Where To Find The Money To Get Real Estate Deals Done

CMHC's 2026 Mortgage Consumer Survey is out, and Dan and I dig into what the numbers actually say about Canadian homeownership right now.

The headlines: 35% of renewers felt financial pressure with payments up $375/month, but default concern dropped from 53% to 39%. 28% of first-time buyers needed a co-signer (54% leaned on parents). 23% got a down payment gift, median $30K. First-time buyers rented 7.6 years before buying. And 16% of researchers are now using AI in their mortgage journey.

The through line: stress isn't collapse, but adaptation isn't health. The Bank of Mom and Dad is now mortgage infrastructure, the path to homeownership is an endurance sport, and the trust layer in mortgage advice is fragmenting fast.

Canadian housing is stressed, adapting, and quietly being reshaped by family balance sheets and AI all at once.

The Mortgage Renewal Shock Is Here, But Canadians Still Believe

Nick and Dan break down the one line in the Spring Economic Update that actually matters: Ottawa wants private insurers to cover 5–8 unit buildings, with more flexibility for triplexes and fourplexes. Plus $7B accelerated for the Apartment Construction Loan Program.
The backdrop has flipped — population growth went from 3.2% to -0.2%, rental starts hit 5x the historical average, and asking rents are down ~9% since late 2024.
The core idea: Housing supply doesn't get built when politicians tweet. It gets built when a lender says yes. Legal density is permission, not a home. Policy can reduce friction but cannot repeal math.
The next phase isn't rate shock — it's financing, absorption, and project viability.
