Let's talk about the pressing issue of housing affordability in bustling cities like Toronto and creating ways to getting affordable housing.

We were recently inspired by the real-life story of a couple who creatively addressed this challenge by constructing a 1350 sq ft laneway house in the beaches. This video offers a comprehensive look into the realm of affordable housing strategies. We examine the 'rule of seven in investments' in the context of real estate, discuss the emerging trends in prefab and modular homes, and consider alternative living options such as houseboats and van life.

The podcast also provides an insightful analysis of how economic elements like interest rates and immigration patterns influence the real estate market.

It's a terrible time to be buying or selling real estate in the Greater Toronto Area.

In October 2023, we had 4,646 sales, which is THE WORST number of October sales since 1999, even accounting for the population growth and all the new homes being built. For context, the peak number of sales in the GTA was 15,623 in March 2021. In the 28-year history that we have recorded for TRREB MLS sales, we are 32% below the average of 6,806 homes sold.

But still, there's still 4,646 transactions that happened (9,292 people transacting because there's two ends to every deal, a buyer and a seller).

So who are the six profiles transacting in real estate right now?
