About this listen
In this week's episode, Kai breaks down the Bank of Canada's seventh consecutive interest rate cut to 2.75% and what it means for your mortgage payments. Dive into the surprising Toronto market statistics showing inventory up 76% year-over-year and prices down 2.2%, creating unprecedented buyer leverage.
Kai examines how US-Canada trade tensions are creating what experts call "profound uncertainty" in the housing market, with potential implications for construction costs and buyer confidence. Learn why mortgage delinquency rates are paradoxically rising despite falling interest rates, and which demographics are most affected.
For more in-depth analysis on how the trade war specifically impacts Canadian real estate and construction costs, check out Kai's latest blog post at kaibydesign.work, where he explores the long-term implications of aluminum and steel tariffs on housing affordability.
