Canada’s 2025 Housing Market: Tariffs, Rates, Reality – Buy, Sell, or Wait?
In this episode of Smart Moves: Your Real Estate and Mortgage Podcast, we break down the recently released TD Economics’ report “Addressing Issues Impacting the Economic and Financial Outlook” and what it means for buyers, sellers, and homeowners navigating their mortgage options.

We explore global economic uncertainties, including trade wars and their potential impact on Canada’s economy, interest rates, and mortgage costs. Could the Bank of Canada cut rates in the near future? If so, how will that affect the housing market and the Canadian dollar?
Our discussion balances positive trends like pent-up demand and population growth with challenges such as affordability concerns and possible tariff effects. Plus, we analyze regional differences – which Canadian markets are set to thrive, and where could affordability remain a challenge?
With so many moving parts, staying informed is key! Tune in to gain expert insights from our Edmonton, Alberta team to make smart, strategic decisions for the year ahead.
