CMHC research tracking 30 years of Canadian housing data found that Canadians over 75 have been leaving the housing market less with every passing decade since the early 1990s. That trend has only continued. Not because they want to stay, but because the decision involves so much more than the house. Family dynamics, finances, legal questions, and decades of life in one place all land at once. If your family is in this conversation right now, you are not alone and there is no wrong place to start. We have helped a lot of families work through it. Message us anytime.
