What's Really Happening in Quebec's Real Estate Market Right Now

What if the biggest threat to your next deal wasn't interest rates—but hesitation?   In this episode, I share a real-time pulse check on what's happening in the Quebec real estate market. From stalled absorption to construction strikes and policy delays, things are shifting—and investors are feeling it. I unpack how rising labor costs, city approvals, and social acceptance are changing timelines and forcing developers to think more strategically.   We dive into why many investors are sitting on the sidelines, how to rethink renovation plans, and the importance of surrounding yourself with experienced peers. I also explain how communities like Cercle Tres offer support in uncertain times and why now is the time to sharpen your strategy—not shrink from the market.   Tune in to hear why staying curious, educating yourself, and connecting with the right people might be your biggest edge in a high-friction market.   —   Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?   If you're a real estate investor looking to simplify operations and grow your portfolio, Kompas is your new best friend.
