Three Realtors with over 100 years of combined experience break down a Stats Canada stat that should stop any fence-sitter mid-scroll: homeowners under 35 have nearly ten times the net worth of renters the same age. Evelyn Lopes, Ruth Ballantyne, and Sandy Casella get honest about why forced savings beats market timing, and why your first home doesn't have to be your forever home.
Is real estate still one of the smartest ways to build wealth in Canada? Evelyn Lopes sits down with fellow Realtors Ruth Ballantyne and Sandy Casella, three women with over 100 years of combined experience, to cut through the noise around buying in today's market.
They unpack a Stats Canada number that stops most people in their tracks: homeowners under 35 have a median net worth close to ten times higher than renters the same age. The conversation gets into why forced savings matters more than timing the market, why a condo can be the smartest first move rather than a consolation prize, and why so many buyers are still stuck on the fence.
A grounded, honest conversation for anyone weighing whether to buy or keep waiting.
