In this week’s episode of the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast, we break down the surprising resurgence in Canadian real estate activity and what’s driving it. We talk about mortgage renewals, why more buyers are including conditions to sell their homes, how job market strength is influencing rate expectations, and why fixed mortgage rates haven’t dropped even as bond yields fluctuate. Plus, a bit of Thanksgiving humour to lighten things up.
