Housing Market Shockwave: Bold Government Moves, Tariffs, and First-Time Buyer Doubts
This week on the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast we discuss the government’s Build Canada Homes initiative and whether it will truly deliver more supply or fall short like past promises. We unpack how new tariffs on wood and lumber could drive up construction costs and impact affordability. We also talk about the growing role of intergenerational wealth as parents step in to help first-time buyers, and why so many are still hesitant to purchase in today’s market. If you want to understand the trends shaping Canadian real estate right now, this episode is for you.
