Mr. El Moustir also raised the case of two clients, a couple, actively looking for a property.

The couple’s salary, totaling more than $200,000 per year, does not allow them to find a property according to their needs, explains the entrepreneur.

“I’ll give you a concrete example. I was shopping this week with a couple. They made over $100,000 each, and despite this, it was difficult to find a property that suited them. This is very good income, but despite this, interest rates are holding back many people,” he said.
