    We are pleased to announce the release of our second quarterly economist forecast report for the Canadian housing market. Authored by nesto’s consulting economist, Francis Gosselin, Ph.D., ASC., the report sheds light on the persistent challenge of insufficient housing supply in Canada and its impact on the real estate industry.

    Our special quarterly report details trends in the Canadian housing market, namely the increasing risks and costs of housing projects affecting developers. While there’s still hope for a more balanced housing market in 2024, these shifts have led to inflated home prices and limited options for potential buyers as demand outpaces supply.

    This publication can help us all be informed and better prepared for future economic shifts.


    Key Findings

    • Real estate values are projected to remain stable or experience slight growth in the short term.
    • A more balanced growth rate is expected in the Canadian housing market from 2024 onwards.
    • The Bank of Canada is expected to maintain its interest rate at 5% until 2024.
