Kyle Green, founder of Green Mortgage Team and one of Canada&#39;s top brokers, sits down with Adam &amp; Matt to break down what rising rates and a weakening Canadian job market mean for borrowers, why some homeowners should consider breaking their mortgage early before rates climb further, and whether Vancouver real estate can weather the storm.

VREP #509 | How a War in Iran Could Reshape Vancouver Real Estate with Kyle Green

For three decades, Frances Bula covered every housing crisis, every broken promise, and every Vancouver council that overpromised and underdelivered. Now she&#39;s done watching. The veteran Globe and Mail journalist sits down with Adam &amp; Matt this week to talk about her decision to run for City Council with OneCity Vancouver in the fall civic election. From performative property tax freezes to vanishing lifeguards to why people are really living on Vancouver&#39;s streets, Frances pulls no punches on where the city has gone wrong and what it would take to fix it. Why does she think the current mayor and council have lost the plot? What does a functioning city actually look like? And what would Frances Bula actually do differently if elected? The race for Vancouver City Hall just got more interesting.
