The conversation cuts deep into the psychology behind "performative real estate" content and how perma-bears profit from keeping Canadians angry and afraid. What makes "performative real estate" content so addictive to stressed Canadians? Why has being a real estate "doomer" become more popular than being accurate? And in a world where being negative sounds more honest than being balanced, how can buyers cut through the noise to make smart decisions?
