Ep. 59 - Why Haven’t Bank of Canada Interest Rate Cuts Motivated Toronto Buyers?

mardi 18 novembre 2025 • Durée 36:45

Send us Fan Mail

The Bank of Canada has cut rates again and again, yet sales are sitting at historic lows. Why aren’t buyers taking advantage?

In this episode, David explores the psychology behind today’s frozen market: fear, timing, greed, and the human tendency to wait for the “perfect” time. With illustrations about picking coins off the ground to lessons learned at the blackjack table, this episode digs into why people avoid buying on the way down, but jump in on the way back up, even when it costs them.

In This Episode:

00:00 — Why are lower rates not motivating buyers?
02:12 — Record listings and stalled sales across 2024-2025
06:11 — The “coin on the ground” metaphor and buyer psychology
11:53 — How ultra-low pandemic rates reshaped the market
24:37 — Fear, greed, and why buyers only jump in on the way up
33:37 — Who is buying right now and when the market likely turns

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to buy, this episode will challenge the way you think about the market.

00:00 – Why nothing is selling in Toronto this fall
02:39 – Real client email: sellers confused by a “slow market”

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, David Fleming breaks down the listing tactics that are actively working against sellers in today’s Toronto real estate market. From irrational pricing to failed offer strategies and zero backup planning, agents and homeowners are making the same costly mistakes - over and over.

This is a slow bleed, made worse by sellers refusing to adapt and agents too afraid to push back. With inventory at a record high and sales at historic lows, this episode cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what’s really going wrong.

In This Episode:

How one seller walked away from a $1.095M offer—for $5,000
Why overpricing is the first and most fatal mistake sellers make
How outdated offer-date strategies are failing in 90% of cases
Why most agents are complicit—or completely out of their depth
The real absorption rate collapse behind Toronto’s stalled market
What listing agents must start doing differently (or risk irrelevance)
Why cooperating agents aren’t adversaries—and how ignoring them kills deals

Timestamps:
00:00 – Intro: Sellers cutting off their nose to spite their face
01:50 – A live case: losing a deal over $5K
05:15 – TRREB stats: lowest May sales since 2020, record inventory
08:40 – The overpricing problem
11:55 – When agents say yes to prices that make no sense
15:10 – Offer dates are dead—here’s why
18:35 – What a real plan A/B/C should look like
21:30 – How not working with offers kills momentum
24:00 – Feigned leverage and adversarial agents
26:30 – The cost of ignoring market data and good advice

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, David Fleming sits down with special guest Ben Rabidoux—economist, housing analyst, and founder of Edge Realty Analytics—to expose the harsh truths behind Toronto’s condo market and the broader economic forces reshaping Canadian real estate.

This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s a data-backed dissection of a market facing systemic risk. From blanket appraisals and stalled closings to investor denial and government intervention, this is Canada’s “Big Short” moment—happening in real time.

If you’re a buyer, seller, developer, or policymaker: this is essential viewing.

In This Episode:

Why Toronto’s pre-construction condo model was always destined to fail
How banks are quietly pushing risky lending practices through blanket appraisals
What the BoC, Carney, and tariff politics really mean for housing policy
Why resale data hides the true structural issues in housing supply
How investor pullback and stalled development set the stage for a crunch in 2028
What policymakers can’t (or won’t) fix—and what that means for future buyers
Why no one wants to admit that sentiment—not just interest rates—is the real problem

Timestamps:
00:00 – Why Ben Rabidoux is this show’s version of a celebrity
03:00 – How tariffs and political games are shaping the macroeconomic outlook
10:00 – The coming housing crunch: not “if,” but “when”
18:00 – The condo crisis and Canada’s very own Big Short
26:00 – RBC’s blanket appraisals and the risk to the banking system
34:00 – Government bailouts, false optimism, and systemic denial
44:00 – What happens when 76% of buyers can’t close?
50:00 – Predictions for 2025 and beyond

If you’ve been waiting for someone to explain what’s actually going on—without spin, slogans, or sales tactics—this is the conversation you’ve been looking for.

In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, host David Fleming unpacks the April 2025 TRREB data and asks the question that’s on every seller’s mind: Why hasn’t spring sprung?

In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, host David Fleming tackles the aftermath of Canada’s 2025 federal election—and why, despite all the promises, Toronto’s housing market remains stuck in the same cycle of gridlock, speculation, and political soundbites.

What begins with a sharp story about development roadblocks turns into a no-holds-barred analysis of the post-election housing landscape.

mardi 29 avril 2025 • Durée 38:41

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, host David Fleming confronts a reality nobody wants to admit: Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok—they’re all lying to you about real estate. And it is reshaping what buyers and sellers expect in ways that no one is prepared for.

What starts with a rant about food photos on Instagram turns into a sharp, critical look at how social media has distorted the housing market.
