In this episode of the 'Keeping it Real' podcast, Jacquie McCarnan delves into the recent extension of the Foreign Buyers ban in Canada and its perceived impact on housing affordability. Despite the ban's intention to make properties more accessible for Canadians, Jacquie highlights the surprising statistic that only about 7% of BC homes are owned by non-resident investors.
Jacquie emphasizes the need for public input to identify viable solutions, questioning the potential unintended consequences, such as higher interest rates affecting lower-end market affordability. She also explores various government measures, including taxes and incentives for rental buildings, expressing concerns about their effectiveness in addressing affordability.
Alongside her expert analysis, Jacquie offers a local business recommendation and shares a book tip, "Hello Beautiful" by Anne Napolitano.
