It’s Toronto-Vancouver real estate roundtable time with Urmi, Steve and John!

After the egg hunts, we’re left in that weird grey area, both weather-wise and in our real estate markets - John and Steve take us through the latest stats and on the ground realities. Also: when will interest rates start to fall and how will this impact the market and investors? Plus, the Liberal federal government, in full election mode, are now throwing around out policy announcements every day - which ones, from reductions in non-permanent resident numbers to a new renter bill of rights will actually make a difference?
