Paliwal, director and head of research at InvestorKit, following
the firm’s win in the category of Buyer’s Agent of the Year at the
2023 REB Awards.
The duo discuss the myopia of current conversations
around house prices and why the recovery of the market rests less
on interest rates than you might think.
Arjun explains why you can already see a national turnaround from
the downward trajectory of mid-2022. He credits the complex
combination of a number of factors for kicking off a return of
buyers, including: undersupply in properties for rent, rate rises
mostly in the rear view, policy changes, population uptick and the
perception of prices still being depressed.
Of course, the pair discuss why it’s also imperative to look at the
micro-trends in any market you’re investing in and why for better
or worse, the national trajectory may have little impact in your
corner of the country.
