We are joined by Fred Cassano, Partner and National Real Estate Leader at PwC Canada, discussing the state of Canadian real estate markets around the ULI Emerging Trends report.
Market in Transition: The real estate market is experiencing mixed sentiments with a sense that it may be hitting bottom.
Office Market Recovery: Office leasing is seeing renewed activity, particularly for trophy assets, driven by return-to-work mandates.
Housing Supply Crisis: Canada needs to build 500,000 homes annually to meet demand, with government initiatives like BCH addressing supply issues.
Capital Market Shifts: Private capital is filling gaps left by large institutions, with foreign investment in Canadian real estate increasing.
Emerging Opportunities: Senior housing presents strong investment potential due to years of undersupply, while retail remains resilient by adapting to consumer needs.

Are We At The Bottom Of The Market?

In this episode we sit down with a Vancity leader, Ryan Mckinley to unpack multiplex financing and policy across Canada. We explore why most multiplexes in Vancouver are strata-title, promoting homeownership, while Toronto’s market is trending toward rentals. Hear practical financing options for homeowners, investors, and small developers, plus a local case study and market outlook. We discuss the big opportunity for Toronto as condo ownership supply tightens, and how multiplexes can deliver lower construction and management costs, greater exit flexibility, and a pathway to more affordable ownership.

This Exit Strategy Makes Vancouver Multiplexes Work

Nick & Dan are joined by Tania Bourassa-Ochoa, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC, who authored the recent report on the mortgage renewal wave.

Over 1.5 million Canadians have already renewed at higher rates, with another million coming. While Toronto arrears have quadrupled, nationally only 0.25% of mortgages are in arrears.
1.5 million households renewed, 1 million more coming — the largest renewal wave in modern Canadian history⁠⁠​
Toronto and Vancouver are most stressed, particularly pandemic buyers, but most Canadian homeowners are still paying⁠⁠​
 Despite rising arrears, only 0.25% of mortgages nationally are in arrears — this isn't a nationwide housing collapse⁠⁠

The Mortgage Renewal Wave Is Here… But It’s Not What You Think

In this news episode, Nick & Dan cover major challenges in Ontario's housing market, including regulatory enforcement against brokerages, inconsistent multiplex approvals despite new zoning policies, a new RBC-REALTOR partnership, and a severe collapse in residential construction threatening the provincial economy.
RECO Trust Account Scandal: Save Max brokerages had $2.7 million unlawfully taken from trust accounts for operating expenses, resulting in suspensions and account freezes — the second major trust breach after iPro's $10.5 million scandal.
Multiplex Policy Inconsistency: Toronto's "gentle intensification" policy shows conflicting results, one six-storey project on Islington got approved while a similar Pharmacy Avenue project was rejected over parking and "neighbourhood character," despite both streets being designated for small apartment buildings.
Construction Crisis: Ontario's residential construction is collapsing with housing starts down 58% in Toronto, single-family sales down 71% in the GTHA, and 2025 marking the worst year for GTA new home sales in 45 years, threatening to shrink the provincial economy by 1.5-2.5% in 2026.
