In this episode, Dan Foch from the Canadian Real Estate Investor Podcast joins Simon. The duo takes a deep dive into how Canadian real estate and REITs performed in 2024 and what could shape the market in 2025. They explore why REITs and utilities underperformed compared to stock indices despite expectations of lower interest rates, the challenges posed by tight cap rate spreads, and how different real estate sectors are adapting.

They also discuss key trends in residential, retail, office, industrial, healthcare, and data center real estate—highlighting risks, opportunities, and what investors should watch for in the year ahead. They also provide potential REIT ideas for exposure in specific types of real estate.

Tickers of Stocks/ETFs discussed: AP-UN.TO, HR-UN.TO, GRT-UN.TO, DIR-UN.TO, SRU-UN.TO, REI-UN.TO, CSH-UN.TO, SIA.TO, NHW-UN.TO, EQIX, DLR, AMT
