Is Canadian real estate resetting, or is this just another pause before the next climb?

In this episode, John Soutsos and Mark Morris discuss the current state of Canadian real estate, how we arrived here, and what today’s market signals may mean for investors, homeowners, and medical professionals building long-term wealth.

John is joined by real estate lawyer and broker Mark Morris for a wide-ranging conversation about market cycles, leverage, liquidity, and why many Canadians have never experienced a true real estate downturn. Drawing comparisons to the early 1990s correction, they explore what feels different this time, including structural economic shifts, government policy, and the role of credit in shaping demand.

 

John and Mark discuss:

  • Why real estate is cyclical, even when people forget that it is
  • The difference between owning a home and treating property as an investment
  • How leverage and liquidity can amplify risk in a downturn
  • Where we may be in the current real estate cycle and what recovery could look like
  • And more!

Many investors are trying to make sense of AI valuations, rapid market reactions, and the headlines that shape short-term narratives. 

In this conversation, Alex and John Soutsos look at how sector trends, company fundamentals, and broader market data can help put these discussions in context.

They review how investors often respond to media commentary, where valuation measures can be useful, and how companies in fast-growing industries manage capital, reinvestment, and long-term planning. They also outline how portfolio managers adjust to changing conditions over time.

What to expect in this episode:

  • How investors interpret AI headlines and what often drives short-term reactions
  • Where valuation tools, including PEG ratios, fit into long-term analysis
  • How large companies in fast-growing areas allocate capital and manage continued expansion
  • How portfolio managers use data rather than themes when building or adjusting positions
  • And more!
