In this Small Biz Podcast episode, realtor Ian Inglis joins Linda Ockwell-Jenner to provide an update on the Canadian housing market as of January 2026. He notes a 6% price decline in 2025, driven by increased inventory and explains that condo prices saw a sharper drop. Ian forecasts a relatively stable market in 2026 with potential price increases in the second half of the year, influenced by anticipated interest rate reductions. He advises prospective homebuyers, particularly first-timers, to contact a realtor early, emphasizing the importance of valuation, staging, and considering factors like roof condition and electrical systems to make informed decisions about purchasing or selling a home.
