Summary
Canada’s housing market isn’t just being shaped by interest rates or affordability — it’s being shaped by what isn’t being built. 🏗️ In this week’s episode of The Real Deal Pod with Allister & Geoff, we break down one of the biggest hidden risks facing real estate over the next few years — slowing construction and how today’s market hesitation could quietly create tomorrow’s housing shortage. We also dive into one of the most misunderstood mortgage strategies homeowners face when moving: porting your mortgage. Many Canadians assume it’s simple… but missing a few key details could cost thousands of dollars or derail your next move entirely. If you’re planning to buy, sell, upgrade, downsize, or refinance — this episode gives you the clarity you didn’t know you needed. 🎧 Inside Episode 86: ✅ Why fewer housing starts today could mean stronger price pressure tomorrow ✅ What CMHC’s latest outlook really signals for buyers and sellers ✅ Why soft markets never last forever — and what history tells us next ✅ Mortgage porting explained in plain language ✅ The questions you must ask before choosing a mortgage lender ✅ Why planning for your future matters more than chasing today’s lowest rate Real estate and mortgages move in cycles — and informed decisions always outperform emotional ones. Our goal is simple: help you understand the bigger picture so you can move forward with confidence.
