718: What’s Next for Mortgages, Housing, and Social Media - Ron Butler
Ron Butler is back, and this one goes in a few different directions. We start with how his YouTube channel got hacked and what mortgage brokers can learn from that. Then we get into the real estate market, fixed vs. variable, where rates may go next, and why a lot of brokers are about to find out the market was carrying them more than they realized. Ron also shares what he’d change if he were in charge of fixing housing in Canada, and why most brokers should stop trying to be social media stars. In this episode, we cover: What Ron Learned From Getting Hacked - Why cheap help can become very expensive when your brand starts to grow. What He Sees in the Market Right Now - Ron breaks down renewals, falling prices, investor pain, and where activity is slowing across Canada. Fixed or Variable? - We talk about what’s changed, what borrowers are asking, and how uncertainty is shaping mortgage decisions. How He’d Fix Housing - Ron shares the biggest levers he’d pull to make housing more affordable and easier to build. The Truth About Social Media - Why most brokers should play defense online, and what it actually takes to make social media work. A lot of what’s happening right now comes down to this: the market is changing, the easy wins won’t last forever, and brokers who build real systems will be the ones who survive it.
