BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson joins Alex Pang and Alex Shanks to unpack the real state of BC housing: the surprising 2025 sales slowdown and rebound pockets, why pre-sales are struggling, and the capital problem behind our 600k-homes target. We dig into foreign-buyer rules (and the “Australia model”), REITs vs. rents, development charges and permitting bottlenecks, mass-timber/missing-middle solutions, and practical policy tweaks—like easing the stress-test buffer and giving buyers flexible amortizations. Brendon also shares a data-driven outlook on rates, prices, and regional divergence heading into 2026. If you work in real estate—or you’re trying to buy, hold, or build—this one is required listening.
