Ontario Builders Prepare for Growth with New Investments
Ontario home builders are facing some steep cost hikes, with new tariff disputes between Canada and the U.S. driving up construction expenses by $9,000 to $14,000 for single homes and $18,000 to $28,000 for mid-rise units. These rising costs are affecting not just materials, but also jobs, housing starts, and overall market affordability across North America. As someone who’s always keeping an eye on what’s happening in the real estate market, I know how these shifts can influence both buyers and sellers. If you’re curious about how these changes might play out locally, take a look at my listings or our office listings for a closer look at what’s available and how current market conditions might impact your next move.

Canada's housing markets show persistent regional splits
Across Canada, we’re continuing to see distinct trends in different housing markets. Toronto’s recovery seems to have hit a pause, with prices heading downward. Meanwhile, Ottawa is experiencing a rise in prices. In BC, prices are still declining, but not as quickly as before. Montreal buyers are feeling the pinch of affordability challenges, while out west in Calgary and Edmonton, the markets are cooling but are still fueled by strong population growth. Every region has its own rhythm, and understanding these shifts is key to making informed decisions—whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching the market. As always, staying updated helps you navigate these changes with confidence.

Canada Poised for Homebuilding Growth Beyond 2025
As someone who keeps a close watch on the Canadian housing market, I’ve noticed some telling shifts: National housing starts dipped another 2% last month to 17,691 units, and we’re seeing a 4% decline year-to-date. While Montreal and Vancouver managed slight increases, Toronto held steady. With high costs, softer demand, and excess inventory weighing on builders, there’s talk that these challenges could slow new construction right through to 2028. If you’re curious how these trends could impact your next move—whether buying or selling—it’s more important than ever to have a clear view of what’s happening locally. I’m always following the numbers so you’re equipped to make smart, timely decisions.

Canada Is Looking Beyond the U.S.
As someone who’s always watching how global shifts affect our local market, I’m interested in Canada’s recent move to deepen economic ties with Europe. Beyond traditional trade, this opens up possibilities in energy, AI, critical minerals, and infrastructure—sectors that could draw new investment and, in turn, create fresh opportunities here at home. For those keeping an eye on real estate, these broader international partnerships might redirect capital and spark new projects, not just rely on what’s happening with our neighbors to the south. Where Canada builds its next partnerships could shape our own growth stories for years to come.

Expert: Priorities That Should Guide Ontario's Housing Reform
Let’s connect and talk about the latest insights in the industry!

Canadian Housing Affordability Still Needs Improvement
Canadian housing affordability has shown some progress, with the affordability index reaching around 41% in Q2 2026. That's the 11th straight quarter of improvement, driven by a combination of lower home prices, eased borrowing costs, and growing incomes. Despite this progress, the reality is that home ownership remains a significant challenge across the country—housing costs still claim about two-fifths of the average household’s income. It’s important to keep in mind that these figures are based on average disposable income, not median income, which means many families may feel the pinch more than the numbers suggest. According to a bank economist, the turnaround so far reflects rate cuts, a roughly 20% drop in national prices from their 2022 peak, and stronger personal incomes. Looking forward, unless we see bigger gains in income or more rate cuts, further improvement in affordability will likely depend on continued price adjustments. As someone who closely follows the market at Re/Max real estate centre, I know how these trends impact both buyers and sellers in real time.

Canada’s Housing Recovery Won’t Be a Boom
While there’s been talk of Canada’s housing market picking up steam since early in the second quarter, it’s clear we’re not headed for a dramatic surge. Recent data shows resales improving, inventory holding steady, and prices either stabilizing or easing at a slower pace. Looking ahead, the bank anticipates about 4% fewer home resales in 2026, landing at 453,200, with benchmark prices dipping around 2% to $794,200—even with today’s positive momentum. In 2027, the forecast is a 7% jump in resales to 483,600, and prices inching up to $800,700, signaling a measured recovery rather than a boom. One factor supporting this outlook is the pent-up demand from over 400,000 Canadian households who’ve put off buying since 2019. It’s a reminder of how affordability, steady economic growth, and buyer confidence will play a big role in shaping the next few years. Rates appear to have bottomed out, but ongoing trade tensions could still make things interesting. As someone who tracks these trends closely for my clients, I know the path ahead calls for both patience and perspective.

Ontario Condo Closings Face Value Gap
Lately, I’ve been seeing more Ontario condo buyers caught off guard by a significant gap between what they agreed to pay and actual market value—sometimes up to 30% above what their unit is worth. The delays from pre-sales, permits, and contractor schedules mean a lot can change between signing and closing. When banks base mortgage amounts on the unit’s current value, many buyers just don’t have enough funds to close if their contract price is higher than the appraisal. Earlier, in a fast-paced seller’s market, developers would sometimes cancel deals when costs soared, which led to more provincial oversight and calls for independent reviews. Buyers are often locked into complex contracts, with only a short 10-day cooling-off period or an escape if occupancy is delayed. Navigating these situations takes a close eye on both contract details and shifting market conditions—something I always prioritize in my work for clients.
