Episode #163 | Is Toronto Really Heading For A Housing Shortage By 2030 🤷‍♀️? | Toronto Real Estate

Does the Toronto real estate market feel broken? In this episode, Ralph Fox and Kori Marin take a clear-eyed look at what is really happening across the GTA housing market, from unsold condo inventory and stalled pre-construction sales to buyer hesitation, affordability pressure, immigration shifts, development charges, and the growing disconnect between supply, demand, and confidence.This conversation goes beyond the headlines. While many assume Toronto has too much housing, the deeper issue is more complicated: the inventory available today is not always the inventory buyers want, can afford, or feel confident purchasing. At the same time, condo starts are falling, projects are being cancelled, investors have stepped away from pre-construction, and future housing supply could become a much larger problem by the 2030s. ____________________________________________________ Speakers: Ralph Fox (Co-Founder and Broker of Record at Fox Marin) Kori Marin (Co-Founder and Broker at Fox Marin)
