Editor's Edition: What the Liberal-NDP deal means for real estate

The Liberal and NDP have struck a deal to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority governments in power until 2025.

House prices have doubled in the last six years under Trudeau, as first-time buyers struggle to afford real estate in many parts of the country.

We’ve been getting monthly updates from the ground floor from Realosophy Realty’s John Pasalis and Oakwyn Realty’s Steve Saretsky, who help make sense of it all, with advice for anyone buying or selling a home.
