EP 193: Uncovering Real Estate Opportunities in Rural Canada with Adam Lesperance

Exit Strategies Radio Show

Can real estate in a small rural town really hold the keys to generational wealth? According to returning guest Adam Lesperance, the answer is yes—and he’s back to share the surprising market shifts and what’s next.

Adam Lesperance is the team leader of the Terry Hastings Real Estate Group, based in the Wiarton area of Ontario, Canada. His team is among the top 20 in the country under Keller Williams and specializes in rural and recreational communities.

Today’s episode is a follow-up to Episode 113 where Adam talked about legacy building on the water. Now, Adam is back with updates on how the Canadian market has shifted since then—especially in light of recent interest rate cuts, a volatile luxury market, and what economic ripple effects from the U.S. mean for Canada.

He dives into the structure of Canadian mortgages, how shorter-term fixed rates influence real estate decisions, and what rising rates mean for homeowners who are nearing renewal. Adam also breaks down how low inventory and rural connectivity shape their market, while Corwyn draws parallels with the American experience.

Key Takeaways:

• 4:22 Adam’s team ranked Top 20 in Canada under Keller Williams

• 6:27 Canadian interest rates lowered to 2.75% with mortgage rates under 4%

• 7:26 Luxury and waterfront markets are cooling; essentials are still moving

• 8:13 Canadian mortgages work on 5-year fixed terms, requiring renewal

• 9:13 Homeowners facing renewals at higher rates often sell to preserve equity
