driven measures - the very things that represent her.

Alex is joined by Rubina Ahmed-Haq, Global News Radio Personal Finance Expert to discuss Canada's largest real estate board is calling on Ottawa to revisit whether a stricter mortgage stress test introduced last year is still needed, arguing that the policy has negatively impacted the economy and Toronto's once red-hot housing market.

Our society is rapidly changing, and many real estate businesses are lagging behind. How can you take diversity into consideration when you hire and run your office or team? How are so many offices and teams failing to reflect the areas they live in? How can we build a successful, long-standing business that sets itself apart from competitors? In this episode, I talk with Richard Silver of Silver Burtnick & Associates for these key insights.   I wanted a team that looked like the people of our city. -Richard Silver     Takeaways + Tactics Change is essential and should be embraced. Diversity of agents with regards to race, religion, age, culture and language only stands to benefit your business. This is particularly true in multicultural societies. Use of new technologies is vital, from testing personalities to marketing homes.   At the start of the show, we talked about Richard’s journey and how he got started. We also talked about the importance of embracing change, and the power of diverse teams in the success of businesses. We talked about how luxury can sometimes be defined according to how many properties someone has. We also talked about why every chance to meet potential clients should be seized. We also discussed: The necessity of networking Situational relevance and how it works   Multicultural societies, spurred on by globalization and rapidly evolving technologies, require change in the traditional approach to luxury. As markets become more diverse, agents need to consider the importance of representative teams. Further, as technological advancements show no signs of slowing, it is imperative they are used to the agent’s benefit. Change is inevitable, but that should not be cause for concern. Rather, it should be hailed as an opportunity for further-reaching success.   Guest Bio Leading the Torontoism.com Team at Sotheby's International Realty Canada, Richard is designated as an ABR, e-PRO and a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS).

Alexandra Cote is a real estate entrepreneur, Property Coach, and Sales Representative at Sandra Rinomato Property and Brokerage where she is dedicated to helping clients reach their real estate goals. She currently serves as the President of the Downtown Toronto Condo Board, is an active member of the Government Relations in Affordable Housing Committees, volunteers for the Toronto Real Estate Board, and has served as a member of the Young Professionals Network Committee. She has received numerous awards and recognition throughout her career, including the Rookie of the Year Award in 2015 at Sandra Rinomato Realty, has been voted the Best Real Estate Agent in Toronto in 2016, and - most recently - Alexandra was the runner-up for the Best Real Estate Agent in Toronto in NOW Magazine’s Reader’s Choice Awards.   Alexandra joins me this week to share her story, how she got started in the real estate industry, and what she enjoys most about her career. She explains how the key to her financial success started at a young age, why she recommends home buyers and renters to interview several real estate agents before choosing one to work with, and why she believes it’s important for young real estate professionals to build trust and relationships with their clients in order to succeed in the industry.   “Money is a very emotional thing for a lot of people, but it’s also important to have balance and perspective about it.” - Alexandra Cote   This Week on Young Money:   The importance of staying grounded and true to your values. Developing discipline strategies to stay focused on your values and goals. The importance of finding time to disconnect each day. Common challenges many young, successful entrepreneurs face. The importance of building relationships with your clients as a realtor. Her biggest turning point and financial revolution. Things she wishes she knew sooner about money and finance.

On today’s show, we’re going to be discussing a newer practice that’s been cropping up in the real estate industry of late, especially in the hotter markets. Promotion of your listings before putting them on MLS. These listings are often presented as ‘Coming Soon’ in attempt to attract interest, and potentially sell your client’s home prior to putting it on the market to save on commission. Is this in everyone’s best interests? Does this potentially prevent your client from getting proper market value for their listing? How do you best leverage this strategy to maximize the value of the home? We discuss all of these questions, along with addressing some more recent news on the success of the Vancouver foreign buyer's tax in the show. APP OF THE WEEK Collaborate is a system implemented by the Toronto Real Estate Board that could potentially be a game changer for the industry. In a world where access to listing information online is quick and easy, home buyers are often finding properties they are interested on their own. Collaborate helps salespeople get more involved in the buying process with their buyers, bringing the real estate salesperson back into the process. This is a great tool, and one that you should present to your local board for integration.
