Are housing prices going to drop over the next while with an incoming recession…?

I think first it’s best to take a step back and look at the context. Some house prices are going to drop – mainly those that are in overpriced bubble markets – If I had a $2m condo in Toronto with a 4% net yield, then I’d be selling that – it’s overpriced froth in a speculative market. Fortunately, what we’re buying couldn’t be more different. Lets...

Market Update

Hi All – Now things are slightly less busy due to plague and government shutdowns, this seems as good a time as any to share my thoughts on the market.

What will happen to the US Market in 2019?

So, I know what you are all thinking. Probably the same as me – Ok its January 2019 now, the US and my real estate portfolio had a decent year, especially in the capital growth department. But what next? Is it still good value? Is it overpriced? How does it compare with Europe in terms of the prospects? Do I buy a few more now or do I wait in case there’s a correction? I find it’s always good...

How will Trump’s Presidency Affect the Real Estate Market?

It’s the question everyone has been asking me this week, so I decided to take a stab at an answer. Trump (and Clinton’s) campaign were both characterized by rubbishing the others reputation and determinedly avoiding any kind of policy detail. So we now have a President of the most powerful nation on earth, who actually doesn’t have any set in stone ideas, policy, or overarching philosophy. Donald...
