From earlier this month, a world-spanning July episode of the Toronto-Vancouver real estate roundtable with John in Greece, Steve in Vancouver and Urmi in Toronto!
The weather is warm, but the biggest Canadian real estate markets remain anything but — John and Steve take us through the latest stats for Toronto and Vancouver and explain whether yet another new record high in condo listings and investors existing will finally result in more options and better prices for end-users.
Also: as average gifts to home buyers from family now averages over $100,000 in Canada, is it finally time to talk about taxing gains on principal residences?
