Is 2026 the window smart buyers have been waiting for?
This week, we break down Nova Scotia’s shocking new 2% down payment program, what it means for first-time buyers, and why it could signal a bigger shift across Canada.
We dive into:
Why so many buyers are sitting on the sidelines
The real reason consumer confidence is low
Whether 40-year amortizations should return
Why once the market turns… it could turn FAST
And why 2026 may be the year people say, “I’m so glad I bought.”
If you’re thinking about buying — or waiting — this episode is a must-watch.
