The government just did it again! More housing policies have been introduced, but are they really helping first-time homebuyers, or is it just another political sound bite? In this video, I break down why these changes, like increasing the insured mortgage limit and reintroducing 30-year amortizations, could backfire and push housing prices even higher.
As a younger Canadian and a real estate investor, I’ll share my unique insights into how these policies benefit people like me more than those they claim to help. If you’re a first-time buyer or concerned about the housing market, this video is for you.
Make sure to watch until the end for my full breakdown, and don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments! 👍
