The latest RBC Home Ownership Poll found that:

- Buying is more complicated than ever: 74% of respondents said buying a home today is more complicated than it was for previous generations, and 65% said past generations don't understand the challenges facing today's buyers.

- Timing anxiety is real: Half of prospective buyers worry that waiting could mean being priced out if home prices rise, while an equal share worry about purchasing now only to see prices fall.

If you're navigating today's market, whether it's your first purchase or your next renewal, understanding your best next move makes all the difference. Let's connect!

Canadians used to be driven to buy their first home before 30, but a recent RBC poll shows those days may be in the rearview mirror for first-time home buyers.

- 32% of prospective buyers believe it's a smart way for families to manage housing costs (32% for all respondents)
