This week we break down the 2025 Canadian budget and what it could mean for the housing market, mortgage industry, and everyday Canadians. We talk about the government’s focus on rental housing, the projected 78.3 billion dollar deficit, and how public sector job cuts could ripple through the real estate market. We also share our thoughts on transparency in government spending and what these changes might signal for the future of Ottawa’s housing landscape.
