Show notes
In this week’s episode of the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast, we unpack why the Canadian housing market feels stuck right now and what’s holding it back. We explore rising mortgage rates, stalled new home construction, and the growing impact of economic uncertainty and trade agreements. We also discuss why some regions are hitting price peaks while others are sliding, and what’s behind the shift in consumer behaviour. Whether you're in the industry or just trying to make sense of where the market is going, this episode helps you connect the dots.00:00 Introduction to the Current Real Estate Landscape02:57 Market Trends and Consumer Behavior04:29 Interest Rates and Economic Indicators06:30 Business Challenges and Consumer Confidence13:22 Future Outlook and Economic Uncertainty16:12 US Influence on Canadian Economy18:25 Challenges in New Construction20:28 Housing Supply Crisis in Ontario22:31 Impact of Housing Start Slowdown23:31 Regional Real Estate Trends25:57 Mortgage Payment Increases in the Last 10 Years28:36 The Shift to Remote Living and Its Effects30:08 Mood BoostsGet in touch with us!Paul Stevenson - Mortgage Agent Level 2 CENTUM Financial Services LPEmail: [email protected]: 1-613-263-4543https://www.paulstevenson.caDavid Warren - Mortgage Agent Level 2 Referral MortgagesEmail: [email protected]: 1-613-686-6003 https://www.referralmortgages.comIf you have a question or topic you'd like to hear us discuss send us an email at: [email protected] or leave us a comment below!New Episodes of the podcast are available on Wednesdays at 10AM on all podcast services and at www.theottawarealestatepodcast.com Brought to you by Referral Mortgages, PaulStevenson.ca, Guertin/Poirier Avocates Lawyers, CENTUM, BIG - Billyard Insurance Group.
