In E275B, I discuss key topics affecting the real estate market today. We start with the surge in spring listings as homeowners face higher mortgage renewal rates and consider downsizing. This influx, coupled with rising interest rates, puts downward pressure on prices, but international money and immigration might offset this.
I also compare Canada’s economic and bank policies to those in the US, highlighting their impact on housing. Developers are cutting back on new projects due to market uncertainties, which could lead to future housing shortages despite the current rise in listings. Immigration, aimed at countering Canada’s aging population, adds another layer to market dynamics.
Additionally, I share insights on investing in the US through the E2 visa, covering legal, financial aspects, and potential tax implications for Canadians considering leaving the country. I stress the importance of planning and professional advice, encouraging a balanced view of real estate investing in both Canadian and US markets based on individual goals and preferences.
