Lately, we’ve seen some improvement in housing affordability across Canada, but it’s clear these gains are on shaky ground. With new home construction slowing—especially for ownership homes—it’s becoming a real concern that supply won’t keep up with what Canadians will need in the years ahead. Recent estimates show we’ll need between 417,000 and 469,000 new homes built every year to get back to the pre-pandemic level of affordability by 2036, and the gap isn’t really closing. Most of the new builds in major cities are rentals, while ownership-focused construction has dropped off, even as those rentals help balance things out a bit. Although slower population growth has given affordability a boost, homebuilding has slowed even more, which means we could still face a shortage once demand picks up again. As someone who’s committed to guiding you through every step of the buying or selling process, I keep a close eye on these trends—because protecting affordability now is essential for helping you reach your real estate goals down the road.
