Jobs Report Doubts, Bond Yields and Canada's Coming Housing Squeeze - S6E17
Ontario's unemployment rate dropped to a two-year low — and Stephen Green isn't convinced. In this episode of The Green Effect Podcast, Stephen walks through the four forces moving the Canadian mortgage and housing market right now, and what each one means for you if you're buying, renewing, or waiting. In this episode: • Ontario added 52,000 jobs, Canada added 75,100, and unemployment fell to roughly 6.4% — Stephen explains why a workforce survey may not match what's happening on the ground • Why unemployment is the key number that drives spending, hiring and the entire economic cycle • The 5-year Government of Canada bond yield jumped, pushing fixed rates slightly higher — and how a broker rate hold protects you in both directions • A new US tariff dated August 19, weak US GDP, and why tariffs on Canadian goods hit American consumers first • A TRREB survey naming tariffs the number one reason buyers are sitting out • Single-family building permits near zero and the supply squeeze that's building — while condos stay oversupplied for four to five more years • Which Ontario markets Stephen sees real opportunity in right now • Two practical reminders: get your documents organized, and never auto-sign a bank renewal letter Key takeaway: The headline numbers and the ground-level reality aren't lining up right now. Understanding the gap — and knowing where supply is actually tightening — is what separates a good decision from a rushed one. If this episode helped, subscribe and leave a five-star review — it genuinely helps other Canadian homeowners find the show.
