Why the Housing Market Feels Stuck Right Now in Canada
In this week’s episode of the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast, we unpack why the Canadian housing market feels stuck right now and what’s holding it back. We explore rising mortgage rates, stalled new home construction, and the growing impact of economic uncertainty and trade agreements. We also discuss why some regions are hitting price peaks while others are sliding, and what’s behind the shift in consumer behaviour. Whether you're in the industry or just trying to make sense of where the market is going, this episode helps you connect the dots.
