This week on the REAL Collective Podcast, Sean and Kyle discuss why waiting for lower rates might cost you more and why it's crucial to take a holistic view when buying or selling a home.
They break down why interest rates aren’t the only factor to consider, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive financial strategy. Instead of chasing minimal savings in the "race to the bottom," focusing on paying off debt and entering the market sooner can often lead to greater benefits.
In the second half, they explore Ottawa’s upcoming zoning changes, set to take effect in late 2025, and discuss how these adjustments aim to increase housing density and impact the local real estate landscape.
