Canada's Great Wealth Transfer Is Really a Real Estate Transfer
About this episode
What the "Great Wealth Transfer" actually looks like in Canada, and why it's really a Great Space Transfer. With $8.4 trillion in residential real estate (nearly 4x GDP) and boomers owning 41% of all Canadian homes (most mortgage-free), the inheritance story here isn't about stock portfolios, it's about houses, postal codes, and market access. They dig into the regional lottery (inheriting in Vancouver vs. Winnipeg), the Bank of Mom and Dad now enabling 1 in 3 first-time buyers, the cottage tax trap, the rise of multiplex zoning as a generational wealth multiplier, and the estate-planning conversations most Canadian families still aren't having. Practical takeaways for investors, heirs, and anyone navigating the Canadian housing market over the next two decades.
