It's time for our July monthly roundtable — once again, Urmi talks to Steve in Vancouver and John in Toronto!

This month, the weather is hot, but the market is cooling and the first uptick in listings is finally showing up in the data - is this the start of the great listings surge that’s been long anticipated as high interest rates continue to hit market? Also, the federal government welcomes in newcomers at a record pace, resulting in a new population high - even though all levels of government struggle to magic up more housing supply. Plus, why aren’t the majority of Canadians more worried about our housing crisis? and more.
