Are Rates Really Coming Down? + Construction Slump-Led Recession? — Toronto & Vancouver Real Estate

It’s time for our March Toronto-Vancouver real estate roundtable with Urmi, Steve and John!

This week, we talked about:

  • Whether anticipated interest rate declines later this year will actually happen and how it will impact the real estate market
  • Whether a slump in the construction sector on which the Canadian economy is so dependent may lead to a recession
  • Assessing whether some of the many new housing measures suddenly being thrown at the housing affordability crisis are helping or hurting
