As we follow Canada’s housing market closely, it’s encouraging to see early signs of renewed activity—resales are improving, inventory has leveled off, and pricing is finding some stability. These shifts are restoring confidence for many buyers, especially as improved affordability and a solid employment landscape put more people in a position to act on their homeownership goals. The big question for all of us in real estate: when will those who’ve been waiting on the sidelines re-enter the market? With savings up and employment steady, many seem ready to step forward.
Looking ahead, forecasts suggest a pause in 2026, with resales projected to decrease by about 4% to around 453,000, and benchmark prices edging down 2% to about $794,000. Modest gains are anticipated in 2027, as borrowing costs remain near recent lows and the central bank is expected to hold rates. Of course, trade tensions and energy shocks could influence that momentum. Still, the outlook calls for growth in both resales and prices across all provinces by 2027—though the recovery is expected to be gradual rather than dramatic.
