Broadview Table Talks: Toronto Real Estate Podcast

"What's a good school zone" is a question I am often asked. But the truth is, buying a home based on school rankings is more of an art than a science. Most rankings, like those from the Fraser Institute, are based on EQAO test scores, which is a narrow and often outdated measure that doesn’t reflect the full picture of a school’s quality. What actually drives school reputation often has more to do with the surrounding neighbourhood’s affluence than the education itself. In this video, I break down what you really need to know: how catchment boundaries work, what programs and opportunities are available beyond rankings, and why schools can’t be fairly compared with a single number. If you’re buying a home for your family and want to make a smart, informed decision, this is a conversation worth listening to.

Mortgage delinquencies in Canada are making headlines, with reports saying they’re “up 30%.” But what does that really mean? Defaults have risen, but that’s still below Canada’s historical “normal” range. Even during the 1980s peak, it wasn't that bad. By comparison, the U.S. sits much higher. The truth? The rise looks dramatic in percentages, but the actual risk level is still very low. Context matters more than the headline. Stay informed, not alarmed.

Imagine you’re playing Monopoly, and one player already owns most of the houses. Every time someone else lands, they have to pay more and more rent. Even if you save your money and play smart, it’s really hard to catch up when someone else already owns everything. That’s what’s happening in real life too: homes and apartments are being bought up by people who already have lots of money. Regular people are working hard, but the game feels stacked against them. Is this just a Toronto thing? Or have other major cities been able to crack the code?

Condos may have dropped more percentage-wise, but detached and semi-detached homes have fallen much more in real dollars. That means if you’re upsizing, the price gap has narrowed, and this less-than-stellar market might actually work in your favour. So, let's talk about why now could be the smartest time to trade up, and how to use market conditions to your advantage. If you’ve outgrown your space, this market shift could be working in your favour.

Feel like you’ll be renting forever? That’s honestly okay. Owning real estate isn’t the only path to stability. But if you’re not buying, you’ll need a solid plan — because the system is still built around homeowners. The truth is, renting can offer flexibility — but it doesn’t build equity by default. And if you’re not intentional, you might wake up 10 or 20 years from now priced out of more than just housing. You don’t need to buy a home to build wealth. But you do need to be proactive, strategic, and prepared.

A new national survey from Royal LePage shows that 31% of Canadian renters have no plans to ever buy a home—a statistic that challenges long-held assumptions about homeownership in this country. We’ll look at what’s driving this shift: affordability barriers, changing lifestyles, and why many renters feel completely priced out. More importantly, we’ll explore what this means for Toronto’s housing market — from long-term rental demand to how investors and first-time buyers should be thinking about the next cycle. If you’re navigating affordability challenges or trying to understand where demand is headed, this one’s worth watching.

Renting is the norm in cities like New York, Berlin, and Toronto — but staying a renter forever could mean missing your window to build real wealth. Let’s talk about how smart buyers are breaking in, even with high prices and limited savings. Some are co-owning multi-units with friends or family. Others are turning basements into income suites or living in laneway homes behind their parents’ place. Many are starting small — with a condo, a less central location, or even a duplex outside the core. The first home doesn’t have to be forever. It just has to get you started.

The Toronto condo market is shifting fast—and not in a good way for small landlords. With sky-high interest rates, poor rental yields, and construction costs that don’t pencil out, the old condo ownership model is breaking down. Condos were once a slam-dunk investment, but now it seems like purpose-built rentals are taking over. So let’s explore what this means for real estate investors, end users, and future buyers. Whether you’re holding, selling, or just watching from the sidelines, let’s talk about what’s coming next.

If you own real estate in Toronto — or anywhere in Canada — you’ve probably had it with all the negative headlines. Falling condo prices, sluggish sales, rising interest rates… it’s all you ever hear. But here’s the one thing no one’s saying: there’s still a positive case to be made for property owners — if you understand the bigger picture. In this video, I'll talk about: - Why this downturn isn’t the end of the world - The “6 Ds” that still drive real estate activity - How long-term fundamentals still support property ownership - Why selling now could mean locking in a loss - What to consider if you’re stuck in negative cash flow Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or someone stuck with a pre-construction condo deal — this video will help you make sense of the chaos and stay grounded.

There’s no sugar-coating it—the Toronto market’s been rough. April 2025 numbers from TRREB show sales down 23.3% year-over-year and the average price dipping 4.1%. That’s a tough headline.

Donald Trump sounds great for business people and investors, but maybe that only holds true in America. How is it going to affect Canada, and specifically the housing market here?
