Good news for Canadian homeowners and investors: household net worth climbed to $17.5 trillion in Q4, setting a new all-time record! Financial assets jumped 2.0% on the quarter, boosted by strong equity markets and a weaker Canadian dollar.
Real estate assets also rose—albeit modestly—helping Canadians build wealth even as market conditions shift. That’s five straight quarters of gains—but with a softer start to 2025 and home prices dipping in major metros like Toronto and Vancouver, this momentum may cool temporarily.
What it means for you:
If you’re thinking of selling, now could be a smart time to evaluate your equity position.
If you're planning to buy, rising net worth could offer more financial flexibility, especially with falling mortgage rates.
