House prices need to fall in Canada

Why Falling Home Prices Are Key to the Canadian Real Estate Market

In this episode, we examine the current state of the Canadian real estate market. A recent BMO report suggests that home sales need to fall for the industry to see more activity. We delve into the latest statistics from the Canadian Real Estate Association, highlighting slight rises in home sales but stagnant or falling home prices.

We discuss how decreasing prices, rather than potential rate cuts, are improving affordability and drawing buyers back. Key statistics include a 3.8% monthly increase in sales and the sales-to-new-listings ratio rising to 52%. We also spotlight specific regional trends, including falling prices in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary. The episode concludes with a discussion on a potential market shift driven by economic factors such as job losses and potential GDP decline. Join the conversation in the comments!
