The history and evolution of condominiums in Canada, covering their emergence in the 1960s through today's challenges, with a focus on multiplex stratification. The we are joined by Ben Singer of SR Law for a deeper legal dive.

Growth trajectory: Condos grew from less than 10% of Canadian homes before 1981 to 40-50% in recent years, with exponential growth since 1997. Multiplex stratification: Montreal and Vancouver have long embraced stratifying multiplexes into individually owned condo units, while Toronto is just beginning to explore this approach.

Emerging Trends In Real Estate For 2026
We cover the PWC-ULI Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2026 report, which analyzes Canada's real estate market through interviews with industry professionals. The report highlights housing affordability challenges while noting resilience in alternative sectors like retail, student housing, and industrial properties. Despite current difficulties, industry leaders remain cautiously optimistic about adapting to find new growth opportunities. Housing remains the central challenge — Affordability issues are affecting the entire real estate market, with government programs like Build Canada Homes emphasizing modular construction to accelerate supply Alternative asset classes are outperforming — Retail, student housing, self-storage, seniors' housing, and industrial properties show strong performance, with approximately 7.6 million Canadians (18.9%) now 65 or older driving demand in seniors' housing Market is shifting to "the age of the operator" — Success now depends on operational excellence, cross-industry partnerships, and technology integration rather than just identifying the right asset class or location Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) | BMO Global Asset Management MULTIPLEX MASTERCLASS UGLY SWEATER HOLIDAY PARTY LISTEN AD FREE free 1 week trial for Realist Premium Deal AnalyzerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What Bill 60 Actually Means For Landlords & Tenants
Ontario's Bill 60 (Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025) introduces major changes to landlord-tenant law aimed at speeding up evictions and reducing Landlord and Tenant Board delays. The legislation shortens timelines for tenants to respond to eviction notices, limits their ability to raise defenses at hearings, and reduces compensation requirements for certain evictions. Faster evictions for non-payment: Grace period cut from 14 days to 7 days, and tenants must now pay 50% of arrears upfront to raise maintenance issues as a defense Reduced tenant protections: Tenants can no longer raise new issues at hearings without advance notice, and appeal timelines shortened from 30 to 15 days Lower eviction costs for landlords: Landlords giving 120+ days notice for "own use" evictions no longer need to pay one month's compensation Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) | BMO Global Asset Management MULTIPLEX MASTERCLASS UGLY SWEATER HOLIDAY PARTY LISTEN AD FREE free 1 week trial for Realist Premium Deal AnalyzerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 10 Step Roadmap To Homeownership
Nick & Dan discuss the benefits of owning a home, both financial (building equity, fixed mortgage payments, tax advantages) and emotional (stability, freedom, community), while acknowledging affordability challenges. They introduce the episode's focus: a step-by-step guide to buying your first home, including building a "power team" of professionals and using tools like the First Home Savings Account. Homeownership builds equity and wealth over time, unlike rent, while offering predictable costs through fixed-rate mortgages and potential tax benefits. Beyond finances, owning a home provides stability, freedom to personalize your space, pride in achievement, stronger community connections, and freedom from landlord-related frustrations.

Where Will Prices Go From Here?
The Canadian housing market in October 2025 showed modest growth with sales up 0.9% from September, marking the sixth increase in seven months. The market is balanced but gradually tightening, with the sales-to-new-listings ratio at 52.2% and months of inventory at 4.4 months. Prices have stabilized, with the national average at $690,000 (down just 1.1% year-over-year) and the MLS Home Price Index up 0.2% month-over-month. End-user demand is returning as interest rates reach "almost stimulative territory," though buyers remain cautious due to economic uncertainty. After corrections in 2022-2023, home prices have stabilized and are moving sideways to slightly up, with year-over-year declines narrowing to their smallest levels since spring.
