In this podcast episode, Alex McFadyen brings on David Smith, from David Smith Homes Group, to revisit their “Sweater Scores” from last year and discuss their thoughts and predictions for the housing market in 2024. They discuss how interest rates and inflation might affect the market. They noted that the impact of interest rates would be significant, with both rating it at 9/10 and 10/10 respectively. They express concern about the government's interference impacting specific people in a negative way. They also discuss the shift in work trends due to COVID-19 and the transitioning back to city living. The speakers conclude by discussing their plan to invest in real estate and advise listeners to consider upsizing moves and pre-sale condo opportunities, if it fits within their financial comfort level and capacity.
