Canada’s Housing Crisis: The Coming Reality Check

Canada’s Housing Crisis: The Coming Reality Check In this week’s episode of the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast, we look at why Canada’s GDP shocked the market and how interest rates, the bond market, and global influences are shaping real estate across the country. We talk about stalled business investment, soft consumer spending, and why the economy feels like it is running on fumes. We also break down the rise of bank consolidations, the changing mindset around homeownership, and why more young Canadians are turning to the booming stock market instead of real estate.
