How Will an Unexpected Interest Rate Hike Impact Toronto & Vancouver Real Estate? + Who is Investing in Canadian Real Estate? — June Roundtable
06/13/23 • 58 min
It’s that time again - our June roundtable with Steve in Vancouver and John in Toronto.
This month, we talk about the latest numbers for both housing markets and how buyer frustration is building as low levels of listings continue. And, after the pausing of interest rates and even talk of potential cuts, how will the Bank of Canada’s unexpected rate increase impact the market? Also, why building more density is unlikely to solve housing unaffordability problems and a closer look as just who is investing in real estate in Canada.
