#26 — Steve Saretsky: Canadian Real Estate—CRAZY Times Have Led to CRAZY Times
Our guest this episode is Steve Saretsky—a top 1% realtor in Vancouver and the host of one of Canada’s most popular real estate YouTube channels and the podcast “The Loonie Hour.”
In this wide-ranging conversation, Dave and Steve explore the current state and uncertain future of Canada’s real estate market. They talk about the collapse of the condo market, cancelled development projects, rising risk for lenders and whether sellers are finally starting to accept reality. Steve also shares his insights on affordability challenges, the impact of immigration, which markets still offer value and why detached homes remain the dream for many Canadians.
If you’re trying to make sense of the Canadian housing market—whether you’re a buyer, seller, investor, or just a curious observer—this episode offers a candid, data-driven and often surprising look at where things stand.
