In this week’s episode, we discuss how federal public service job cuts could influence Ottawa’s housing market and local economy. We talk about the recent rise in mortgage arrears across Canada and what it reveals about financial stress among homeowners. We also explore slower than expected GDP growth and how these economic signals are shaping real estate activity across Ottawa and the broader Canadian market.

We share our thoughts on how job reductions could affect housing demand, local businesses, and financial confidence in the region. We also talk about how homeowners are navigating higher payments, the mortgage options available during financial pressure, and why proactive financial planning is becoming more important across Canada.
