Warning 9.1 Months Supply of Homes!!!

Author: Michael Zuber July 16, 2024 Duration: 18:56

In this episode, we debunk the myths surrounding the alarming statistic of a 9.1 months supply of new homes. I break down the data to reveal that this figure includes homes that are under construction and even those that haven't been started yet. In reality, there are only 1.9 months of supply of completed homes. We also discuss the recent trends in the housing market, the surprising percentage of new homes bought with cash, and the impact of falling lumber prices on the construction industry. Additionally, we touch on the latest mortgage demand data and the challenges in the rental market in Canada.
