It’s March so it’s time for another Toronto-Van City Real Estate Roundtable with Urmi, John and Steve! This month, we talk about whether our current market rebound is just a bull trap, who is actually buying at these high interest rates and where the distressed sellers are. Also given that we’re seeing housing booms now busting around the world, is it unfair to suggest that Canadian policy makers could have really prevented the same happening here?
