Ep. 97 — BC Housing Affordability, Carney's Plan, Eby's Record & the Real Reason Buyers Are Sitting Out

BC housing affordability just became federal business — but can BC's provincial government actually deliver?   In Episode 97 of The Real Deal Pod, Fraser Valley realtor Allister Carrington and BC mortgage broker Geoff Lee break down PM Carney's proposed structural changes to BC housing, examine why every major BC housing policy to date has backfired, and make the case for why BC real estate in 2026 represents one of the most significant buying opportunities in a generation.   What you'll learn: What Carney's housing affordability plan for BC actually proposes — and what the Ontario model achieved Why BC housing policies like the Airbnb ban, home flipping tax, and foreign buyers ban hurt the market instead of helping it The CMHC net worth data every renter in BC needs to hear: owners at 65 have $1.3M, renters have $11,900 Why BC real estate will not crash — the economic and structural reasons The psychology behind why qualified BC buyers are sitting out: it's FOMAM, not affordability Where BC mortgage rates — fixed and variable — are likely heading in the next 3–5 years Why 2026 may be the window that future buyers look back on with regret If you're renting in the Fraser Valley or Metro Vancouver, or you're a BC real estate or mortgage professional serving first-time buyers, this is the episode that cuts through the noise.   Hosted by Allister Carrington | Realtor, KIC Realty | www.AllisterCarrington.com and Geoff Lee | Mortgage Broker, GLM Mortgage Group | www.GLMmortgage.com
