Canada Poised for Homebuilding Growth Beyond 2025

We’re seeing some notable shifts in Canada’s homebuilding landscape: national housing starts have dipped 2% month-over-month, now at 17,691 units, with a 4% decline year-to-date. While Montreal and Vancouver are showing some upward momentum, Toronto remains steady. The slowdown is being shaped by high construction costs, lower demand, and an increasing inventory—factors that may impact building activity right through to 2028. Watching these trends closely is key, especially for those considering their next move in neighbourhoods like Central Lonsdale, Fraserview NW, North Coquitlam, Westwood Plateau, Highgate, or Downtown Vancouver West. Understanding where supply and demand are headed is a vital part of making informed real estate decisions.
