What’s Not Being Built Today Could Shape Tomorrow’s Market
Canada’s housing story isn’t just about rates or affordability right now — it’s about supply. Or more specifically, the supply that isn’t being built. 🏗️
In this episode of The Real Deal Pod, Allister and Geoff unpack one of the biggest under-the-radar risks in real estate: slowing construction. When projects pause and housing starts decline, today’s hesitation can quietly become tomorrow’s shortage — and that shift has real implications for prices, buyers, and long-term market pressure.
We also tackle one of the most misunderstood mortgage strategies out there: porting your mortgage. Many homeowners assume it’s straightforward — but overlooking key details can cost thousands or complicate your next move.
Inside this episode:
• Why fewer housing starts today could fuel stronger price pressure later
• What CMHC’s latest outlook really means for buyers and sellers
• Why soft markets don’t last forever — and what history suggests comes next
• Mortgage porting explained in plain language
• The critical questions to ask before choosing your lender
• Why long-term planning beats chasing the lowest rate every time
Real estate and mortgages move in cycles. Smart decisions come from understanding the bigger picture — not reacting to headlines.
