  • 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.
