In this episode, Adrian and Ariel dive into a hot topic: should sellers delay listing their homes as buyer behaviour shifts? Inspired by a recent Globe and Mail article, they unpack whether today's market favours sellers or buyers, the emotional vs logical sides of buying and selling, and the impact of interest rates, appraisals, and lending changes. If you’re considering listing your property or buying a new one, this episode offers a grounded, honest discussion to help guide your decision.
This is not financial advice—just real talk, based on real experience.
