We field a lot of calls from first-time home buyers who are looking to make their first move in the Toronto Real Estate Market. We do our absolute best to help these first-time home buyers get into the real estate market because we can empathize how difficult it is to own property in the Greater Toronto Area these days, especially with so many moving parts to keep in mind with the entire first-time home buying process.   We've heard every question possible when it comes to first-time home buyers purchasing their first home in the Toronto Real Estate Market, and in this month's Prime Properties Podcast, I wanted to share all of this knowledge so that first time home buyers can know exactly what to expect (and what not to expect) from literally every angle. There may be an overwhelming amount of detail in this step-by-step first-time home buyer tutorial video. To help make topics easy to find and navigate, I've put time stamps on every topic that I talk about. If you want to skip directly to the topic that interests you, then you can do so using the time stamps below. Enjoy!

How Does the Latest Government Policy Impact the Toronto Real Estate Market? EXPLAINED

The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) announced a policy change over the past week that has essentially diminished buying power even further. Unfortunately, this new government policy doesn't help those who are already struggling to qualify for a home purchase, especially first-time home buyers. OSFI has mandated an increase in the stress test interest rate for all real estate buyers from 4.79% to 5.29%. This will ultimately reduce the buying power for everyone, but the real question is by HOW MUCH and what type of effect will this actually have on the Toronto Real Estate Market as a whole?

Back in 2017, when the stress test was first introduced, the Toronto Real Estate Market saw a fairly sizable reduction in demand which resulted in receding prices shortly thereafter. As the Toronto Real Estate Market is currently red hot, what does this revised stress test policy mean and how will it change things? Will this new government policy change the pace of demand for Toronto Real Estate? Tune in to this edition of the Prime Properties Podcast as I dig deeper into what this recently announced market intervention means for us all!
