2026 Real Estate Outlook: Iran War, Rate Holds, and the $50K GST Rebate

We sit down with Mortgage Agent Sasitha to break down the massive shifts in the Canadian housing market following the passing of Bill C-4. We dive deep into the new $50,000 GST rebate for first-time buyers, the sudden "Income Audits" happening at mortgage renewals, and what the National Bank/Optim acquisition means for homeowners with unconventional credit. In this video, we cover: -Bill C-4 Explained: How to actually claim the $50,000 tax saving (and the #1 mistake to avoid). -The Renewal Crisis: Why your bank might demand proof of income even if you’ve never missed a payment. -B-Lender Shakeup: What National Bank’s acquisition of Optim means for your mortgage terms. -Market Strategy: Should you buy a new build or wait for Toronto rents to drop further?
