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.

Welcome to Revealing Real Estate with Nick Oppedisano and Andrew Morrissey (Part 2)!
In this powerful follow-up episode, Nick and Andrew dive deep into the shifting tides of both the GTA and Florida real estate markets. With over 30,000 active listings and investor sentiment rapidly deteriorating, the GTA is now firmly entrenched in a buyer’s market. Condo prices have plummeted, developers are halting projects, and growing unemployment is putting further strain on homeowners.

Andrew shares firsthand insight into the dramatic post-election fallout, including the wealth migration now heading south to Florida and the Carolinas. They explore how policy stagnation in Canada—paired with ongoing red tape and rising taxes—is pushing even multi-million dollar builders to relocate their portfolios to the U.S.

From financing options and the capital gains deferral debate to 1031 exchanges and the booming potential of short-term rentals, this episode is a must-listen for investors and realtors looking to pivot their strategies. Nick and Andrew also break down why Florida’s fundamentals remain strong, what Canadians need to know about buying across the border, and how to make the leap legally and profitably.

If you're frustrated with the status quo and considering your next move—this episode could be the wake-up call you need.
