Welcome to Revealing Real Estate with Nick Oppedisano and Tom Villano!

In this eye-opening episode, Nick and seasoned mortgage expert Tom Villano break down the reality behind today’s housing market—and it’s not pretty. With inventory in the GTA skyrocketing past 30,000 listings and absorption rates plunging to just 13%, the numbers signal what many feared: we’re deep in a buyer’s market and teetering on the edge of a recession.

Tom brings his two decades of lending experience to unpack the brutal truth about rising unemployment, negative cash flow properties, and why mortgage renewals are becoming financial nightmares. The two dive into the ripple effect of stalled developments, job losses in construction and manufacturing, and why even developers are pressing pause until policies improve.

They also tackle the challenges facing today’s landlords—from LTB delays to tenant protections—and why many investors are either cashing out or moving capital out of Canada altogether. From potential policy solutions like HST rebates and stress test reform to CMHC-backed 30-year amortizations, Nick and Tom don’t hold back on what needs to change fast.

If you're a buyer looking for opportunity, a seller clinging to 2023 pricing, or an investor trying to time the bottom—this episode is essential listening. The real estate market is shifting fast. Knowledge isn’t just power—it’s protection.
