Politicians keep touting housing supply numbers as progress, but if you're hoping to ever own rather than rent you should be very nervous about our so-called success—fully half of Vancouver's new "supply" is purpose-built rentals, not homes you can buy. Mortgage expert and author Dustan Woodhouse sits down with Adam & Matt to expose how this unreported shift fundamentally changed the market while everyone's been looking the other way. From the shocking reality that only 20% of mortgage applicants would qualify today versus 57% a decade ago, to why developers get 50-year amortizations while first-time buyers are locked out, this conversation reveals what's really happening beyond the misleading headlines. What happens when an entire generation becomes lifetime renters? Could a 50-year amortization actually solve the housing crisis? And with the Bank of Canada using "uncertainty" 79 times in their latest report, what should buyers and sellers do right now? Don't miss this reality check on Vancouver's housing future.
