Freehold properties require more maintenance and upkeep, which can add up. On top of that, they’re not as liquid as condos. If you need to sell quickly, it can be a lot harder to move a detached home compared to a condo.
I get where you’re coming from, but I actually think freehold properties have their place. They tend to have better long-term value, especially in desirable neighborhoods. Condos, while great in terms of lower maintenance, come with a lot of restrictions-like condo fees, rules on renting them out, and the risk of a high percentage of units being rented, which can affect the building’s value
The market seems so unpredictable, and even though freehold properties might appreciate in the long run, they seem more vulnerable in the short term. The demand just doesn’t seem as high as it used to be
That’s fair, and it’s really a matter of where you’re investing. Freehold homes can be great if you’re in a growing area or if you’re holding long-term. But with the current market volatility, I think condos have more stability. For example, they’re generally more affordable for first-time buyers, and in major cities, you have more demand for smaller, manageable living spaces
But isn’t that part of the problem? More demand for condos might be inflating the market in the short term, while freehold properties could be undervalued right now. In the long run, people are still going to want detached homes with more space. Once the market stabilizes, freeholds could be a better bet.
that’s a big 'if.' I mean, what if this shift toward condos is permanent? With the growing trend of urbanization, the demand for detached homes could stay low, especially with the rising cost of living and interest rates. I’m worried I could be holding onto a freehold property that’s just stuck in a downtrend
I have clients so optimistic on the market given the recent rate cuts but the employment numbers are concerning, especially when you separate the public and private sector
Good stuff as usual JF, I trust your perspective and your transparency, honesty and integrity continues to promote your videos (IMO). Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Calgary most likely will it never really got any of the pandemic bump and had the highest growth of people moving to and a lot of wealthy inward migration
@ haha it most definitely did, houses we were looking at 2.5 years ago were 400-500k and now are 700-800k… our unemployment is highest in the country, we had a flood of people moving here and a lot will likely head back, especially as other markets drop ours will follow… and if trump tariffs our oil the whole province will implode
@@philip1065 yeah I think you’ll see some adjustment but not as crazy as we think i’m here in BC and things have kind of reverted back to normal like a pre-Covid market and what my realtor‘s friends called that was a great year and now you got people like OP who probably make bank off this negative content, and hoping that the pandemic gains were normal and sustainable which they never were.
One example how about the 20k of condos where people are going backwards 1500 per month. Are they going to hang on forever ? Fixed Rates are rising , variable are coming down sure but the banks are having liquidity issues with all of the interest only and extended amortizations. Unemployment is about to Sky rocket and we based our economy on a real estate ponzi scheme the last 15 or so years fuelled by cheap money , lax credit and fraud. All ponzis eventually blow they may be able to inflate it a little further, but it will eventually blow and the longer they inflate the worse the carnage will be. It is not different this time it's just like late 80s heading into 90s except worse as people and companies for that matter are far more leverage then the past.
A minimum wage type job could buy a house before the currency was totally trashed by governments and central banks. My friend's single mom from China bought a house in the late 80s cleaning hotel rooms. Now it's worth over a million dollars. Why should young Canadians today accept a dogshit future?
Hey Jon, appreciate you sharing my video. My stance is that prices are likely to rise in the first few months of the year but after that is anyones best guess as there is a lot of uncertainty and dark clouds looming in the background. Thats why i say it may be a good chance for sellers to finally exit in the next couple months.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to Jon and to all his subscribers🎉. You always sail against the wave and that's your strength. Thankyou for sharing insightful content always.
The issue with the condos and the appearance of them holding their values is that none of the shoebox condos are selling, only the quality 2 and 3 bedrooms or more. Albeit, at much lower valuations. If the shoeboxes were selling they would drag down the whole condo market by about $200,000. We're not seeing the real value of the housing market as the lower end isn't selling and the higher end is selling for less. A person who can afford these rates or can drop cash isn't buying a low end townhome, bungalow or semi detached.
Thx so much for all your hard work in analyzing the RE market. As retirees that are currently renting and looking to reenter ( and own) sometime in 2025 or 2026, your unbiased and economy based insights are invaluable. We are actually monitoring your buying index closely. We simply cannot afford nor recover from buying too early. Suggestion. Mix in more discussion of falling CAD$ and inflation adjusted pricing. As today’s dollar buys one about 1/2 as much as it did just over ten years ago. House prices in gold or US $ is an interesting comparison to make. Anyway. Great work. And Merry Christmas !
Things could change when polievre gets in, could take a while to clean up the mess of turdeau, but most definately will change due to cancelling turdeau policy changes etc.
I have a feeling it's going to take him years to fix this. Like 10-20 years. This has been ongoing for longer than Trudeau but he accelerated it by a lot.
As inventory builds prices fall. As prices fall sales pick up. As sales pick up, the incentory gets mopped up. At some point, prices stop falling when the inventory balances out. If inventory dries up, prices rise. Its fairly predictable.
Also I believe he is Vegan also following W 3 F doctrines to end meat consumption for humans. Bill c 293 he introduced, gives government to stop animal production under the guise of epidemic readiness.
Should be interesting to see the unemployment rate by February, wonder if people will really tighten their wallet after Christmas. Allot of car repo's in the U.S. and allot of vehicles sitting in car lots here.
Jon I heard two guys asking themselves on their podcast who give you business because you’r very pessimistic! I thought myself, so people don’t like professionals who say the truth backed with numbers, they just want those realtors always pumping the market to make money no matter what! Hope you’r not starving due to your honesty! Merry Christmas!
In the 416 area, prices for freeholds are barely down, maybe 10% from the peak. Same for condos. It was always the case that prices for properties in the outskirts are more volatile. P.S. It's also the case that the price 'at the peak' was there for maybe 1 month, pretty meaningless. That's why it makes more sense to average it for a period of at least a few months. When looking at average prices, it's very likely that next spring they will look pretty close to the spring of 2021.
A key factor often overlooked is that over 25% of new homes are being acquired by investors, rather than individuals seeking primary residences. Even if Baby Boomers decide to offload their properties or more housing stock enters the market, it won’t alleviate the underlying issue. Wealthy investors will continue to absorb the available inventory, which will keep home prices elevated.
There's also a lack of discussion about the role that major financial institutions-banks, private equity firms, and giants like BlackRock-played by purchasing properties post-2008, treating them as investment assets. It's impossible to fully understand the current housing crisis without acknowledging this trend. Additionally, larger luxury properties are inherently more profitable than smaller, more affordable homes, leading developers to prioritize luxury developments for higher returns.
While I anticipate a future decrease in home prices, I currently recommend diversifying investments away from real estate. Shifting capital into the financial markets or commodities like gold is a safer bet given the current high mortgage rates, recession indicators, and tightened lending standards. Housing prices might need to correct by 40-50% before the market stabilizes. In uncertain times like these, getting independent financial advice from a market-savvy expert is essential.
That's impressive! I'd be happy to share more details. I understand the hesitation, especially when it feels like many firms offer similar services. However, finding a trustworthy advisor has been key to my success.
Rebecca Lynne Buie has consistently been my top recommendation. She’s widely recognized for her expertise in financial markets and has a strong track record. I highly recommend her.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m glad to have been of help, and I hope you find Rebecca Lynne Buie’s expertise valuable. Investing is a passion of mine as well, and I wish you success in safeguarding and growing your portfolio. God's blessings to you!
merry christmas jon. although i disagree with alot of what you push... i still appreciate your content for what it is, and wish you the very best in the new year too!
It would be interesting to see a “dollar value transaction” chart. Essentially it would be the avg price x number of units sold. Can you do such a chart for next video?
Thanks for this video John. So interesting. You didn’t address inventory though which I would imagine is much higher for condos.. but maybe I’m wrong? I get the idea that inventory is the big issue with Toronto condos. There are so many of them being listed and even more to come on the market and there just isn’t the demand for them right now. They built too many of them in Toronto in the last few years and they were bought up by “investors” but not nearly as many end users are interested in them as investors are. Not saying i disagree with you at all, I appreciate your content and balanced perspective so much, but just wanted to ask about that. Thank for all you share!
I’ve requested this a few times before… can you normalize these charts for population growth (esp the one shown at 9:20). For a country like Canada with huge year over year population worth, you really need to factor that into the analysis. It’s too big a factor to leave out. For the same reason, Canada is in a GDP per capita recession but not in a technical recession.
What are these ministers even doing? I feel like they must make minimum 120k a year if not more and all I ever hear out of Ottawa on housing is the occaisional boon to increase demand like the FHSA or increased borrowing limit from RRSPs
While the normal market variables indicate the price of real estate should fall back to pre 2020 levels, I wonder if the powers that be will let that happen? If the money supply remains high and investors (including politicians) continue to buy real estate, the price will remain high. That is the goal after all - to make us all renters.
The peak in 2022 was artififial due to pandemic , so being down from there is not that relevant. Qulity freehold in good location seems to be fina due to strong demand and low supply, but condos are the opposite and crash is just starting
Why do people around the one answering questions always nod their heads as he/she speaks? Do they teach them this in their party internal meetings? Is that supposed to be like the psychological game for the viewing audience. These politicians have the same tactics as door to door salesman.
I think it's maybe an unconscious manner of expressing support of the person speaking. Not necessarily because you agree with what they are saying. I find that I do it without even thinking about it. Irritating habit.
Since 2020 the volume of money supply added and investors in the housing market have played a major role in doubling real estate prices. What that means in 2025 remains to be seen.
Should I buy in the next few months? I’ve been waiting for the last 2 years but I really don’t think prices are gonna change, there just isn’t enough houses, to much demand always
The decision is yours as you need to analyze your objective to buy the house. Is it to raise your family or is it just to get in housing market out of fomo? If the objective is the first one which is buy it for your family, then please proceed as you will need to raise your family regardless. Depending on whom you ask, there will be people who will say buy yesterday as the market will get busy and on the other hand, you will find folks who are waiting from the last 10 years for the market to crash. At the end of the day, you will sign the doted line and you need to analyze your requirements in line with your budget. Best of luck !
Market sentiment is low..that's all you have to know...recession would freeze the market...25% tariffs would be a death blow..Canada should join hhe EU or BRICS
In which real estate market? I think everyone really needs to stop saying real estate market, there’s no point in calling it that. It’s many real estate markets and they are all different. The average of market information doesn’t mean a lot because there are probably no one that’s buying the average national house.
The cad value is droping, unemployement is raising, crime/drug use is skyrocking, debt at all time high and still rising, macroeconomic partner are droping us. Its not about a housing crash anymore, its about a failling advance economy, feel free to invest in immobile asset in a soon to be bankrupt country... I maybe wrong, but my risk management dont allow that amount of risk/reward.
@@yvesgingras1475 Dropping has two p's in it. There's zero chance Canada goes "bankrupt"... we have an abundance of natural resources, and it's a viewed on a global stage as desirable place to live. The issues we have all stem from the country being managed poorly... but we're getting new leadership soon. I am confident they will fix many of those things you listed. The future looks bright.
Your so-called technical chart analysis is of ZERO value in the real estate market. Have you ever backtested your method or you're just taking technical analysis from a very different type of market?
!I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated..
As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market..
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking??
There's another factor that affected the value of real estate in 2020 - printing money. When they printed money in 2020 the value of the dollar was reduced. Although it appeared the cost of homes increased, in reality it was the drop in the value of the dollar that had an immediate effect on the value of real estate. I believe Jon proved this when he compared the real estate prices using gold versus the dollar.
@ absolutely correct. I didn’t want to post a long post, but the deficits and government spending is ruining our currency. I am not optimistic about the future of the dollar.
Merry Christmas Jon. Thank you for giving us an honest critique of the reality market.
My pleasure!

Market stays irrational for longer then you can stay solvent!
Vacant new homes all over the place in kw for years , no shortage of homes just a shortage of affordable homes .
Speculators trying to hang on
They wont be able to hang on much longer
In Toronto I saw a $1.3 mil townhome renting for over $6,000... If the going rate is even 2/3rd of that, they can "hang on" forever.
One example how about the 20k of condos where people are going backwards 1500 per month. Are they going to hang on forever ? Fixed Rates are rising , variable are coming down sure but the banks are having liquidity issues with all of the interest only and extended amortizations. Unemployment is about to Sky rocket and we based our economy on a real estate ponzi scheme the last 15 or so years fuelled by cheap money , lax credit and fraud.

Should I buy in the next few months? I’ve been waiting for the last 2 years but I really don’t think prices are gonna change, there just isn’t enough houses, to much demand always
The decision is yours as you need to analyze your objective to buy the house. Is it to raise your family or is it just to get in housing market out of fomo? If the objective is the first one which is buy it for your family, then please proceed as you will need to raise your family regardless. Depending on whom you ask, there will be people who will say buy yesterday as the market will get busy and on the other hand, you will find folks who are waiting from the last 10 years for the market to crash. At the end of the day, you will sign the doted line and you need to analyze your requirements in line with your budget. Best of luck !
The % price drop will be directly correlated to credit quality of borrowers.
Well the cringe real estate agent would never get my business .
That video from realtor so CRINGE !!! I MEAN REALLY??

Best tree ever.

Market sentiment is low..that's all you have to know...recession would freeze the market...25% tariffs would be a death blow..Canada should join hhe EU or BRICS
Move to a small town. Housing is cheaper.
We need a new election, here I said it,....Merry Christmas.
Yep
In which real estate market? I think everyone really needs to stop saying real estate market, there’s no point in calling it that. It’s many real estate markets and they are all different. The average of market information doesn’t mean a lot because there are probably no one that’s buying the average national house.
Thank you for real information. Happy holidays!
How come these guys keep talking about sacrifices and time , however, there are no positive impacts or results to show for any of that?
If you stood beside JT throughout what he’s done to Canada, you are a traitor.
Thats a huge percentage of the country. Of course they are all going to pretend they didn't now.
Condos can be Freehold.
It’s a form of ownership, can’t be both but certain elements can be such as freehold with condo road
that was your crash boys. enjoy.
The cad value is droping, unemployement is raising, crime/drug use is skyrocking, debt at all time high and still rising, macroeconomic partner are droping us. Its not about a housing crash anymore, its about a failling advance economy, feel free to invest in immobile asset in a soon to be bankrupt country... I maybe wrong, but my risk management dont allow that amount of risk/reward.
@@yvesgingras1475 Dropping has two p's in it. There's zero chance Canada goes "bankrupt"... we have an abundance of natural resources, and it's a viewed on a global stage as desirable place to live. The issues we have all stem from the country being managed poorly... but we're getting new leadership soon. I am confident they will fix many of those things you listed. The future looks bright.
Was that some cheap Bollywood production or she actually thought she was making a professional real estate video.
Wow our politicians are such good sprakers,friendly and such a good dad, trained by the same BS master, private tutor of our beloved Trudeau....
Too many side discussions and side track. You can simplify it by maximum 3 slideshow

Your so-called technical chart analysis is of ZERO value in the real estate market. Have you ever backtested your method or you're just taking technical analysis from a very different type of market?

!I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated..
As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market..
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I've been
making more than $200k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don't have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking??
Eh, which housing minister consults his wife more than anything 😅? Is this South Korea?

Our country is in shambles
It is only going to get worse in canada!
Thanks, Merry Christmas
Delinquencies: wait til the 25% tariffs.
If he was really interested in making a difference, he would vote nonconfidence against the imbecile PM.
Real estate is not rocket science. The value is determined by supply & demand and interest rates. It’s cyclical.
There's another factor that affected the value of real estate in 2020 - printing money. When they printed money in 2020 the value of the dollar was reduced. Although it appeared the cost of homes increased, in reality it was the drop in the value of the dollar that had an immediate effect on the value of real estate. I believe Jon proved this when he compared the real estate prices using gold versus the dollar.
@ absolutely correct. I didn’t want to post a long post, but the deficits and government spending is ruining our currency. I am not optimistic about the future of the dollar.
I like the battery 🪫 theory for our young buyers
