Canada’s Housing Recovery Won’t Be a Boom
Canada’s housing market has been edging toward recovery since Early-Q2, with resales improving, inventory leveling off, and prices either stabilizing or easing more slowly.
The bank expected 2026 home resales to ↓~4% to 453.2K and benchmark prices to ↓~2% to $794.2K, despite the improving recent trend.
For 2027, the bank forecast resales ↑~7% to 483.6K and benchmark values ↑400K Canadian households may not have formed since 2019 as many postponed buying decisions.
The outlook depends on affordability, steady growth, and stronger confidence, but the bank said rates likely bottomed and trade tensions could still disrupt progress. -

Ontario Micro-Condos Face Steep Depreciation
GTA avg. home selling price was $993K in Mid-Q3 2026, down ~3% yearly, showing the broader market continued easing overall for buyers.
GTA condo apartments averaged $618K in Mid-Q3 2026, below the prior year's level, while the smallest units posted the market's sharpest depreciation.
Micro condos, under 500 sq-ft, were toughest to move in the GTA, with limited end-user appeal and buyers gaining access to larger options.
In Early-Q3, condos sold below list in ~98% of GTA neighbourhoods with at least five sales, giving active buyers unusually broad negotiating room.
Single-family homes also saw underbidding across ~92% of GTA neighbourhoods, but condos were more sensitive as investor demand faded and more investor-friendly units lingered. -

GTA Low-Rise Demand Gets Boost
Following the HST rebate program, demand increased for low-rise new homes in the GTA, signaling stronger buyer interest in that segment recently.
Builders responded to the demand uptick with a steady flow of new low-rise product, keeping the sector balanced and helping limit upward pricing pressure.
The condominium sector continued to struggle to fully participate, as rules around construction start and completion dates limited how much this segment benefited.
Gross pricing was not adjusted for any rebate, but qualifying purchasers could realize additional savings, improving affordability and supporting new homeownership in the GTA.
Industry leaders said measures like this can strengthen the region's economic outlook, protect jobs, and they want governments to help the condo sector participate. -
Expert: Priorities That Should Guide Ontario’s Housing Reform
Housing affordability remains a major concern in Ontario, with home prices now exceeding seven times the average annual income. As someone who works closely with first-time buyers, professionals, downsizers, and young families, I see firsthand how high taxes, fees, and complex regulations make it even more challenging to find the right home. Meaningful housing reform should focus on tax relief, streamlining approval processes, modernizing building codes, and removing land transfer taxes. These steps could make a real difference for families striving to achieve their real estate goals. My commitment has always been to put your best interests first—helping you navigate these challenges with care and integrity.
