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

February 2026 home sales were 8.1% below last year — the weakest comparable data since the 2009 financial crisis — despite improving affordability, as tariff fears, job losses, and rising delinquencies keep buyers on the sidelines
Canada lost 83,900 jobs in February and mortgage arrears are climbing, with Toronto and Vancouver facing the highest projected delinquency risk as softer prices, weaker resale liquidity, and a shakier labour market all hit at once
The national average is masking a country moving in opposite directions: Toronto's benchmark price is down 7.9% year over year while Quebec City is up 12.3% and Alberta stays resilient — there is no single Canadian housing market, only a national average pretending to be one

The Math Has Improved But The Sentiment Hasn't 

The federal GST rebate for first-time buyers is now live — and most people are missing the real story. Yes, qualifying buyers can save up to $50,000 federally (and up to $130,000 combined with Ontario's provincial rebate) on eligible new homes. But Ottawa's own numbers imply the average benefit is closer to $22,400 per home. So what's actually going on?

Nick and Dan break down the mechanics of the new rebate, why the government's own fiscal tables reveal this is less about affordability and more about keeping the construction pipeline from stalling, and why this policy is likely deflationary, not inflationary, for new home pricing. They also cover the existing purpose-built rental rebate, the retrofit gap nobody's talking about, and what buyers, investors, and sellers should actually do with this information.
