Tuning in, you'll hear about how the new US tariffs are going to affect housing development and rent, how Canadian policy and market shifts can lessen the consequences of these tariff changes, how they will affect the rental and housing market, and so much more! We delve into the problematic nature of high construction prices before discussing the relationship between interest rates and the price-to-rent ratio. Tu even tells us what happens to the rental market when interest rates fluctuate and shares her thoughts on renting versus buying. Finally, hear about how new policies and the changing political landscape in Canada may impact the rental and housing market. Thanks for listening in!
