The much anticipated report from the newly created Housing Affordability Task force has been released! 🏠🏢🌆

In the past two months, the task force have met municipal leaders, planners, unions, developers and builders, the financial
sector, academics, think tanks and housing advocates to come up with solutions to the current housing crisis we face today.

An ambitious but achievable target of building 1.5 Million homes over the next Ten years has been proposed. This report includes over 50 recommendations on how to achieve this target and solve the crisis we face today.

Recommendations include: increasing housing density, removing red tape on developments, setting uniform provincial standards for urban design, and addressing labour shortages in the construction industry.

If you dont feel like reading this entire document I am always open for a discussion 😀

The Real Estate market continued to grow at a rapid pace throughout 2021. This can mostly be attributed to the shortage of supply and cheap mortgage rates encouraging investors to take advantage of the low rates while they last.

Many changes have been proposed for 2022 to try and slow the increase in average home prices as they soar to unattainable levels.
