Episode 103 - Toronto Under Construction with Cara Hirsch of Hirsch + Associates, Elliott Taube of Pivot Real Estate Group, and Sean Zahedi of SCOP Inc.
Ben discusses the current state of the housing market with industry experts, focusing on various market dynamics and shifts.
In Episode 103, Ben sits down with Cara Hirsch of Hirsch + Associates, Elliott Taube of Pivot Real Estate Group, and Sean Zahedi of SCOP Inc. for a roundtable discussion on the state of the new housing market from the people actively selling it. The conversation spans the immediate reaction to the proposed HST changes, the disconnect between condo pricing and fundamentals during the pandemic run-up, investor retrenchment, closing risk heading into 2026, and the growing shift from condo to rental as a default development model. From low-rise pricing resets to high-rise inventory pressure, the discussion reflects a market recalibrating around value, absorption and execution rather than momentum. *Sponsored by: BCGi Baron Consulting Group Executive Search*
