If you’re a Canadian homebuyer in 2025, you’ve walked into a rare market opportunity. I’ve spent years analyzing shifts in housing cycles across this country, and I’ve never seen a convergence like this: cooling prices, rising listings, and interest rates on the retreat. But with opportunity comes caution and smart buyers will navigate this landscape with strategy, not impulse.

1. Market Pulse: Declining Prices, Rising Sales

Let’s anchor our view in data. June 2025 saw a 2.8% increase in national home sales compared to May and a modest 3.5% year-over-year rise but prices tell the real story. The Home Price Index fell 0.2% month-over-month and 3.7% from last year; average selling prices dropped 1.3% annually  .

In metropolitan Toronto, sales hit a five-month high while the local price index dropped 0.9% in June showing buyers are back at the table  .

This isn’t the panic of a crash this is a balanced market offering choice, lower prices, and renewed negotiating clout.

2. Why Buyers Have the Advantage Right Now

The national Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio (SNLR) is hovering near 50%, marking a balanced but buyer-leaning landscape  . In Ontario, particularly the GTA, the SNLR sits at just 29–34% firmly in buyer’s market territory    

Banks are responding too: the Bank of Canada has cut policy rates by about 125–225 bps since mid‑2024, pushing 5‑year fixed mortgage averages to roughly 3.9%  . That means more affordability and predictable monthly payments.

3. Strategic Buying Tactics That Work

Get mortgage pre‑approval now. Lock in current rates before uncertain economic signs dampen lender appetite or rates climb again.

Time your visits during off‑peak hours. Weekday showings often mean more negotiating leverage don’t attend open houses en masse.

Include strong protections. Conditions like financing approval, home inspections, and appraisal clauses are non-negotiable in today’s market.

Use comparables smartly. Present offers 3–5% below asking if comps support it more listings equal more power.

Look beyond condos. Single‑family homes and townhouses, especially in the Prairies and Quebec, not only hold value they may break provincial benchmark records   .

Consider fixer-uppers. Renovation homes and energy-efficiency incentives (like CMHC grants) stretch your dollar and boost long-term value.

Stay ready for a turn. Markets recover quickly today’s buyers need to be flexible in case competitive bidding resurfaces.

4. Regional Highlights & Hot Markets

Ontario/GTA: Deepest buyer’s market in Canada. The SNLR of ~29–34% means a surplus of listings real negotiating space  .

Prairies & Quebec: Surprisingly strong performance Saskatchewan and Manitoba are near seller’s markets; Quebec benchmark highs continue  .

Atlantic Canada (NS, NB): Balanced territory, but prices in NS are climbing, signaling potential pressure soon  .

This internal “two‑speed” reality offers buyers choices: maximize affordability in hot markets or secure long-term equity in growth zones.

5. Macro Risks You Must Watch

Tensions at the U.S. border still cast a shadow. A Reuters survey forecasts a 2% national price decline in 2025, influenced by trade uncertainty even as buyers gather purchasing power   .

On population, new immigration caps could ease demand pressure potentially keeping prices flat into 2026  . In the long term, however, Canada’s demand curve remains strong.

6. Smart Tech & Financial Tools

Use mortgage calculators and rate trackers to understand total borrowing costs.

Try CRM platforms or alert apps for early listing notifications.

Opt for VR tours they save time and help pre-screen properties before in-person visits.

7. Buyer Checklist: From Search to Close

8. What’s Next: Risks and Rewards

Rates could tick back up or stay low buyers need to be ready for both scenarios.

If trade tensions ease and supply remains tight, a gentle rebound may follow in late 2025 into 2026.

Buyers prepared now with financing, inspections, and strategy will be poised to act quickly and secure the best deals.

🎯 Final Takeaway: Don’t Wait - Act Smart

Canada’s 2025 real estate landscape is presenting a rare opening: affordability, choice, and interest rate stability. But opportunity favors the prepared. Start with firm pre‑approval, explore emerging regions, and stay alert to shifting conditions even gentle market tremors matter.

In short: Buyers, this is your moment. Now is the time to plan, be ready, and seize the deal.

Listo offers a revolutionary all-in-one real estate platform that consolidates a diverse range of housing options. Whether you are looking for resale homes, pre-construction opportunities, custom-built havens, or assignments, Listo has it all.

For buyers looking for an easy and simplified option to search real estate listings, Listo is a first-of-its-kind experience that provides a single-holistic platform giving buyers in-depth searches on the history of various properties, developers, launch dates, inventories, expert insights and tools, guiding them towards making informed real estate decisions.

Listo also has a separate section dedicated to new buyers where they can easily filter their housing search based on price range and the number of bedrooms they desire. For investors and developers, Listo grants access to the most comprehensive list of investor and development properties in Canada. They can search, compare, and evaluate different opportunities, equipped with the insights and tools.

For those dreaming of a property but struggling to afford it alone, Listo has introduced a unique co-ownership feature, enabling buyers to share costs and ownership with another buyer. It's an innovative solution that makes dream ownership within reach.

Now, let's dive into the amazing session between Listo's co-founders Harman Shahi, Ajan Kanaga & Aravinth Ratnasingam & Techrangle Director, Riju Vashisht. 😊

Riju: "Hi Listo team, welcome to our exclusive interview session. How are you all doing?

Listo: "Hi Riju, we are doing well. Thank you for having us."

Riju: "You're welcome! Could you please tell us what inspired you to start Listo? Is there a specific problem or gap in the market that you aimed to address?"

Listo: "Yes, our perspective on this has two sides to it. Firstly, we felt there was a real need for a platform that brings together resale, pre-construction, assignment, and custom homes all in one place. Imagine if you're looking to make a move to a specific neighborhood in Markham – you should be able to see the full spectrum of available properties right there. Why should someone have to visit multiple websites to gather this information? It just seemed like a hassle we could simplify.

And secondly, our aim is to inject more accuracy and reliability into the real estate scene. We have come across numerous buyers, especially from the Gen Z cohort, who are feeling disheartened by the mixed information they receive about pre-construction projects – details like inventory and dates are all over the place. We're really keen on collaborating with developers, particularly those from smaller to medium-sized builders, to establish ourselves as the go-to source for solid real estate data. Our goal is to be that trustworthy partner everyone can turn to."

Riju: "How does Listo differentiate itself from other real estate apps currently available in the market?"

Listo: "There are many fantastic real estate apps out there, and we’ve taken all the best features and narrowed them down to what users really need and love.

Investors & Renovators - We've got these super-smart algorithms that do all the heavy lifting for you. For instance, if you're on the lookout for properties that tick all the boxes for investors – our algorithms swoop in and find you perfect matches, complete with rental rate of return data.

First Time Buyers - Listo keeps a watchful eye on prices, we sense the market temperature, and we even give you hints about new areas that could be your perfect match if you're a first-time buyer.

New Way To Search - We have flipped the script on how you search. You can search "Where can I find a 4-bedroom gem for under $900K?" or "What's the scoop on $800K listings in Brampton?" It's like discovering hidden gems that totally fit your needs and your budget.

Co-Ownership - We know it's tough to find the right investors among your friends. As you are browsing Listo, you can click a button to show some interest, and we bring like-minded folks together to create something bigger and better.

Nearby Listings - Imagine you are cruising down the street and you spot a house that piques your interest. Tap the nearby button on Listo, and voilà – you get what the house is listed for, or what it was sold for. No need to call the realtor!

Ultimately, we want to make Listo as your trusty sidekick to simplify real estate, create co-ownership connections, and give you answers without the hassle."

Riju: "Could you explain the key features and functionalities of Listo that make it stand out?"

Listo: "Sure. As our mission states, you don't have to stick to just one type of property. Resale, pre-construction, custom homes – Listo puts them all together for you, ready for you to compare and chat about with ease.

Listo is all about keeping things super easy and convenient. You can add properties and communities to your watch list – it's like creating your very own personal radar for listing status and price changes."

Riju: "How does Listo leverage technology to enhance the user experience and simplify the home buying/selling process?"

Listo: "Our tech playground is AWS – the perfect spot for future growth. Utilizing Google services, Hoodq, ChatGPT, and Ghost blogging system keeps us agile and adaptable."

Riju: "What strategies has Listo implemented to ensure accurate and up-to-date property information is available to users?"

Listo: "When it comes to resale properties, we have teamed up with the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), which allows us to gather resale and sold listings every single hour. This means you're always getting the most up-to-date information.

For the exclusive assignments and unique custom homes, our admin team does their due diligence, checking all the paperwork before a property even makes it onto Listo. They're on top of things with weekly follow-ups to ensure the listing's status is always on point."

Riju: "Could you tell us more about the "sold history" feature of Listo? How does it benefit users and contribute to their decision-making process?"

Listo: "One of the most popular features on Listo is the historical data analysis; getting a peek into the past to understand pricing trends and property movements.

Let's say a house has been sold within a week for the last two rounds – that's a hint of a desirable area, prompting potential buyers to act swiftly.

And that's not all – Listo also helps decode leasing patterns too. If you notice that a unit has been leased in a matter of days over the past few rounds, that's a telltale sign of a sought-after building. It's a clear signal to buyers that units in this building don't hang around for long, nudging them to make their move promptly."

Riju: "Pre-construction upcoming projects are of great interest to many homebuyers. How does Listo provide information on such projects and assist users in staying updated?"

Listo: "When we circle back to our mission, it's all about boosting transparency in the real estate realm, with a special focus on the pre-construction. Our aim is simple: we're striving to populate Listo with data straight from the source – the builder themselves.

We believe in delivering accurate and reliable data to our users, even if it means focusing on a more select dataset. It's about building trust, empowering users, and ensuring that every interaction on Listo is grounded in authenticity."

Riju: "Can you elaborate on the other cool features that Listo offers to homebuyers, sellers, and realtors?"

Listo: "Yes, Listo has some amazing features such as,

Co-Ownership - A whole new way to dive into real estate. Users can show interest in percentage of a property. Imagine partnering up with others like-minded people, pooling your resources for something bigger and better.

Price Decreases - Then there's the price change alerts. When it comes to staying on top of prices, Listo is like your personal alert system. Get notified about increases and decreases, so you're always in the know.

What’s Trending - Peek into which properties are stealing the spotlight – whether they are the most viewed, bookmarked, or shared. It's like tapping into the real estate heartbeat.

Custom Homes – We were involved in a custom home development in Kingsway south area, a charming niche area. People always strolled by, curious about the house, but we had no place to send them for information. That moment, we thought there is a need for a platform to showcase custom homes pre-market."

Popular Buildings - Now, if you've got a thing for a particular building in the GTA, we have got you covered. Just add it to your favorites, and you get everything on that building – you're tuned in, hassle-free.

Riju: "How does Listo cater to the needs of real estate professionals and assist them in their daily operations?"

Listo: "Listo has several features that can help sellers and buyers alike in seeing the market trends of areas. Our stats page can break down the sales in an area, the average price, selling speed of buildings, what kinds of buildings are being sold, and more.

This can help professionals with observing trends and investment decisions."

Riju: "In terms of user experience, what steps has Listo taken to ensure a seamless and intuitive interface for its users?"

Listo: "Looking at the strengths and weaknesses of existing website layouts/interfaces, we have taken steps to make Listo a better platform not only for desktop users, but intended for mobile usage as well.

The biggest challenges were to integrate a higher level of options and detail with our search functions without making the extra amount of information too visually dense."

Riju: "Are there any plans to expand Listo's services beyond its current offerings? If yes, could you provide some insights into what we can expect in the future?"

Listo: "We're planning to team up with additional real estate boards to expand our pool of resale data.

Partnership with builders - With Listo, we're rolling out a special access feature exclusively for builders. They can take the reins and update their own project details and inventory. After all, not every builder has the time or inclination to manage their own website – they're experts in building, and that's where Listo comes in."

Riju: "What kind of data analytics and insights does Listo provide to its users to help them make informed decisions?"

Listo: "We're deeply immersed in real estate data analytics and insights. Despite having access to 20+ years of real estate information, our priority is trends – the recent 30, 60, and 90-day snapshots, along with future projections.

Here's the kicker: our analysis is no mere numbers game. We're diving into key metrics, like new listings versus sold properties and the balance between price increases and decreases. This forms the basis for understanding market trends and whether it leans towards buyers or sellers."

Riju: "How has Listo utilized user feedback to improve its platform and enhance the overall experience?"

Listo: "We've had cycles of users and testers to give feedback on the website, and have iterated on the website for the past year to ensure that the functionality and design are of higher standards."

Riju: "Are there any partnerships or collaborations that Listo has established with real estate agencies or industry players to further enhance its services?"

Listo: "Listo boasts strategic partnerships with GTA developers, affording us privileged pre-construction access upon project release. This advantage empowers us to offer clients unparalleled real estate opportunities and services in the highly competitive market."

Riju: "What is the vision and long-term goal for Listo? How do you see it evolving in the coming years?"

Listo: "Our foremost objective at Listo is to serve the GTA real estate market with utmost precision and efficiency. By providing up-to-date and accurate data, we equip our clients with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.

Our commitment to simplifying the real estate buying process ensures that clients navigate the intricacies with ease, streamlining their experience and transforming their property aspirations into reality."

Riju: "Lastly, how can interested individuals, homebuyers, sellers, and realtors get started with Listo? Are there any subscription plans or pricing models they should be aware of?"

Listo: "Listo does not have any pricing model. All the information we provide is open to both the public and realtors alike.

The only thing we ask is that users create a free Listo account in order to access the sold data."

Riju: "That's really phenomenal! We really appreciate you for sharing about how Listo simplifies housing journey and empowers buyers with expert insights and tools, guiding them towards making informed real estate decisions. Take care team! It was nice talking to you."

We really hope that you loved our exclusive interview session with team Listo.

FRIENDS Realty Point Brokerage, located in GTA, Ontario and founded by Rohin Aneja, is an exceptional boutique brokerage specializing in Preconstruction and Resale across GTA.

Rohin believes in building a relationship of trust with his clients over transactions. Over the past few years, FRIENDS Realty Point Brokerage has so far succeeded in providing great value to its clients. Let's take a look at some of the reviews from their clients:

Rohin treats his clients like a family member. He is very knowledgeable and has his own way of doing the things which makes him different from other agents in the market. He always shows the pros and cons of the property, best pricing possibilities and on top of that, he always stays in touch when required. His guidance has always been reliable.

We are extremely glad that we dealt with Rohin for our home buying process. As a first-time home buyer, we had our fair share of anxieties and Rohin made sure everything was taken care of to our satisfaction. Be it last minute appointments, making sure we submit the right amount for bids, responding to our queries as soon as possible - he was always there for us every single moment with all his positivity, warmth and emphatic attitude.  He is not at all an unnecessarily pushy advisor and we would strongly recommend him.

Now, let's read about the spectacular realtor, whose prime focus is to guide his clients to make informed decisions and mitigate risks, Rohin Aneja interview session with Techrangle Director, Riju Vashisht. 😊

Riju: "Hi Rohin, welcome to our Exclusive Interview session  for successful realtors? How are you?"

Rohin: "Hello Riju! I'm doing great. Thank you for having me."

Riju: "Great! We have heard that you are a successful preconstruction realtor. What distinguishes you in the preconstruction real estate industry?"

Rohin: "Well, achieving success was not an overnight journey for me. There was a time when I was in a challenging phase of my life where I doubted my skills, and that’s the point which changed my entire life. I didn't give up, instead I believed in myself, got the emotional support from my friends and family, tried to sell as many units as possible even for the older preconstruction projects, and ultimately won builders’ trust and that’s how builders started giving me new projects for promoting & selling.

The fact that distinguishes me from other realtors in the real estate industry is that I don’t sell for the sake of selling, I believe in building a relationship of trust with my clients over transactions. I work as per the budget and preferences of my clients so they can comfortably fulfill the dream of having a place to call their own home. Along with that, I go out of the way to get extra incentives for my clients."

Riju: "Could you please tell us that if someone approaches you, how do you help? What are your initial steps?"

Rohin: "I provide professional consultation to my clients but in a very comfortable & friendly way, then I act as a matchmaker and match the properties with my client’s requirements. That’s how I choose the best investment opportunity as per my clients’ preferences.

Real estate is not just about selling properties. I’m not a pushy realtor who pressurizes people to invest in real estate without guiding them. I believe that if someone is looking to invest, they should have proper knowledge of everything. And that’s where I come in play. I take the time to educate my clients before they jump into real estate investing. They get to learn about different investment strategies, market trends, financing options, and property analysis. My background is MBA and I am a number guy, I show them the numbers, if I don’t see value in a project then we work with another projects. Building a strong foundation of knowledge helps them make informed decisions and mitigate risks."

Riju: "What's the post-pandemic impact on the real estate industry, what activities do you perform, and how the pandemic has changed your daily schedule?"

Rohin: "The one thing that pandemic has taught us is that branding & marketing have a great influence in the real estate industry. They differentiate you, help in building trust and targeting specific audiences. Effective marketing strategies helps you nurture relationships, and generate referrals. Investing in branding and marketing ensures long-term business growth and success in the competitive real estate industry but requires adaptation to the market changes.

At FRIENDS Realty Point Brokerage, we foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement through organizing team events where I provide knowledge & training to motivate my team which has resulted in a significant positive impact on their performance, client satisfaction, and the long-term success of the FRIENDS Realty Point Brokerage team. The team events are followed by lunch parties which we missed the most during the pandemic. We are also planning to do a client appreciation event soon."

Riju: "How do you differentiate yourself from others? What exceptional services do you provide to your clients?"

Rohin: "As they say, winners don’t do different things but do things differently. At FRIENDS Realty Point Brokerage, our clients are our FRIENDS. We prioritize building relationships with our clients as we believe that when there is a strong sense of friendship, problem-solving becomes easier, and our clients feel more at ease with our services.

By adopting this approach, clients experience a sense of freedom from pressure. As we establish trust and provide them with a comfortable environment, there is no turning back. Over the past few years, we have successfully completed multiple deals and transactions. Additionally, we offer portfolio analysis services to our clients, aiming to optimize their real estate portfolios and enhance the value of each transaction."

Riju: "What's your selling point? Can you share a brief description of your services?"

Rohin: "FRIENDS Realty Point Brokerage is your all-inclusive destination for a wide range of real estate services. Whether you are interested in buying, selling or investing in resale, commercial, or preconstruction properties, we deal in everything. If you need assistance with securing a mortgage, construction-related matters, or seeking legal guidance, our team is always here to assist you."

Riju: "How someone can start working with you when someone is looking to buy their dream home or looking to invest in preconstruction properties?"

Rohin: "We offer a no-obligation buying process that begins with a personalized consultation. During this consultation, we encourage our clients to express their preferences regarding the type of property they are seeking for investment. Through a prequalifying set of questions, we aim to gain a better understanding of their requirements. In just 30 minutes, we can provide a clear picture of what would be suitable for them, enabling them to access their dream home that aligns with their specific needs and preferences."

Riju: "What are the challenges you face as a realtor?"

Rohin: "As a realtor, we often encounter the challenge of clients expecting us to provide absolutely certain advice on whether investing in real estate is the right choice. While we possess extensive knowledge and professionalism, there are instances where we must take the necessary time to understand every aspect of a client's preferences before guiding them for their real estate investments. Rome was not built in one day, just like that, everything takes time. It is crucial to recognize that even institutions as renowned as Lehman Brothers could not foresee the great recession.

We have a list of tasks and a process to follow for each client. Let’s say you want to list a property, we have a structured process in place for that. Let me explain it briefly, first, we prepare a comprehensive listing presentation by conducting a comparative analysis of similar homes in the neighborhood. We assess if any necessary repairs are required to enhance the property's appeal. Our stager then arrives to stage the property, making it more visually attractive so that buyers can imagine themselves living there. To generate interest, we market the property on various social media platforms, engage in door knocking, and distribute flyers. Open houses are conducted to showcase the property to potential buyers. Ultimately, our goal is to successfully sell the property, ensuring a smooth and efficient transaction."

Riju: "How do you guide new agents in preconstruction real estate? Can you provide some useful tips for agents to be successful?"

Rohin: "It is highly important for new agents to approach the real estate profession with a disciplined mindset and a patient attitude. Their routine should involve spending time in door knocking, and sticking to a well-organized schedule for their tasks. While becoming a realtor may be relatively easy, what often gets overlooked is the path to becoming a successful realtor. To achieve success, you must maintain a hunger for growth and possess a genuine passion for closing deals. I still sit in the office 7 days a week and I still don’t call myself successful. But along with all the hard work, don’t forget to rest and motivate yourself. Remember, the only competition you have is yourself. At FRIENDS Realty Point Brokerage, I am committed to being available for my real estate agents, providing assistance with any deals they require help with. The secret to our growth lies in our business model, which emphasizes teamwork, creating a supportive and enjoyable work environment. With my expertise and knowledge, I have helped agents doing their deals in their very first week. We offer exclusive leads as part of our package to further support our agents' success."

Riju: "Will the recent pause on interest rate hikes make home buying affordable for buyers? How about inflation?"

Rohin: "Although the Bank of Canada has paused the interest rate hikes to curb inflation in the economy, however, the growing stream of immigrants has increased the demand for housing, making it nearly impossible to build enough houses each year. There is a serious shortage of inventory, leading to a potential increase in rental prices. Consequently, it is advisable for people to start saving money right now to secure their own homes, ensuring financial freedom."

Riju: "Any knowledgeable words for fellow realtors and upcoming salespeople?"

Rohin: "While real estate might seem like a very attractive profession where realtors drive luxury cars and wear expensive watches, it is important to recognize that it is a very demanding profession. If you really aspire to be a successful realtor, then your mindset should extend beyond solely making money. You should be passionate enough to help people buy their dream homes and sell their current homes. By adopting a helpful and supportive attitude, your business will automatically grow."

We really hope that you loved our exclusive interview session with Rohin Aneja.

Excited to buy a house, but worried about how to apply for mortgage loan? 🤔

Mortgage fraud is a serious issue that can have devastating consequences for homeowners. It occurs when someone intentionally misrepresents or omits important information in order to obtain a mortgage loan. This can include falsifying income or employment information, inflating the value of a property, or failing to disclose relevant information about the borrower's credit history.

Mortgage fraud can lead to homeowners losing their homes, as well as financial ruin. However, there are steps that homeowners can take to protect themselves from mortgage fraud. Here are some tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of mortgage fraud:

1. Be wary of unsolicited offers: If someone contacts you with an unsolicited offer to help you obtain a mortgage loan, be skeptical. Many fraudulent schemes start with an unsolicited offer that seems too good to be true. It's important to do your own research and work with reputable lenders and brokers.
2. Review all documents carefully: Before you sign any documents, make sure you understand what you are signing. Review all documents carefully and don't hesitate to ask questions if something seems unclear. Look out for any discrepancies or inconsistencies, and don't sign anything that you don't understand.
3. Verify the identity of the lender: Be sure to verify the identity of the lender or broker you are working with. Make sure that they are licensed and registered with the appropriate regulatory agency. You can check the lender's credentials by contacting the National Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) or the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
4. Get a second opinion: If you are unsure about the terms of a mortgage loan, it's a good idea to get a second opinion from a trusted financial advisor or attorney. They can review the loan documents and help you to identify any potential issues.
5. Be wary of "no-doc" loans: Be cautious when considering a "no-doc" loan. These types of loans require minimal documentation and are often used by borrowers who are trying to hide something. The risk of fraud is higher with no-doc loans, so it's important to be extra vigilant when considering this type of loan.
6. Don't rush into a decision: Don't feel pressured into making a decision about a mortgage loan. Take the time to research your options

Marketing is an essential aspect of the real estate business, particularly for agents operating in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) where the competition is fierce. Here are a few reasons why marketing is important for real estate agents in the GTA:

1. Increased Visibility: Real estate agents who engage in effective marketing efforts are more likely to be seen by potential clients. This is particularly important in the GTA where there are a high number of agents vying for the same clients.
2. Branding: Marketing allows real estate agents to create a strong brand image and establish themselves as experts in their field. This can help them to differentiate themselves from their competitors and attract more clients.

1. Building Trust: Marketing allows real estate agents to build trust with potential clients by providing them with valuable information and resources. This can help to establish the agent as a trusted advisor and increase the chances of closing a sale.
2. Staying Ahead of the Competition: The real estate market in the GTA is constantly changing, and agents who stay on top of the latest trends and technologies are more likely to be successful. Marketing can help agents to stay ahead of the competition by keeping them informed about the latest trends and best practices.

1. Generating Leads: Marketing can help agents to generate leads by reaching out to potential clients through various channels such as social media, email marketing, and online advertising.

In summary, marketing is crucial for real estate agents in the GTA as it allows them to increase their visibility, build trust, stay ahead of the competition, generate leads, and establish themselves as experts in their field. Effective marketing efforts can make all the difference in a highly competitive market like the GTA.

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) real estate market has been experiencing a period of growth and expansion in recent years, with rising demand and prices for both residential and commercial properties.

The recent announcement by the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates may have a significant impact on the housing market. A higher interest rate means that borrowing costs for mortgages and other loans will increase, which could slow down the demand for housing and lead to a decrease in home prices.

When interest rates rise, it becomes more expensive for individuals and families to borrow money to purchase a home. As a result, some potential buyers may be priced out of the market or may choose to wait until interest rates come down before making a purchase. This decrease in demand for housing could lead to a decrease in home prices as sellers may have to lower their asking prices in order to attract buyers.

However, it's important to note that the impact on the housing market will not be the same across the country. For example, markets where the housing prices are already high and the levels of household debt are also high, such as the Greater Toronto Area and Greater Vancouver Area, the impact might be more severe than in other markets.

Additionally, it's also important to consider that this rate hike is a sign of a strong economy, which could lead to more job opportunities and higher incomes, which in turn could offset the impact of higher interest rates on the housing market.

In conclusion, the recent interest rate hike by the Bank of Canada may have a cooling effect on the housing market, but it's important to keep in mind that the impact will vary depending on the specific market and the overall economic conditions. It's also important for buyers and sellers to keep an eye on the interest rates and make informed decisions accordingly.

One of the main drivers of this trend has been the strong economy of the region, which has attracted a large number of people and businesses to the GTA. This has led to an increase in demand for housing, both for purchase and for rent, as well as for commercial space for businesses of all sizes.

Another factor contributing to the growth of the GTA real estate market is the region's diversity and multiculturalism. The GTA is home to a large and diverse population, which has led to a wide range of housing options and styles, from high-rise condominiums to single-family homes. This variety of options has made the region attractive to buyers and renters from all backgrounds and with all types of needs.

Despite the strong demand for real estate in the GTA, there are also some challenges facing the market. One of the biggest challenges is the limited supply of available properties, which has led to increased competition and higher prices. Additionally, the high cost of living in the region can make it difficult for some buyers and renters to afford the properties they want.

Despite these challenges, the GTA real estate market remains a strong and vibrant one, with many opportunities for buyers, sellers, and investors. Whether you are looking for a place to call home, or a commercial property to grow your business, the GTA is a great place to start your search. With its strong economy, diverse population, and wide range of housing options, the Greater Toronto Area is a market that is sure to continue to grow and evolve in the years to come.

Jyoti has mentored many families who are new to Canada. “It gives me pleasure to help families who are seeking guidance whether it’s the whereabouts, know-hows, motivation, moral support, job hunting, or resume building,” explains Jyoti. “I am an immigrant myself and was in their position ten years ago.”

Now, let's dive into the amazing session between Jyoti Shamnani & Techrangle Director, Riju Vashisht. 😊

Riju: "Hi Jyoti, welcome to our Exclusive interview session for successful realtors? How are you?

Jyoti: "Hi Riju, I'm doing well. Thank you for this opportunity on this exclusive platform."

Riju: "Could you please tell us that if someone approaches you, how do you help? What are your initial steps?"

Jyoti: "That's a great question - and as our Moto goes - My Approach; As Unique As You, we provide a tailored approach based on the initial intake questions. It is going to be a different approach for a newcomer to Canada than the buyer who is already in Canada, moreover a remote buyer will
have completely different requirements."

Riju: "Do you have any programs or links that you help people with?"

Jyoti: "Absolutely! I am glad you asked. So, we have a multitude of helpful information depending on the requirements of our clientele. Our approach is education based and we pride ourselves on 'Service Above Profits’.
If a family is looking for guidance on their initial days and are not ready to decide a location, we do have videos on our YouTube Channel that talks about Reasons to Love and Live in e.g. Mississauga, Oakville, Milton and more.

We also have presentations that talk about these things in depth, various neighbourhoods in different cities, education system etc. While others who are ready to take decision we guide them with the financials."

Our main focus is to give them the best experience when they land in Canada. There is overwhelming information on the internet these days and therefore, connecting with a person who has been there 10 years ago I feel I understand the journey and this is something close to my heart.

Riju: "Post Pandemic Impact on the real estate industry, what activities do you perform and how the pandemic has changed your daily schedule. How are you working in this unprecedented time?"

Jyoti: "I have been changing cities as my father had transferable job that moved to changing countries as a trailing wife - adaptability has become my second nature. I’ve realized that I have a knack of setting unachievable or high goals for myself and I lose sleep over it until I have achieved them.
I was traveling to Amsterdam and Germany a few days before the world was shut down and I had loads of ideas in my mind that I wanted to use in my business.

One good thing about travelling to different countries is that you pick various attributes and ideas and try to incorporate them in your work and life. In fact, I would say pandemic actually initiated a forced appreciation of technology and work from home trend (the very reason I quit from the corporate world).

I started zoom interviews with women entrepreneurs to see how they were doing and realized we are all sailing in the same boat. I worked on my branding, website, social media presence, ordered safety kits - masks, sanitizers, shoe covers, etc for showings as client’s safety is our priority. Pivoting, adapting to the new norm to be able to service our clients was and is our main focus always."

Riju: "That's phenomenal, Jyoti. What's your take on the after effects of the pandemic on the real estate industry?"

Jyoti: "We as human beings tend to send our experiences in the past pretty quickly. Although the world isn’t going to be the same, we have moved on while the pandemic hasn’t been declared to be over yet.

We all know there will be over 1M immigrants still coming to Canada, we still have housing shortage, China is having its own challenges, we have been affected by Russia/Ukraine war, inflation, interest rate hike and more such social economic factors. Therefore, the real estate industry will have its ups and downs but in opinion it is still a sustainable industry.

As per Malsow's hierarchy, this is a basic necessity of survival. History has evidence of our evolution and we all saw worldwide spike in house prices as people wanted to move out and away from the dense areas, close to nature, and more privacy which resulted in the price hike and demand in the suburban areas. I am eagerly waiting to see the impact on housing once back to work physically will be initiated at a larger scale."

Riju: "Wonderful! That's really phenomenal, Jyoti. We really appreciate you for sharing your valuable experience for us to educate our readers about your business as well as real estate in general. Take care! It was nice talking to you."

We really hope that you guys loved our exclusive interview session with Jyoti Shamnani.

One common wish that each one of us has is to buy our own house. However, buying a home involves a lot of things such as house hunting, looking for a professional real estate agent, saving for down payment, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, checking out home buyer incentives and many more.

Savings are essential to pay for the monthly mortgage payment. It is more beneficial to buy a home rather than paying rent over the long term. It is cheaper to buy a house in Canada than it is to rent for a long period of time.
Every payment on the home brings buyers a little closer to owning it. Each payment builds up their equity in that property.

Few changes have been made in the mortgage rates. In order to buy a home in Canada, home buyers will now need to have a credit score of at least 680.

Bank of Canada has increased the prime rate to 1% which means that affordability for any homebuyer will now reduce by 10%.

From June 1, for all Uninsured mortgages (20% and above downpayment) & Insured mortgages (less than 20% down), the qualifying rate is 5.25% (previous qualifying rate was 4.79%). An increase in qualifying rate decreases homebuyers’ purchasing power and reduces the amount of mortgage a household can qualify for.

Riju: "Hi Josh, welcome to our Exclusive interview session for successful realtors? How are you?"

Riju: "How you differentiate yourself from others? What exceptional services do you provide to your clients?"

Josh: "My Mindset: I aspire to be my clients' real estate advisor for life. Here are some of the key Unique Value Propositions (UVP):

Customer Service: I am in the business of customer service with passion for real estate. Independent of the type of client, I give my 120% to ensure clients get what they are looking for while getting educated in the whole process.

One Stop Shop: We work as one stop shop for our clients including Mortgage, Buy/Sell, Invest, Renovate, Build, Inspection, and more.

Knowledge: From Buying/Selling to real estate advisory, achieving long term retirement/target utilizing real estate, build cost to zoning, current marketing prices to upcoming market conditions, rental potentials, I cover everything.

Honesty: I strongly believe that honesty is the key to real estate success. So, I ensure to keep transparency while dealing with my clients."

Give me a call to see for yourself!

Riju: "How someone can start working with you when someone is looking to buy their dream home?"

Josh: "Oh that's easy, just call me on my direct line at 4165652217.Our client journey typically starts by understanding their aspirations and what they are looking for. This is followed by understanding their current family dynamics and financial standing. We have them go through resident mortgage advisor to show their affordability index. Throughout the process, we educate and calibrate so while we advise, client can ultimately make a decision.When it comes to finding the ideal property, we start by casting a wide net. Based on client's liking, the focus is to ultimately get them the property they admire. Lastly and most importantly: Clients are biased on what they know, it's our job to ensure we remove the mental blocks."

Riju: "What is your day like?"

Josh: "Everyday, I aspire to give time to myself, my family and my work. I get up early, go to the gym (in my garage), meditate and get ready for the day. Then, I wake up my kids, have breakfast with them and usually drop them to school. The rest of the day is spent in doing work (business development, partnerships, showings, meeting new clients."

Riju: "Can you provide some useful tips for agents to be successful?"

Josh: "One should find their passion, and shouldn't work purely for the intention of earning money only. Focus on what you like doing and delegate the rest. Otherwise you will be all over the place. Work with clients who are on same wavelength as you, not everyone deserves your service. Focus on your health, and your family. Always remember that tomorrow is a brand new day, so go and conquer what you failed at today. Be humble."

Riju: "What's your selling point? Can you share a brief description of your services?"

Josh: "I cover the whole spectrum and don't stop till I'm satisfied. I always focus on that one extra thing that will give advantage to the buyers/sellers - whether that is showing future potential of the current challenging property, working with City/Conservation to get build potential related answers,  figuring out the best mortgage route for the clients or more. I go to places and get value to my clients."

Riju: "What has been your favourite selling experience?"

Josh: "I love tough deals, they make me realize my value. I had worked on a $1.7 million detached Oakville assignment for over 3 weeks while competing with 3 other bidders. It was unprecedented, big down payment and lots of emotions involved. The clients walked away 3 times and yet I was able to bring them back to the table because of my professionalism and going the extra mile. I used Gantt charts, hired two lawyers, worked with the builder, City of Oakville and finally closed the assignment. Results: Client made 500K+ in appreciation by the time the deal was closed. His only regret was losing additional 10K because of not listening to me for the first time and let his emotions take over."

Riju: "What are the challenges you face as a Realtor?"

Josh: "It's a process and we have to go through it. There will be good days and very bad days. The good thing is that tomorrow is a new day to conquer!"

Riju: "What is your current take on the Real Estate Market?"

Josh: "The market is shifting from seller to buyer side, this opens a new array of investment possibilities. At macro level, there are 850K applications for Permanent Residency, 450K/year people immigrating every year out of which 50% settle in Ontario. Canada is one of the best places to live in the world considering its multi-culture, family safety-net, world class healthcare & education system. So, stop trying to time the market and keep a long term perspective."

Riju: "Any knowledgeable words for fellow realtors and upcoming salespeople?"

Josh: "In addition to the tips I've mentioned before, focus should be on getting more clarity on what you want to do and what's your passion. Avoid the unnecessary distraction around you that prevents you from achieving your dreams."

Riju: "That's really phenomenal Josh! We really appreciate you for sharing your valuable experience for us to educate our readers about the current real estate market and its trends. Take care! It was nice talking to you."

We really hope that you guys loved our exclusive interview session with Josh Cheema.
