If you’re interested in real estate investing in Canada, there’s one podcast I highly recommend checking out: The Canadian Real Estate Investor, hosted by Brandon and Simon.

These two bring a fresh, insightful, and often entertaining perspective to the world of Canadian real estate. Whether you’re new to investing or have years of experience, their episodes cover a wide range of topics that are practical, timely, and genuinely useful. From market trends and economic shifts to case studies, financing strategies, and interviews with industry experts, Brandon and Simon break it all down in a way that’s both easy to understand and deeply informative.

What sets them apart is their clear passion for helping listeners grow their knowledge—and their investments—while staying grounded in the realities of the Canadian market. They don’t just share theory; they dive into real deals, numbers, and lessons learned.

You can listen to the podcast on all major streaming platforms or head directly to their site: The Canadian Real Estate Investor Podcast.

If you’re serious about real estate or just curious to learn more, give it a listen.

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has revised its 2025 housing market forecast, citing slower-than-expected activity. Home sales in March dropped 9.3% year-over-year and 4.8% month-over-month, as potential buyers held back due to economic uncertainty and tariff concerns.

CREA now predicts 482,673 homes will sell in 2025—essentially flat from 2024 and a sharp downgrade from the 8.6% increase projected in January. The national average home price is also expected to dip slightly by 0.3% to $687,898, about $30,000 less than previous estimates.

CREA’s senior economist Shaun Cathcart described the market shift bluntly: “We’ve gone from a slam dunk rebound year to treading water at best.”

In March, the average national sale price stood at $678,331—down 3.7% from the same time last year.
