Event Description:
Mortgage Financing in Canada has entered uncharted and stormy waters. Long term interest rates have increased dramatically in 2022. How will this impact cap rates and investment? Hard Costs are spiraling upwards with supply chain delays and material cost price increases. Prime rate is rising and when will it crest? Can residential buyers absorb these increases? What options are there to fix rate early? CMHC's new MLI Select program is driving new apartment construction across the country - how are rates impacting this segment of the market?
The UDI has assembled four seasoned sailors who will help navigate and discuss the current conditions, and, discuss the outlook of the financing market which impacts every sector of the real estate market.
