Buy Now, Be "Hated" in 25 Years

The boomers didn't time the market. They just didn't wait.


A social media post was making the rounds a few weeks ago that said:


"People who buy now will be the ones hated by the youths of the future."


And honestly? They're not wrong.


After the crash of the early 90s, Toronto real estate was deeply discounted. The boomers who bought then — the ones everyone resents today for their fat equity — weren't geniuses.


They were just willing to act when others were paralyzed by fear.


Here's what nobody talks about: We're sitting 30–40% off the 2022 peak right now.


That's not a guarantee prices keep rising. But it is context.


The young buyers who close a deal in 2025–2026? In 25 years, the generation that follows them might look at those same buyers the exact same way millennials look at boomers today.


Not because they were lucky. Because they stopped waiting for the perfect moment that never comes.


I'm not here to tell you the market is going up tomorrow. Nobody knows that.


But I will tell you this: every client I've worked with who moved from "I'll wait and see" to "I'm ready to move forward" told me the same thing afterward:


"I wish I'd done this sooner."


If you're still on the fence if you are going to purchase your first home or upgrade to one that meet your needs, let's talk.


Not to pressure you — but to give you the clarity to make a decision you're actually confident in.
