For years, one of the driving narratives in Canadian real estate was deceptively simple: population growth equals home-price growth. Between 2021-2023, that tailwind was unmistakable — massive immigration, booming temporary residents, and a swelling demand for housing fueled price rises across the country. But that story is now changing. The latest federal budget from Ottawa projects zero population growth for the first time in modern history — a signal that the era of “Demographic Alpha” may...

ZERO Growth: How Canada’s New Population Targets Will Reshape the Housing Market

In this week’s episode, we break down everything from the federal budget fallout to land title uncertainty in B.C., and what all of it means for prices heading into 2026. Let’s start with Ottawa. The latest federal budget was pitched as a housing p...

Mortgage PAIN, Record Cancellations & Rate Cuts: What’s Next for Canada’s Market
This week on The Vancouver Life Real Estate Podcast — the Bank of Canada cuts rates again. But are we at the bottom of this cycle, or is another surprise still coming? As Ottawa gears up to unveil its massive 2026 federal budget, we break down how an $80 billion deficit could completely reshape Canada’s interest rate path and keep borrowing costs higher for longer. What does that mean for homebuyers, investors, and renters? We’ll unpack it all — from a slowing economy to a shifting housing pi...

Mortgage Debt Hits RECORD HIGH as Prices FALL - Canada Nears BREAKING Point
According to the latest data from the Canadian Real Estate Association, national home sales declined by 1.7% month-over-month in September, ending a string of steady gains that began in the spring. Even so, this was still the strongest September for sales since 2021. On a year-over-year basis, transactions were up 5.2%, while both new listings and total active listings fell 0.8%. That left just 4.4 months of inventory available nationwide — the lowest level since January, and below the long-t...

From Boom to Freeze: Canada’s Housing Construction Crisis Explained
Canada’s housing market is undergoing a fundamental transformation—not just in prices, but in the types of homes being built. From Toronto to Vancouver to Calgary, developers are hitting pause, construction starts are slowing, and the mix of housing completions over the next 3 to 5 years is shifting dramatically. Single-family homes and condos, the traditional pillars of Canadian homeownership, are seeing major declines in new construction, while purpose-built rentals are quietly surging to r...

How LOW Will Prices GO: A Look Into Canada’s Real Estate Future
This week on The Vancouver Life Real Estate Podcast, the question hanging over the entire country’s housing market finally takes center stage: How long will this downturn last? BMO Capital Markets has drawn a striking parallel between today’s Canadian correction and the U.S. housing crash of 2007 — a comparison that has rattled even the most seasoned market watchers. Senior Economist Robert Kavcic doesn’t mince words: Canada’s housing bubble is now in the slow-motion phase of its deflation. P...

OCTOBER 2025 Vancouver Real Estate Market Update - Prices, Jobs & Pre Sales Falling
Canada’s housing market is shifting faster than the headlines suggest—and not in one direction. On paper, “affordability” is improving as prices slip and the overnight rate eases to 2.5%, taking ownership costs back toward late-2021 levels. But the market isn’t responding like 2021 because confidence has fractured. Job openings fell 4.2% month-over-month, construction vacancies plunged 14.3% in a single month, and there are now more Canadians on EI (~550k) than there are job postings (~460k)....

Vancouver & Toronto Real Estate: The Shocking Data You Need to See
Canada’s housing market is being battered from every angle, and the cracks are widening into a full-blown crisis. Population growth, the single biggest driver of housing demand, has nearly stalled. Statistics Canada reported Q2 growth of just 47,000 people — a 0.1% increase and the second-slowest pace since 1946, excluding the pandemic. For a country that has leaned heavily on immigration to fuel housing, GDP, and tax revenues, this 80-year low is seismic. Developers who banked on endless inf...

Canada's Real Estate Market Is Splintering
Yesterday, both the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada cut interest rates by a quarter point. On paper it may sound small, but in reality it was a major signal. Central banks rarely move in tandem unless the global economy is flashing warning signs. In this case, the cuts were not acts of strength, but indications of a weakening economy. The Fed acted on the back of softening labour and inflation data. The Bank of Canada responded to one of the worst employment reports the country ha...

Vancouver Rental Market Update | 2025 Outlook
Vancouver’s rental market is undergoing substantial rental correction. For years, the story was one of relentless increases: month after month of record-high rents, bidding wars for apartments, and vacancy rates scraping along the bottom. But the tide has shifted. In fact, Vancouver has just recorded the sharpest annual drop in average asking rents among Canada’s major markets. According to Rentals.ca, apartment listings in Vancouver fell nearly 10% year over year to around $2,820. One-bedroo...

Canada’s Housing Market Has Cracked Wide Open
Canada has long lived off its mythology: a country of opportunity, stability, and growth. But 2025 is stripping away that veneer. For the first time in a generation, the country is experiencing a profound reversal of the very forces that powered its ascent — population, jobs, and GDP — and nowhere are the consequences clearer than in the housing market. Last year, more than 106,000 Canadians left the country — the largest exodus since the late 1960s. At the same time, Ontario and B.C., the tw...

The Canadian real estate landscape is undergoing a tectonic shift.

From pre-sale condo collapses to landmark legal rulings, the real estate rulebook is being rewritten in real time.

AUGUST 2025 Vancouver Real Estate Market Update - Prices Drop Even Further
Canada’s Housing Market Is Hitting a Breaking Point — and the August 2025 numbers prove it. Vancouver home prices have slipped to their lowest level in over two years. Toronto prices? Wiped back to 2020 levels — erasing nearly all the gains from the pandemic boom. Inventory is piling up, sales are stagnant, and in some cases, sellers are watching hundreds of thousands in value disappear. Meanwhile, the rental market — long thought to be untouchable — is cracking. Landlords are offering months...

Real Estate Meltdown - Why Developers Are Sounding the Alarm
Canada’s real estate industry is officially in crisis mode.

From record-breaking drops in pre-construction sales to massive project cancellations and widespread layoffs, the development industry is sounding the alarm louder than ever. Why now? Because new housing starts are collapsing. Because financing h...

Feeling like you’re working harder and getting less? You’re not alone — and the numbers prove it. This week’s episode of The Vancouver Life Real Estate Podcast takes a hard look at how Canada’s exploding tax burden, runaway deficits, and fleeing capital are colliding with the nation’s housing market.

The big headline? There will be no rate cut in July. Inflation is ticking up again, job numbers came in scorching hot, and bond yields are surging — all of which are keeping fixed mortgage rates in the uncomfortable mid-4% range. — We begin with an announcement for homeowners: our team i...

Why Vancouver Home Prices STILL Haven’t Crashed
Even with high interest rates, record-breaking mortgage renewals, a historic surge in pre-sale inventory, and the highest resale listings we've seen in over a decade, Vancouver real estate prices haven’t crashed. Over the past 12 months, prices have only declined 2.8%, and though they’re down 7% from the peak three years ago, they’re still up 12% compared to five years ago. So, the obvious question is: Why? Why have home prices remained so stable—especially when consumer sentiment is low, len...

JULY 2025 Vancouver Real Estate Market Update - How Unaffordable?!
In this week’s Vancouver real estate update, we dive into the latest data and indicators painting a complex picture of the market. We start with the Housing Affordability Index, a measure of median household income against mortgage payments, taxes, and utilities. According to this index, Canadian homes have never actually been considered affordable—not once in the last 40 years. The most affordable period came in the late 1990s, when the metric dipped to 34%, just shy of the “ideal” target of...
