This week we break down Canada’s massive $13 billion plan to build 4,000 factory built modular homes on federal land. We explore what this means for affordability, the impact on trades and jobs, and how it connects to Ottawa’s latest housing stats. We also discuss the Bank of Canada’s latest rate cut, fixed vs variable mortgages, and what the August market numbers tell us about where things are heading.
