Show Notes
Canada's housing market in 2025 is stuck in neutral—not booming or crashing, but stagnant. Despite interest rate cuts, buyer confidence remains low due to employment uncertainty and immigration policy reversals, creating a prolonged stalemate between cautious buyers and reluctant sellers. We're also joined by some of our national event hosts for some boots on the ground updates.
- Toronto has seen home values drop 25% since 2022 with condo prices down 7.5% year-over-year, while Winnipeg posted 7.2% price gains and Calgary remains 35% above pre-pandemic levels.
- Canada's population growth will hit near-zero in 2025-2026, down from 3%+ recently, with permanent resident targets reduced to 395,000 in 2025 and 365,000 by 2027, profoundly impacting rental markets and housing demand.
