Why Canadian Home Sales Stalled — Confidence, Rates & Delinquencies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Housing affordability in Canada is the best it has been in years. Prices have come down, rates have sat at relatively low levels for months, and on paper the math works better today than it has in a long time. So why has the market gone quiet? In this episode I connect the dots between inflation, fuel costs, tariffs, bond yields and the housing market, and land on the piece almost everyone overlooks: consumer confidence. Buyers who can afford to move are choosing not to, and that single factor e
Bank of Canada Holds, 42,000 Jobs Lost, Waterloo Housing Market Update (opens the original)
Read excerpt

S6 E16: Fixed Rates Tick Up, 50% Tariffs & My Canadian Housing Bottom Call (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fixed mortgage rates moved up this week — not by much, but enough to notice. In this episode, Waterloo mortgage broker Stephen Green traces the line from a trade dispute, to the bond market, to your mortgage payment, and then looks forward at where this market actually goes from here. IN THIS EPISODE: • Proposed 50% US tariffs on autos, dairy and alcohol — and whether CUSMA blocks them • The bond yield connection: why fixed rates followed, and by roughly how much • Bank of Canada's hold, June in
