This week on The Everything Real Estate Show, Cody Kraus sits down with Ben Rabidoux of Edge Analytics and North Cove Advisors to break down where Canada’s housing market may be headed next.

After several difficult years for buyers, sellers, investors, and the broader economy, Ben shares why he believes the worst of Ontario’s housing downturn may be behind us. The conversation explores falling inventory, historically low levels of new home construction, pent-up demand from first-time buyers, and why a market bottom doesn’t necessarily mean prices are about to skyrocket.

Cody and Ben also dive into the changing rental market, the growing supply of purpose-built rentals, baby boomers transitioning out of single-family homes, population trends, immigration, and the massive generation of Canadians still hoping to enter the housing market.

Plus, they talk about the upcoming Windsor-Essex Economic Summit at Caesars Windsor and why conversations around the economy, housing, and the future of the region matter now more than ever.

They also discuss trade tensions with the United States, consumer confidence, interest rates, the Canadian economy, and how stability, not necessarily a perfect trade deal, could help unlock investment and housing activity.

A practical, data-driven conversation about where the Canadian housing market is today, what could happen next, and why the future may be more optimistic than many people think.

Let’s go!
