Danielle Chiasson

Meet  Daniel Foch, a real estate broker with over 15 years of experience, hosts The Canadian Real Estate Investor Podcast and has worked with notable organizations like Interrent REIT, CBRE, and Hydro One. 

In this episode, Daniel discusses about:

  • Market Timing and Recovery Indicators: Daniel discusses that market despair, where there are no buyers due to recent negative experiences, signals the bottom of the market. 
  • Current Economic Pain and Future Despair: While there's significant pain in the market currently, true despair has not yet been reached.
  • Unemployment Trends: Unemployment rates are currently stable but could rise significantly, potentially reaching 6.5% or higher, indicating a recession.
  • Impact of High Interest Rates: The high interest rates impact not only real estate but also the broader economy.
  • Credit Cycle and Economic Recovery: The acronym HOPE (Housing, Orders, Profits, Employment) explains the sequence of economic recovery.
  • Key Economic Indicators: Daniel emphasizes that monitoring the Canadian household debt to disposable income ratio is crucial.
  • Consumer Sentiment and Market Perception: Observing consumer sentiment and market behavior is essential.
