Podcast: Mortgage 101 with Clinton Wilkins
Episode: Mortgage 101 - Urban Sprawl and Prefab Homes in 2024's Housing Market Dynamics
Description: Your host, Clinton Wilkins recaps this year's conversations with Todd Veinotte on the housing market in Halifax. Clinton reminds us of the need for densification due to urban sprawl and limited land availability. In 2024 we have multiple offers, but less frequently as in 2021-2022. Prefabricated homes are considered a potential solution to reduce housing costs, with economies of scale and controlled environments being key. Clinton recaps his conversation earlier this year with local realtor James Dwyer who notes a 20% increase in listings and sales, with entry-level properties remaining competitive.Â
