What you will learn: Why this GTA market mirrors 1989 and what that tells us about the recovery timeline. The psychology shift from urgency to paralysis. What is really happening in the condo market. The coming supply void. How to decide if now is the right time to buy.
The GTA real estate market has been full of surprises. And three realtors with over 100 years of combined experience have seen most of it before.
In this episode, Evelyn, Ruth, and Sandy unpack what really happened in 2025 and what they are watching heading into 2026. They draw a striking parallel between today's market and the 1989 downturn, and they explain why falling interest rates did not unlock buyer confidence the way everyone expected.
They get into the condo market split, why purpose-built rentals are going to change the landscape more than most people realize, and what the coming supply void could mean for buyers in two or three years.
This is not a doom episode. It is a clear-eyed look at where we are, what the fundamentals say, and how to think about your own timing without getting paralyzed by headlines.
If you are sitting on the fence right now, this conversation is for you.
