Mr. El Moustir also brought up the case of two clients, a married couple, who were actively looking for a property.
The couple’s salary, totaling more than $200,000 per year, does not allow them to find a property that meets their needs, explains the entrepreneur.
“I’ll give you a concrete example. I went shopping with a couple this week. They made over $100,000 each and yet we are still having trouble finding a property that suits them. That’s a very good income, but interest rates are still holding a lot of people back,” he said.
