Why this slower market might be the right time to plan.
After a quieter year, new forecasts from TD Economics suggest Canada’s housing market could see real growth again starting in 2026.
Lower interest rates, improving job numbers, and steady demand in provinces like B.C., Ontario, and Alberta are expected to help bring more buyers back into the market. While 2025 has been a year of waiting and recalibrating, it’s also created space to prepare for what’s next.
If you’re thinking about selling, this is the time to make updates, organize your finances, or review your property’s value. If you’re hoping to buy, it’s a good moment to explore mortgage options and stay close to what’s happening locally.
Planning during a quiet stretch can make a big difference once the market picks up again.
Reach out to learn what the latest forecasts could mean for your next move.

The little perks that get homes sold faster
Buyers are more hesitant right now, but that doesn’t mean you need to lower your price.
Smart sellers are using small incentives to help buyers take that next step. Covering a few months of HOA dues, offering a home warranty, or helping buy down their rate can make your listing feel like the better deal.
We pulled together a quick breakdown of what’s working for sellers in 2025.
