Fall housing update: A quiet season across most of Canada
RBC’s latest housing analysis shows that the fall market has stayed relatively subdued across much of Canada. Even with interest rates easing and confidence improving, buyers and sellers are still moving carefully.
Early October data shows mixed results across regions.
- Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Calgary, Saskatoon, and Montreal saw small increases in sales from September.
- Toronto, Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg posted modest declines.
In most provinces, inventory has grown, giving buyers more negotiating power and putting mild downward pressure on prices—especially in Ontario and British Columbia.
Toronto continues to see slow movement. Resales remain about 25% below pre-pandemic levels, and prices are roughly 5% lower than a year ago. RBC attributes this to economic uncertainty, a softer labour market, and reduced urgency among buyers who have more listings to choose from.
Montreal stands out as an exception, with sales up about 5% month over month. Limited supply is creating competition, and single-family homes have seen a 7.3% annual price gain.
In Vancouver, resales ticked up slightly in October but remain weak compared to earlier years. Abundant inventory and poor affordability continue to restrain activity, with prices down about 3.4% year over year.
Calgary remains one of the country’s more balanced markets. Resales are more than 40% above pre-pandemic norms, even as prices ease about 4% annually. A record number of homes under construction is expanding supply and giving buyers more leverage.
Across the country, RBC expects these regional patterns to persist through early 2026. A gradual recovery is anticipated as job growth and economic momentum improve, but affordability will remain the key factor shaping demand.
For Canadians considering a move, this period offers a chance to study local conditions closely. Each market is moving at its own pace, and understanding where opportunities are emerging will matter more than chasing national headlines.

ALL ABOUT THE STATS
Could it be shaping up to be a busier winter market than usual? 
With residential sales up more than 14% across all home types, the Bank of Canada easing its overnight lending rate, and single-family homes spending less time on the market, signs are pointing to steady buyer confidence heading into the cooler months.For sellers, that means now is the time to get market ready. If you’ve been thinking about listing, start with the basics, fresh marketing, small updates that make a big impact, and a clear strategy for timing and pricing. Even simple prep work now can help your home stand out when buyers are looking for move-in-ready options through the holidays and early 2026.
Every home (and every seller) is different, and that’s where we come in. Our team can help you decide what’s worth doing, what to skip, and how to position your home for the strongest results in today’s shifting market.
