In this episode of The Real Deal Pod, Allister Carrington and Geoff Lee tackle the serious — and the seriously relatable. From Canada’s urgent housing supply gap to the surprising financial reality facing today’s retirees, they dig into the trends shaping where and how Canadians live.
They also share some personal updates (yes, there’s a hot tub involved ) and talk about the future of the show, including upcoming guests and new angles on real estate, aging, and affordability.
In this episode:
Canada’s housing crisis and why we need 4.8M new homes in the next decade
Why affordability hinges on building 430K–480K homes per year — and why most cities are falling short
The rise of retirement with debt: how seniors are adapting to longer mortgages and rising costs
What today’s 55+ buyers really want: single-level homes, walkability, and community
Downsizing, reverse mortgages, and the not-so-golden age of 55
Real talk about changing perceptions of aging, health trends, and what retirement really looks like now
