Why the Market Is Frozen: Sellers Resist Cuts

Mentor Sessions Ep. 042: Canada's Real Estate Horror Exposed: Unceded Land Claims Spark Massive Housing Crash – Why Top Expert Stacks Bitcoin | Steve Saretsky (Loonie Hour)

Canada's real estate empire is crumbling. In this explosive interview, top Vancouver realtor and Loonie Hour co-host Steve Saretsky reveals how a single BC Supreme Court ruling on unceded territory has made 150+ homes unfinanceable overnight, sparking a wave of aboriginal land claims that could engulf entire cities like Kamloops and even Parliament Hill. With 90% of British Columbia on unceded land, property rights are under siege—lenders are bailing, sales are tanking, and national house prices have plunged 18%, the sharpest correction in 30 years. Steve breaks down why this housing crash is bigger than 2008, with Toronto condo sales hitting record lows and Vancouver homes now costing just 8 Bitcoin (down from 2,350 in 2015). As investors flee cashflow-negative rentals amid strict tenancy laws and soaring rates, Steve explains his Bitcoin bull stance: it's the ultimate hedge against fiat debasement and property chaos. Don't miss this wake-up call on why Bitcoin trumps bricks in a broken system.
