Podcast 100: Why 1 in 3 Renters Say They'll Never Own a Home in Canada
A new national survey from Royal LePage shows that 31% of Canadian renters have no plans to ever buy a home—a statistic that challenges long-held assumptions about homeownership in this country.
We’ll look at what’s driving this shift: affordability barriers, changing lifestyles, and why many renters feel completely priced out. More importantly, we’ll explore what this means for Toronto’s housing market — from long-term rental demand to how investors and first-time buyers should be thinking about the next cycle.
If you’re navigating affordability challenges or trying to understand where demand is headed, this one’s worth watching.
