Canada Housing 2026: Slowdown Before Recovery

Canada’s housing market is entering a slower phase, with weak demand, cautious buyers, and modest price growth expected through 2026 and into 2027.
Economic slowdown, higher mortgage renewals, and weak income growth are limiting affordability, keeping home sales below historical averages nationwide.
Construction activity is declining, especially in condo-heavy markets like Toronto and Vancouver, reducing future housing supply.
Regional divergence grows, with stronger outlooks in Montreal and Calgary, while major markets lag before gradual recovery starting 2027.

Canada Housing Starts Lose Momentum

Canada’s housing starts softened again in Late-Q1 2026. The annualized pace ↓6% MoM to 235,852 units, while the 6-mo trend ↓2.9% to 248,378.
Actual starts in larger population centers still ↑10% yearly to 16,398 in Late-Q1, lifting the year-to-date total to 49,206, up 9% from 2025.
An economist said the yearly gain mostly reflected an exceptionally weak 2025 base, while current construction momentum kept fading despite volatile monthly data.
Rural starts were estimated at an annualized 11,846 units. Canada’s three largest metro areas posted double-digit yearly gains, led mainly by multi-unit projects.
The broader outlook stayed cooler: another industry group cut its 2026 home sales forecast, while the agency expected national starts to decline through 2028.
