As mortgage rates are expected to hold steady or even rise slightly in the coming year, it\u2019s clear that affordability will depend more than ever on changes in home prices and growth in household incomes. Slower population growth could help ease demand and stabilize prices, while improvements in the labour market may give household budgets some breathing room. But unless we see sustained moderation in home prices, economists caution that any gains in affordability could be limited. In my recent conversations with clients across Metro Vancouver and beyond, it\u2019s obvious that real estate markets are highly local\u2014what buyers and sellers experience in Vancouver or Toronto might be very different from Calgary or Edmonton. I\u2019m always here to share updated market insights and help you navigate these shifting conditions, so you\u2019re equipped to make informed real estate decisions. As always, my goal is to see my clients smiling, confident, and ready for the next step.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada has now marked 10 consecutive quarters of affordability challenges\u2014a trend that\u2019s on everyone\u2019s mind.
