Canada Residential Real Estate Market Analysis

The Canada Residential Real Estate Market size is expected to grow from USD 59.30 billion in 2023 to USD 69.41 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.20% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

  • As Canadian home prices continue to grow across the country, the national average home price broke an all-time high in January 2022. The average home price in Canada's housing market in January 2022 was CAD 748,439 (USD 587,487), up by 20% from 2021. That is the biggest year-over-year price gain in the history of the Canadian housing market. Price patterns for four different types of properties are investigated: new houses, new condominiums, resale houses, and resale condominiums. Before 2020, condominium units grew in value faster than single-family, semi-detached, and row residences. Many changes have occurred in the real estate sector since the outbreak, ranging from virtual tours to a preference for larger homes in the suburbs.
  • New Brunswick led the country in terms of the highest Y-o-Y price growth among the provinces, with home prices in New Brunswick up 32% Y-o-Y to CAD 275,000 (USD 215,861) for January 2022. The other Atlantic Provinces trailed behind, with Nova Scotia seeing prices increase by 23% Y-o-Y to CAD 392,828 (USD 308,350), Prince Edward Island with an 18% annual gain to CAD 351,890 (USD 276,216), and Newfoundland & Labrador with a 12% annual gain to CAD 324,800 (USD 254,951). Nationally, sales during January 2022 were down 11% Y-o-Y, while new home listings were down 11% month-over-month.
  • As a result, inventories of properties for sale have dropped to historic lows, leaving purchasers with few options. The Bank of Canada kept its overnight rate at 0.25%, where it has been since the beginning of the pandemic, in its January 2022 monetary policy review and said that it expects to keep it there through the middle quarters of 2022.
  • Due to COVID-19, builders, and buyers have mostly shifted to virtual tours and digital contract signings. The demand for larger houses has grown as working from home becomes more prevalent. According to the Bank of Canada (BoC), the housing affordability index declined by 15.3% in 2, reflecting less restrictive conditions for homeownership. Since then, it has gradually risen to exceed its pre-pandemic level in Q2 2021. The consumer house-buying power increased at the outset of the pandemic because of lower mortgage rates and higher Household Disposable Income (HDI).

Canada Residential Real Estate Market Trends

Immigration Policies are Driving the Market

Immigration has been a major source of economic growth for Canada's successive governments. With the pandemic forcing aged Canadians to retire early, luring immigrants has become increasingly crucial. In addition, the country focuses on high-skilled immigrants, who are more likely to bring money and earn enough to compete for coveted housing. Low mortgage rates and a scarcity of housing have pushed up housing expenses. Another reason was migration, particularly during the pre-pandemic. Immigrants are more likely to buy in large urban areas, such as greater Toronto and Vancouver, where home prices have risen above CAD 1.12 million (USD 88,000), according to Statistics Canada.

To meet the aim of 411,000 immigrants by 2022, the government is anticipated to attract more immigrants from abroad.

As a result, the number of newcomers who set foot on Canadian territory and begin seeking accommodation is expected to increase. This influx of immigrants will have the greatest influence on the rental market, as newcomers are more likely to rent in their first few years in the nation. The great majority of newcomers are settling in Canada's biggest cities, such as Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, adding to the housing shortage.

Demographic Factors are Driving the Market

Young Canadians are delaying starting a family as they stay in school longer, start their careers later and face greater challenges in housing affordability than previous generations. Immigration is on the rise, and newcomers are likely to live in multi-generational homes, but this has not yet fully offset the overall decline in household formation. Over the past decade, there has been an increase of nearly 80,000 multi-generational dwellings, but this represents only about 5% of new household formation. During the same period, one-person households represented 44% of all household formation (approximately 700,000 dwellings).

Households are projected to grow 730,000 year-on-year by 2024, or by 240,000 households per year, compared to 2021. Immigration is at the core of this growth. Ottawa's immigration targets are expected to bring in an all-time high of 1.3M new permanent residents by 2024, which would add 555,000 additional households.

As a result of immigration, Canada's population is growing at a rate that is more than double the rate of the OECD over the last decade. This growth combined with declining household sizes will boost demand for homes (both owned and rented) and serve as a strong counterweight to declining sales and prices, eventually putting a lid on the correction.
