Death, Divorce, and Real Estate

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2026/10/09

Death and divorce move more Canadian real estate than any rate change. Nick and Daniel break down what happens to the house when a couple splits or a parent passes: who really owns the matrimonial home, how buyouts get financed, the tax CRA charges at death, why putting a kid on title can backfire, and how to handle an inherited property with siblings. They finish with practical checklists so your family has a plan instead of a panic. Montreal Event Tickets Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) | BMO Global

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2026/10/06

The Bank of Canada is holding rates, but fixed mortgage quotes are still going up. Dan and Nick explain how rising bond yields push fixed rates higher, why more borrowers are choosing variable again, and what to check before you pick: payment changes, trigger rates, penalties and whether your budget can handle a rate increase.

Canada Didn't Shrink. StatCan Found 300,000 People.

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2026/10/02

On September 23, StatCan revised its population count and added 301,008 people. Two of the three "decline" quarters became growth. Most of the people it found were temporary residents still in the country on pending permit extensions. Nick and Dan explain how the old count missed them, what changed in the method, and whether this weakens the bear case for housing. Growth is still the slowest since 1915, rents are soft, and more departures are likely coming. The revision changes why the numbers

How, Why & When To Buy Real Estate With Partners

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2026/09/29

Most Canadian real estate partnerships run on a handshake and good vibes. Nick and Dan break down how to do it properly. They cover five ways to structure a deal: co-ownership, general partnership, limited partnership, corporation, or skipping equity and lending instead. They explain how to pay the operator fairly with fees, a preferred return and a promote, and why your partnership agreement means nothing to your lender. They show how the right partner fills gaps in a CMHC application. And they

Why Are Data Centres So Controversial?

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2026/09/25

Mississauga and Oakville just froze new data centres. Saskatchewan rolled out the red carpet for a Bell campus near Regina worth over $50 billion. Nick and Daniel break down what these buildings are, why each province is handling them so differently, and why two out of three Canadians don't want one near their home. They take on the viral water claims and explain how the money works: tenants reserve power and pay whether they use it or not. Then they each say whether they'd invest. Plus the October

And honestly, the data says they are not crazy. Homeowners are dramatically wealthier than renters. In Canada, StatCan showed homeowner net worth rising from about $324,000 in 1999 to about $685,000 in 2019, while renter net worth went from about $15,000 to $24,000. CMHC research says homeowners are roughly seven times wealthier than renters,

A Short History Of Canadian Real Estate Pt. 2

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2026/09/01

Part 2 picks up at 2008. Canada dodges the financial crisis, decides it's bulletproof, and spends a decade building brakes (four Flaherty tightenings, foreign buyer taxes, two stress tests) all pointed at demand, while barely touching supply. Then free money in 2020, the February 2022 peak, and the fastest hiking cycle in Bank of Canada history. The payoff to the 1981 cliffhanger: CMHC's MLI Select in 2022 finally makes purpose built rental pencil again after 41 years, and rental is now about 58% of

A Short History Of Canadian Real Estate Pt. 1

Canada has never had a housing market, it has a housing policy, and the market is what happens downstream. Part 1 traces 100 years of deliberate decisions: 50% down mortgages that detonated in the Depression, CMHC inventing leverage in 1954, the 1972 tax exemption that made your house the best shelter you can own, and the two supply engines we switched off (MURB in '81, social housing in '93) while turning every demand dial to eleven, ending at zero down and 40-year amortizations in 2006.

The Rise of the Citizen Developer

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2026/08/21

This week we sit down with Toronto architect and developer Noam Hazan, the guy calling the "missing middle" the most alive part of Canadian real estate. After designing for global firms like Foster + Partners and Richard Meier, Noam now helps regular people turn single lots into fourplexes, sixplexes, and garden suites. We get into his own project, the numbers behind MLI Select and the HST rebate, the rise of the "citizen developer," and how to actually make these deals pencil. TORONTO MULTIPLEX

Has The Canadian Housing Market Hit Bottom?

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2026/08/18

Four years after the 2022 peak, the first real signs of a floor are showing up, national sales are up 7% from the March low, inventory is tightening, and single-family completions in Ontario just hit their lowest level since 1990. But economists have been burned by three false starts already, and nobody wants to say the b-word out loud. Meanwhile, over 13,000 Canadians filed for insolvency in June, up 11.5% year over year and running near 2009 levels. So which is it? Dan and Nick dig into whether

What A Developer Is Building Now, And Planning For Next

Nick & Dan are joined by Jacob Cohen, President of Daniels Corp. for a field report from inside a GTA development company. Why an activity slowdown worries developers more than falling prices, which input broke first: land, construction costs, rates, or sales velocity, and what still makes sense to build when almost nothing pencils. With starts near zero since 2023, the completions that should land in 2027–2029 aren't coming. Jake walks through the math, the industry's sudden rush into
