In this episode, David tackles a fascinating and often perplexing question: Why do people love being bearish on Toronto real estate? Through anecdotes, historical context, and a deep dive into market psychology, David explores the reasons behind the perennial pessimism some people hold about Toronto’s real estate market.
David begins by recounting his early experiences with bearish predictions in the real estate market and highlights how terms like "crash" and "bubble" have been thrown around since he started in the industry in 2004. He discusses notable figures like Garth Turner and Hilliard MacBeth, whose bearish predictions have influenced public perception for years, despite being proven wrong by the market’s continued growth.
Drawing on specific examples and historical data, David examines why certain individuals and media outlets persist in their negative outlook.
