In this week’s episode of the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast, we break down the latest updates on Ottawa’s housing market and how political promises could impact real estate. With the federal budget revealing a massive deficit, we discuss what this means for homebuyers and sellers. Mortgage fraud is on the rise among first-time buyers: why is this happening, and what are the risks? Plus, we look at the growing shortage of skilled trades and how it’s slowing down new housing developments.
