Builder Bailout or Buyer Boost? The Truth About Canada's Housing Market Right Now

from Move Smartly: The Podcast · host Move Smartly

This episode dives into some of the biggest questions buyers and sellers are asking right now—from whether it makes sense to jump into pre-construction with the new HST rebate, to the growing debate over whether that policy is really helping buyers or quietly supporting builders. We unpack the risks of trying to time the market in an uncertain economic environment, and how to think about pricing, incentives, and long-term value when conditions are shifting. We also discuss what's actually happening on the ground in today's market, including whether underpricing strategies still work for sellers and how much leverage buyers really have right now. The goal is to cut through the noise and give practical insight into how to navigate a market that feels increasingly unpredictable.
