INSIDE THE VILLAGE: Home ownership is a dying dream

This week on the podcast: A real estate expert at the University of Guelph has some interesting insights on the housing crisis in Ontario

Welcome back to Inside the Village, a one-of-a-kind podcast where all news is local — and no topic is off-limits.

On this week's episode: Do you really want to buy that house?

Amid skyrocketing prices, scarce supply and longer mortgage terms, the dream of owning a home is slipping away for many Canadians — especially young ones.

Diana Mok, a real estate professor at the University of Guelph, spends a lot of time thinking about the ongoing housing crisis. She joins us to share some interesting insights.

Also on this week's podcast: Our Village keeps on growing.

Hosted by Scott Sexsmith and Michael Friscolanti, the Editor-in-Chief of Village Media, Inside the Village is a news and current affairs podcast that provides a weekly window into some of the best local journalism from across our chain of Ontario newsrooms. Produced by Derek Turner, the program also explores bigger-picture issues that impact people across the province.
