Thanks for stopping by!
How can it be that we are almost halfway through December, and approaching the close of 2025!
Thinking about buying or selling in 2026? Read this first
Royal LePage put out a 2026 outlook this week, and the headline is basically this: next year looks like a reset, not a boom.
Their forecast has Canada’s aggregate home price up about 1% by Q4 2026 (with single-family up ~2% and condos down ~2.5%).
What matters more than the national number is the spread between markets:
Some places are expected to be modestly higher (they call out cities like Montreal), while
Toronto and Vancouver are forecast to keep sliding (Royal LePage’s estimate: down ~4.5% and ~3.5% respectively).
What we'd take from this if you’re planning 2026
1) If you’re a buyer who’s been waiting, conditions may be less frantic.
More listings, less competition, and lower rates than last year can create a more workable window, especially for first-time buyers.
2) If you’re a seller, pricing and timing will be more local than ever.
Two homes can have totally different outcomes based on neighbourhood, property type, and how much inventory is sitting nearby.
3) If you’re in a condo, expectations might need a refresh.
If you’re thinking “sell in 2026,” it’s worth pressure-testing your plan early rather than assuming spring fixes everything.
P.S. If you tell us your rough timeline (even just “spring” or “fall”), we'll let you know what we're watching right now for your specific pocket of the market.
