According to the forecast, the number of home sales in 2026 is expected to reach almost *******. The Canadian residential housing market is going through a period of change because the skyrocketing home prices are being tempered by various governmental interventions.

The Canadian luxury housing market, encompassing high-end apartments, condominiums, villas, and landed houses, is experiencing robust growth, driven by several factors. Strong economic performance in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, coupled with increasing high-net-worth individuals and foreign investment, fuels demand for premium properties. The limited supply of luxury housing, particularly in desirable urban locations, further contributes to price escalation. While rising interest rates present a potential headwind, the overall market remains resilient due to persistent demand from domestic and international buyers seeking exclusive residences. The market segmentation reveals variations in performance across property types and cities. Toronto and Vancouver consistently rank among the most expensive markets globally, attracting significant investment. While the "Other Cities" segment experiences growth, its pace lags behind the top-tier urban centres due to factors such as lower population density and reduced economic activity compared to the major hubs. This dynamic creates opportunities for developers catering to the specific preferences within each segment. Looking ahead, the Canadian luxury housing market is projected to maintain a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 10% throughout the forecast period (2025-2033). Several trends are expected to shape market evolution, including the growing popularity of sustainable and smart-home features, an increasing preference for larger living spaces, and a rise in demand for properties with proximity to amenities and green spaces. However, regulatory changes aiming to cool down the market, such as stricter mortgage rules or increased property taxes, could act as restraints on future growth. Key players such as Westbank Corp, Mattamy Homes, and Oxford Properties Group, amongst others, continue to dominate the market through strategic acquisitions and new development projects. International market dynamics and global economic conditions may also impact investment flows into the Canadian luxury housing sector, shaping overall market performance in the coming years.

The house price ratio in Canada peaked in the second quarter of 2022, followed by three quarters of decline and a slight rebound in 2023. The ratio measures the development of housing affordability and is calculated by dividing nominal house price by nominal disposable income per head, with 2015 set as a base year when the index amounted to 100. Canada's index score in the third quarter of 2024 amounted to 136.8, which means that house price growth has outpaced income growth by almost 37 percent since 2015. Canadian home prices are fallingAfter several years of steady increase, Canadian house prices were forecast to fall slightly in 2023. This was also the case in British Columbia, which has consistently been the most expensive province for housing. This is likely because Vancouver, Canada's most expensive city, is located there. Canadian incomes on the riseIncomes in Canada have steadily risen since 2000 and show no signs of slowing down in the near future. This should improve housing affordability, as long as home price growth slows down.

The Real Estate Investment Trusts industry in Canada has declined in recent years, as solid operational efficiency and a low interest rate environment, which had laid the foundation for growth, have been undermined by the COVID-19 pandemic and interest rate hikes. Prior to 2020, the industry benefited from a low level of revenue volatility backed by a steady stream of income from rentals amid stable economic growth. Long-term rent contracts in commercial segments and the rise of rental rates in the residential product segment enabled the industry to maintain stable growth rates. Overall, industry revenue is expected to have declined at a CAGR of 5.6% to reach an estimated $8.2 billion in 2023, when revenue is expected to decline 8.1%. Continued decline in 2023 can be attributed to rising interest rates, which have inhabited operators from making investments and have dampened demand for property sold by REITs.Industry revenue generally grows in line with the economy and benefits from steady streams of income generated from rent. The overall health of the economy had been sound prior to 2020, which benefited the industry through higher levels of investment to satisfy increasing demand for properties by businesses. A booming housing market in major metropolitan hubs, many of which have experienced elevated rental prices, has underpinned revenue growth in the residential segment. More recent interest rate hikes have raised the cost of capital for industry operators, driving down industry profit.Moving forward, the industry is expected to return to growth, with industry revenue forecast to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% to reach an expected $9.2 billion in 2028. Declining interest rates and an aging population are set to drive growth. Falling interest rates will likely make other investments less attractive, making REITs more valuable. An aging population is expected to keep demand afloat as they are typically attracted to the steady and generally market-beating returns REITs offer.

The Canadian home lending market, valued at approximately $X million in 2025 (assuming a reasonable market size based on available data and comparable markets), is experiencing robust growth, projected to maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 5.00% through 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key drivers. Increasing homeownership aspirations among Canadians, particularly among millennials and Gen Z, are significantly contributing to market demand. Favorable government policies aimed at supporting affordable housing, though potentially fluctuating, also play a vital role. Furthermore, the rise of innovative financial technologies and the increasing accessibility of online lending platforms are streamlining the borrowing process and broadening market reach. Competition is intense among a diverse range of lenders, including commercial banks (like Bank of Montreal and National Bank of Canada), financial institutions, credit unions (such as PenFinancial and First Ontario), and specialized mortgage providers (like True North Mortgage and IntelliMortgage). This competitive landscape fosters innovation and drives down costs for borrowers. However, the market faces challenges. Rising interest rates represent a significant restraint, impacting affordability and potentially slowing growth. Stringent lending regulations, designed to mitigate risk, can also restrict lending volume to some extent. Furthermore, economic uncertainties and fluctuations in housing prices can influence market sentiment and borrower confidence. Market segmentation shows considerable diversity, with fixed-rate loans maintaining a significant share, alongside growing demand for home equity lines of credit. The rise of online lending is transforming the sector, though offline channels remain important, particularly for complex mortgages or those requiring personalized guidance. The forecast period (2025-2033) presents both opportunities and risks for lenders, requiring strategic adaptation to prevailing economic and regulatory conditions. The continued growth of the market depends upon careful balance between affordable housing options and sustainable financial practices.

Real estate appraisal in Canada has thrived because of a strong housing market and economic growth. Low interest rates amid the pandemic bolstered the residential market and paved the way for a multitude of new housing projects. It also caused many potential home buyers to make the jump since mortgage rates were at historical lows. Even so, this growth did not last long as inflationary concerns constrained the need for appraisals following the pandemic, causing a 4.6% decline in 2023. Overall, real estate appraisal is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% to $928.4 million over the five years to 2023, where profit will reach 22.8%.While the residential sector slumped significantly post-pandemic, a revitalized commercial construction sector prevented revenue from completely sinking. Commercial appraisals fell drastically amid the pandemic as health and safety regulations forced businesses to close temporarily, halting business activity. Consumer sentiment grew as the economy eventually opened and corporate profit rebounded amid falling uncertainty. Businesses resumed merger and acquisition activity and property expansion, which requires appraisal services to complete the transaction.Through 2028, the commercial real estate market is set to grow as businesses expand their operations. The residential housing market is expected to bounce back as interest rates are set to come down following more minor inflation bumps. Appraisal companies will continue to leverage new technologies to expand the scope of their services, become more competitive and offer more precise valuations for all types of clients. Real estate appraisal revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 1.9% to $1.0 billion.

TRREB Releases 2022 Q4 Condo Market Statistics Selling prices for condominium apartments bucked the overall downward trend in the housing market during the fourth quarter of 2022. The average selling price in Q4 2022 stayed in line with the average in Q4 2021. "While condo market conditions have become more balanced over the past year, there has been enough demand relative to supply to support selling prices. On average, the condo market segment is the most affordable. Therefore, it makes sense that we didn9t see the same type of price adjustment, in the face of higher borrowing costs, compared to other more expensive segments like detached homes," said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Paul Baron. Total condo apartment sales amounted to 3,582 in Q4 2022 3 down 54.1 per cent compared to Q4 2021. New listings were also down on a year-over-year basis by 14.3 per cent. The average Q4 2022 selling price was $710,520, which was slightly higher than the Q4 2021 average of $710,246. Looking at individual Greater Toronto Area (GTA) regions, a similar trend played itself out, with average selling prices remaining flat compared to last year. "Condo apartments remain an important segment of the market. They are the key entry point for many first-time buyers. Investor-owned condos are also an important source of rental supply in many parts of the GTA. As immigration into Canada continues at a record pace for the foreseeable future, the GTA will welcome many new households. This should see the demand for condos, in both the ownership and rental markets, strengthen moving forward," said TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer.

The Canadian office real estate market, currently valued at approximately $XX million (assuming a reasonable market size based on comparable markets and the provided CAGR), is experiencing robust growth, projected to maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 8% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. Firstly, the flourishing technology sector in major cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa is fueling significant demand for modern office spaces. Secondly, increasing urbanization and population growth within these metropolitan areas are contributing to a tightening of the office supply, further pushing rental rates upward. Finally, ongoing investments in infrastructure and a generally positive economic outlook in Canada contribute to a favorable environment for real estate investment. Major players like JLL, Colliers, CBRE Canada, and Avison Young are actively shaping the market dynamics, with significant developments and acquisitions influencing market trends. However, the market is not without its challenges. Rising interest rates and economic uncertainty present potential headwinds, impacting investment decisions and potentially slowing down growth in the short term. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of hybrid work models by many companies could lead to a decrease in overall demand for traditional office spaces, though the extent of this impact remains to be seen. The market's resilience will depend on the ability of developers and landlords to adapt to these evolving workplace trends, embracing flexible lease terms and innovative building designs to attract and retain tenants. The segmentation of the market by major cities highlights the regional variations in growth, with Toronto likely remaining a dominant force due to its established financial and technological hubs.
