Welcome to a data-driven channel focused on Canadian real estate, housing economics, and artificial intelligence.
I’m Daniel Foch, a real estate broker at Valery.ca, an AI-powered real estate brokerage, and the co-founder of Realist.ca. I also host The Canadian Real Estate Investor Podcast.
This channel breaks down what is actually happening in Canada’s housing market using real data, economic analysis, and firsthand industry experience.
Topics include Canadian housing market updates, real estate prices, mortgage rates, interest rates, inflation, unemployment, housing supply, affordability, and public policy. I cover real estate investing strategies for buyers, investors, and operators with a strong focus on macroeconomic trends.
I also review AI tools for real estate, testing CRMs, automation software, content tools, valuation models, and agent workflows. Each review answers one question. Can this AI tool replace or improve a real task a realtor or investor does today?

Not surprising, but buyers are obviously very tired of getting catfished by AI listing photos.
Of all of the ways to implement AI in your real estate business, this is probably a top 5 dumbest use case.

Data centers are projected to consume 20% of U.S. electricity by 2035.
Forget asking who will build the best AI model.
Start asking:
Who owns the land?
Who has the grid connection?
Who has the transmission capacity?
Who can actually get power permits?
AI is becoming one of the biggest real estate stories of the decade:

US companies are routing a record 58% of AI tokens through Chinese Models.
This is the actual big headwind for US AI.
How long can China afford to wait out US labs?

In 2022, I called that multiplexes would become the primary supply type in urban areas as the condo product collapsed.
So we created MULTIPLEX TORONTO events, and sold it out for 2 years in a row. In 2025 the prediction landed.
