In this week’s episode, John Pasalis talks with Ben Rabidoux, founder of Edge Realty Analytics, which provides data and insights on Canadian housing and economic trends and more indepth reporting on major metrolevel trends in Vancouver and Toronto. Many real estate professionals consider Ben’s monthly research reports a can’tmiss read for good reason.

Ben shared his thoughts on why Canada’s economy is in worse shape than what the markets think. He also unpacks the massive shortage of familysized homes, where he notes that Canada is starting only one new home for every 20 new people moving to Canada. Finally, Ben also discussed how a decline in Canada’s population growth rate and housing starts will impact the housing market in the months and years ahead.
