## Resource

This week on The Real Deal Pod, Allister and Geoff dive into two headlines stirring up big conversations in B.C. real estate: ➡️ The surprising population decline — the first of its kind in Canada this year — and what’s really driving it. ➡️ The new OSFI capital rules that could shape how banks lend and how buyers qualify in 2026 and beyond. From affordability pressures and interprovincial migration to the ripple effects on housing demand and mortgage rates — this episode unpacks how all these moving parts connect. Plus, in this week’s “Did Ya Know” segment, Allister shares eye-opening data straight from Statistics Canada: B.C. was the only province to see its population dip in the first half of 2025. The duo breaks down what that means for homeowners, developers, and the future of real estate in the province. 🎧 Tune in for real talk, real data, and real insights — all to help you make smarter moves in today’s evolving market. #BCRealEstate #MortgageNews #CanadianHousingMarket #TheRealDealPod #EmpowerAdviseRepresent
