After the Machine: Real Estate Finance in 2030

November 10, 2026

In a fast-changing market, looking five years ahead.

The closing leadership roundtable will look beyond today’s cycle and ask what Canada’s real estate finance market could look like by 2030. Will AI become a trusted underwriting partner? Will private credit become mainstream? Will climate risk reshape collateral value? Will home ownership remain the dominant aspiration? Will regulation keep pace with the market?

This discussion will bring together senior executives from across the ecosystem to debate the future market structure. The focus will be on the strategic choices facing lenders, insurers, investors, policymakers, and technology providers as Canada moves toward a more automated, data-driven, risk-sensitive real estate finance system.
