Canada's housing markets split along regional lines in August
Reflecting on Canada’s housing markets this August, it’s clear that each region is charting its own path. Toronto saw a 1.3% dip in sales and a softening in prices, while Vancouver experienced an 8.5% jump in sales despite prices edging down. Ottawa’s prices crept up a little, Montreal’s listings increased by 7.1%, and Calgary had a notable 9% drop in sales with prices down 8%. Having spent decades navigating both residential and commercial markets in BC and especially here in the Fraser Valley, I know just how important it is to understand these regional shifts—each tells a story about local demand, opportunity, and timing. Over my 30 years in real estate and business, I’ve learned that even as national headlines grab our attention, it’s the local nuances that truly matter for buyers and sellers.

B.C. Home Market Shows Signs of Gradual Recovery in August
Looking at the latest numbers for British Columbia, we saw home sales dip 4.7% in August compared to last year, coming in at 5,653 transactions. The average home price remains just under $925,000. While activity is showing signs of a gradual recovery, sales are still tracking below our long-term averages. It’s interesting to see how different regions are moving: Okanagan saw a notable 22% drop, while South Peace River actually experienced a nearly 35% increase. Having worked in real estate across various markets for over three decades—and living right here in the Fraser Valley—I know how important it is to understand these shifts, whether you’re planning your next move or just keeping an eye on the market. My goal is always to keep my clients, friends, and community informed so you can make confident decisions.

Canada's Affordability Improves as Fixed Rates Rise
As someone who’s called the Fraser Valley home for 50 years, I always look for concrete details when it comes to understanding our local real estate market. Lately, there’s been talk about Canada’s housing affordability improving as fixed rates rise, but when you dig into the numbers, there’s a real lack of data specific to our area—or even Canada as a whole. Without information on home prices, mortgage rates, sales, or listings at the national or local level, it’s impossible to pin down how affordability is actually shifting for families here in Abbotsford or the Valley. The reports touched on trends in some Canadian cities and mentioned the mortgage stress test in general terms, but didn’t explain how buyers here would qualify or what monthly payments might look like. My take: let’s be cautious with broad headlines until we have real, local data to work with. Providing clear, reliable information has always been at the heart of how I serve my clients and neighbors—because decisions about your home are too important to make without the facts.

Canada Is Looking Beyond the U.S.
Having spent a lifetime here in the Fraser Valley, I’ve seen firsthand how the landscape—both literally and economically—continues to evolve. Canada is now taking meaningful steps to broaden its economic reach beyond the U.S., focusing on Europe as a key partner. This isn’t just about trade; areas like energy, AI, critical minerals, and infrastructure are opening up for cross-border investment. For us in the real estate and business community, this could redirect capital and create new avenues for growth, investment, and development projects. As someone who’s navigated both residential and commercial real estate for decades, I recognize how a wider network of partners can bring fresh opportunities right to our doorstep. It’s an exciting time, and the next chapter of Canada’s growth story might just be written with a more global pen.

Canadian Housing Affordability Still Needs Improvement
Housing affordability in Canada has seen some steady progress, with the latest numbers showing an improvement for the 11th quarter in a row—now sitting at about 41% in Q2 2026. That’s thanks to a combination of lower home prices, reduced borrowing costs, and rising incomes. Still, as someone who has worked in real estate for decades and has seen the ups and downs of our local market here in the Fraser Valley, I know firsthand that many families still feel the pinch. Even after roughly 13 percentage points of improvement since the peak, the reality is that homeownership remains a challenge for many, with housing costs taking up about two-fifths of the average household’s income.

It’s worth noting that these stats are based on average disposable income, not median, so the numbers may appear slightly rosier than what many households experience. According to a bank economist, this shift is the result of earlier rate cuts, a national price drop of about 20% from the 2022 high, and personal incomes that have held strong. Looking forward, with only modest income growth and limited rate relief on the horizon, further adjustments will likely need to come from home prices themselves.

Having spent my life working with families in Abbotsford and beyond, I understand the real, day-to-day impact these numbers have. Navigating these shifts takes both experience and a deep understanding of our community’s needs—something I’ve built over 30 years in the business.

Canada’s Housing Recovery Won’t Be a Boom
Having called the Fraser Valley home for five decades, I’ve seen many cycles come and go in our Canadian housing market. Lately, the signs of recovery have been subtle but real—resales are improving, inventory is holding steady, and prices are stabilizing or easing at a slower pace. According to the latest bank forecast, we’re not headed for a dramatic surge: in 2026, home resales are expected to dip by about 4% to 453,200, with benchmark prices also down around 2% to $794,200. Looking a year further, 2027 is forecasted to see a 7% rise in resales (up to 483,600) and a modest increase in benchmark values, just under 1%, bringing us to $800,700. This suggests a gradual, steady recovery—no sudden booms, just a market finding its footing.

Pent-up demand is a significant part of this story. The bank estimates that over 400,000 Canadian households haven’t formed since 2019, as many put their plans on hold. If affordability improves and confidence grows, that demand could begin to show up in the market. Of course, interest rates seem to have hit their floor, and there are always uncertainties with global trade tensions lingering.

Having worked with families and investors in real estate across residential and commercial sectors for over 30 years, I understand the hopes and concerns that come with these market shifts. My approach has always been to provide honest, experience-driven guidance—rooted in our community’s needs and realities. If you’re curious about how these trends might affect your next move, I’m always here to share what I know from a lifetime spent in the Fraser Valley and the real estate world.
