Interview with Ben Rabbidoux - Pt.1 | TRB Special Update

Описание: David Fleming Interviews Ben Rabidoux: Real Talk on Real Estate, Tariffs & Turbulence

This week on Toronto Realty Blog, I sat down with Ben Rabidoux of Edge Analytics for a two-part deep dive into everything from the Canadian housing market to the broader economic forces shaping it.

In Part One, we cover serious ground:
The economic fallout of U.S. tariffs and why the Bank of Canada is shrugging its shoulders
How consumer confidence—not just interest rates—is driving today’s historic sales slowdown
The true state of Toronto’s housing supply (hint: permits are at 40-year lows)
Why the “pre-construction condo apocalypse” might just be getting started
And yes, what a Carney-led federal government might mean for housing, interest rates, and growth

Ben brings receipts: data-backed, no-nonsense, and never dull. And if you’re wondering whether we dipped into politics and the future of development in Canada.

Read Part One now and come back Thursday for the second half, where we get even deeper into investor psychology, resale vs. pre-construction dynamics, and what buyers should really be thinking right now.
