It’s always a pleasure to meet and have dinner with one of the hardest-working members of

the Canadian Parliament,
Francesco Sorbara!


🥳🍽️ This time, our gathering was made even more special at Efendi Turkish Cuisine, under the exceptional leadership of Chef Zeki.



👨‍🍳🇹🇷 The ambiance, coupled with the incredible flavors, made for an unforgettable evening. 🌟✨

Joining us for this delightful dinner were my wife, Menis, Menekse Tomar
and our esteemed guest, Laila Zahiri.

👩‍❤️‍👨👩‍💼 Their presence added an extra layer of warmth and joy to the occasion. 🥂💫

I’m looking forward to
more engaging visits to
small businesses with
MP Sorbara in August 2024,

just before the anticipated Bank of Canada interest rate cut on September 4, 2024.

📅🏛️ These visits are a fantastic opportunity to support and connect with local entrepreneurs and innovators. 🚀🤝

The Bank of Canada reduced interest rates by 0.25%.

Everyone expected this.
Someone like me was expecting .50%!

What happens next?
Experts says, More rate cuts are likely.

Tiff Macklem, the Bank of Canada governor, might skip a rate cut in September, but two more cuts are expected this year.

By the end of 2024, the Bank of Canada rate will likely be 4%.

In 2025, more rate cuts are expected.

By summer or fall, the Bank of Canada rate could be 2.75% or 3.00%.

UNCERTAINITY AND THE FUTURE of GTA Real Estate!
STRESS TEST
RENTAL HOUSING
SPRING 2025 MARKET

Over the past 10 years, the real estate industry in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has experienced significant growth and transformation, characterized by several key trends and developments:

1. 2010s Surge: The early 2010s witnessed substantial price increases, driven by population growth, immigration, and low mortgage rates. The demand for housing outpaced supply, leading to bidding wars and significant price appreciation.

2. Government Interventions: In response to affordability concerns, the government introduced measures such as the foreign buyers tax and tighter mortgage regulations, which temporarily cooled the market in the mid-2010s.
And introduced stress test which it should be removed ASAP!

3. Condo Market Growth: The condo market expanded rapidly, particularly in downtown Toronto, as developers responded to the demand for more affordable housing options.

5. Recent Trends: In the early 2020s, the market saw unprecedented price growth, driven by historically low interest rates, limited inventory, and high demand. However, rising interest rates and affordability concerns have started to cool the market.

Good Aspects of the GTA Real Estate Market

- Strong Economic Fundamentals: The GTA remains an economic powerhouse with diverse industries, contributing to a resilient real estate market.
- Population Growth: Continuous population growth driven by immigration and international students fuels demand for housing.
- Urban Development : Significant investments in infrastructure and urban development enhance the attractiveness of the GTA for residents and investors alike.

Uncertainty in the Market

- Government Policies: Recent government measures, including a sharp break on newcomers, new visas, and cuts to international students, introduce uncertainty. While these are temporary solutions, they impact short-term demand.
- Interest Rates: Rising interest rates affect affordability, making it tougher for buyers to enter the market and for investors to finance properties.
- Affordability Crisis: Ongoing concerns about affordability and housing supply continue to challenge the market dynamics.

Future Outlook for the GTA Real Estate Industry

Canada faces the ambitious task of building 5 million houses by 2030, with only six years remaining to meet this goal. The commitment to welcoming 500,000 newcomers annually, coupled with over 1 million international students, is expected to drive a population growth rate of about 5.5%, higher than any G7 country. Although recent government measures have temporarily slowed the influx of newcomers and international students, these are only short-term solutions.

Just like laneway houses did not contrubute much to housing supply, $2B worth (money grap from Federal) of re-zoning of seingle residential to multiplexes will not do much unless municipalities make approval, expensive change requirements modified.
We expect more rental, social, non market housing in next few years due to incentives of tax waiving, levies and develeopment charge waivers atc...

Eventually, these individuals will add to the housing demand, intensifying the need for new housing.

The next six months are anticipated to be challenging for investors and homebuyers due to these uncertainties and slow reduction interest rates.

However, specialists believe that by the spring market of 2025, the market will heat up again. The expected population growth and ongoing demand for housing suggest a robust future for the GTA real estate market, despite the current headwinds.

While the GTA real estate market faces short-term uncertainties and challenges, the long-term outlook remains positive due to strong economic fundamentals, continued population growth, and the ongoing need for housing development. The market is expected to rebound strongly by 2025, making it an attractive prospect for investors and homebuyers alike.

As widely anticipated,
the Bank of Canada is expected to cut rates on July 24, 2024. 🏦

This move could shift perceptions and prompt buyers to stop waiting for ultra-low rates to return. 📉

While some buyers might hold out for rates around 3%,
economists caution that such low rates are unlikely to come back anytime soon.

Experts stated last week that interest rates will remain high until inflation returns to 2%, a level seen as crucial for broader economic recovery (currently at 2.7% based on this week's consumer price index). 📈

Simultaneously,
the ongoing closure of pre-construction sales offices poses significant financial challenges. 🚧

Reducing international student numbers by 35% and halting new visa issuances at Canadian consulates globally are seen as unsustainable short-term measures. 🌍

Canadian Municipalities have received over $2 billion to expedite density and permit approvals.

While they have updated zoning regulations from single residential to allow for triplexes and fourplexes, the approval process remains cumbersome, making it harder than ever to get projects greenlit. 🏙️

New zonings are not practical 😑

Canada will eventually lift all temporary barriers against refugees, immigrants, and international students.

The question remains:
are we prepared for the influx of new residents? 🌱
1.3M new population annually!

🏠 Last month, housing starts dropped across the country.

Ontario, especially, is struggling as builders have stopped new projects.

There are few new homes being built, except for some subsidized projects in Ottawa. In Southern Ontario, new housing construction has nearly stopped.

🏘️ The federal government started the Housing Accelerator Fund to help.

But it focuses mainly on social housing, not homes for sale. Cities and towns must agree to denser zoning—like turning single-family lots into zones for six units—to get this money. Social housing is important, and denser cities make sense.

But is this new density actually increasing homes for sale? It doesn't seem to be helping young Canadians buy their first homes.

I just went through few City of Toronto fourplex zoning application, amount red tape , fees, headache "No one will go through that permitting process "

Impossible!

So the city took Federal money, pass rezonig but will make Impossible for home owner to modify!

It is a money grap for municipalities from federal budget!

🌆 Overall, the government spends a lot on housing initiatives like the Housing Accelerator Fund, First Home Savings Account, and infrastructure funding.

But fewer homes are being built than are needed. People have been waiting for nine years for the promised 3.5 million new homes. The government says to wait longer, but there aren't many results yet.

🏢 Some say the government is good at spending money,

but not at getting results.

Programs like the Housing Accelerator Fund and First Home Savings Account sound good, but they aren't solving the housing problem.

New homes aren't being built fast enough for people who want to buy them.

🛠️ Builders in Ontario are struggling to start new projects.

They have stopped building homes, except for a few projects in Ottawa and other regions.

In Southern Ontario, there are no new homes being built.

💸 This makes other builders worried about starting new projects.

Addressing the Housing Crisis in the Greater Toronto Area:
A Practical Approach 🏠🇨🇦

While long-term solutions such as addressing the cost of land, levies, and development charges are critical, they require time and political will to implement.

Even if politicians across all three levels of government decided tomorrow to remove levies and development charges and make land freely available, the impact would be far-reaching and complex.

For instance, a semi-detached home in Toronto, currently valued at $1.3 million, could drop to $600,000, comparable to prices in many parts of the USA.

This drastic change could destabilize the housing market, affecting bank financing for existing homes and creating additional challenges.

Achieving consensus among Canadian politicians to implement such sweeping changes is unlikely.

Therefore, we need to focus on practical, immediate actions that can be taken within a five-year plan to alleviate the housing crisis.

Five-Year Plan: Practical Solutions for Immediate Relief 🛠️📅

Utilize Public Lands for Rental Housing 🏢
One effective strategy is to make public lands available to builders for constructing rental housing. By providing land specifically for rental developments, we can increase the supply of affordable rental units and alleviate some pressure on the housing market.

Remove Levies and Development Charges 🏗️
Another critical step is to remove levies and development charges for new construction projects. These costs significantly contribute to the overall price of housing. Eliminating them would lower the cost of new homes, making housing more affordable for many Canadians.
_____________________________________________________________________
Urgent Immediate Action: First-Time Home Buyers Program 🚀🏡

While long-term measures are essential, there is an urgent need for immediate action. The federal government must introduce a comprehensive first-time home buyers program, similar to those in the USA, UK, and other countries. This program should allow individuals to purchase homes with low down payments of 3% to 5% and offer 25- or 30-year fixed mortgages.

Benefits of the First-Time Home Buyers Program 🌟
- Increased Home Ownership: A robust first-time home buyers program would enable more people, including essential workers like police officers, nurses, and teachers, to become homeowners.
- Economic Stability: By making homeownership more accessible, we can stabilize the housing market and ensure that essential workers can live in the communities they serve.
- Social Benefits: Homeownership fosters community stability, encourages civic participation, and contributes to overall social well-being.

A Balanced Approach ⚖️

Addressing the housing crisis in the GTA requires a balanced approach that combines long-term solutions with immediate actions.

By focusing on utilizing public lands for rental housing, removing levies and development charges, and introducing a comprehensive first-time home buyers program, we can make significant strides toward alleviating the housing crisis.

These measures will help ensure that all Canadians, including essential workers, have access to affordable housing.

That's why we were never afraid.

Our hope is always in God.

We told the oppressors to be strong, be as strong as you wish!

Ensuring Safe Learning and Working Environments:
A Call for Temperature Regulations in Ontario

By Seyfi Tomar

Implementing regulations to ensure safe indoor temperatures in schools and construction sites is crucial for the well-being of students and workers in Ontario.

Let's prioritize health and safety as we approach collective agreement negotiations in early 2025.

The issue of indoor temperatures and construction environment during extreme heat waves remains a critical concern.

If indoor temperatures in classrooms reach 28 degrees Celsius, schools should take action to mitigate heat levels by utilizing fans or adjusting blinds.

Furthermore, if temperatures rise to 31 degrees Celsius, it would be mandatory to cancel classes to protect the well-being of students and staff.

In Ontario, where summers can bring intense heat, it's essential to prioritize the health and safety of those working and learning indoors. This is particularly pertinent as we approach collective agreement negotiations in early 2025 for both construction sites and teachers' unions.

Implementing specific temperature regulations within these agreements would ensure that our schools and workplaces are equipped to handle extreme heat events effectively.

For construction sites,
where workers are often exposed to outdoor elements and indoor conditions can vary widely, setting a standard that prohibits occupancy when temperatures indoors exceed 31 degrees Celsius would safeguard workers' health.

It would also encourage the adoption of measures to cool down workspaces effectively, such as providing shaded areas, hydration stations, cooling rooms and breaks during peak heat hours.

As a leader in the real estate and construction sectors, and with a strong commitment to enhancing community well-being,
I believe it is time for Ontario to adopt similar temperature regulations.

By integrating these standards into collective agreements, we can ensure that our workplaces and schools are prepared to face the challenges posed by climate change while fostering safe and supportive environments for all.

Let us seize this opportunity to
prioritize safety,
productivity, and
well-being acro
