Nick and Dan break down Canada's four major modern recessions and what each did to real estate. Key insight: economic recovery and housing recovery are different timelines, Toronto took 13 years to recover from the 1989 peak, while Vancouver bounced back from 2008 in just 20 months. Bubble-driven corrections take far longer than externally-driven ones.

Looking ahead, oil shocks historically precede recessions, and USMCA trade tensions are the biggest 2026 risk. The playbook: audit your debt, build a cash reserve, know your local market, and make your buying list now, because the best opportunities in past recessions disappeared within months.
