Hi [CLIENT_NAME],

I wanted to share some interesting market analysis that might be relevant to your situation. An industry expert recently published data showing how the rent vs. buy equation has shifted dramatically in 2026.

The key finding: monthly mortgage payments now exceed comparable rents by 50%+ in many Ontario markets, while home prices have declined significantly since 2022. This challenges the traditional assumption that buying is always the better financial move.

Given your current situation, this might be worth discussing. The analysis breaks down the real costs and helps frame the decision with actual numbers rather than conventional wisdom.
