The Real Deal Pod is back — and this is the conversation Canadians need to start 2026 with clarity.
After one of the most challenging real estate markets in decades, Realtor Allister Carrington and Mortgage Broker Geoff Lee break down what actually happened in 2025 and what the data is telling us about the year ahead.
No hype.
No fear.
Just real numbers and clear perspective.
In this episode, we unpack why home prices remain well below their peak, which segments of the market are beginning to move first, and how many homeowners risk leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table by doing nothing at mortgage renewal.
Whether you’re buying, selling, renewing, or simply trying to understand where the market is heading, this episode is designed to help you move forward with confidence.
You’ll learn:
Why the market needed a reset and what that means for 2026
Where early momentum is building and where it isn’t
Why condos continue to correct and why it matters
The biggest mortgage renewal mistake Canadians are making
How the “loyalty tax” quietly costs homeowners $15,000–$30,000
