Join real estate analyst Daniel Foch for the latest Monthly Market Call, presented in partnership with Real Estate Magazine. In this wide-ranging, data-driven session, Daniel breaks down the latest policy shifts and market dynamics shaping Canada’s housing market, from new HST relief and developer incentives to rental supply, pricing pressure and shifting demand.
This month’s discussion includes:
– Federal and provincial governments remove GST/HST on new builds, expanding incentives beyond first-time buyers
– The policy is designed as a one-year window to stimulate demand during what could be the worst year for housing starts and completions
– Thousands of unsold condo units may be absorbed by developers or institutional buyers and converted into rental supply
– New incentives and inventory dynamics are likely to put downward pressure on rents across Ontario and eventually nationally
– Resale home prices face deflationary pressure as new builds become more competitive on price
– Pre-construction activity may see a short-term surge as buyers and developers act within the limited incentive window
– Construction slowdown and rising unemployment in the sector are key drivers behind aggressive policy intervention
– Population growth is slowing sharply, with fewer international students and reduced rental demand
– Multiplex and small-scale rental development continue to emerge as a major opportunity for investors and builders
– Investor demand for condos remains weak, with better returns still found in purpose-built rental and multi-unit projects
Whether you’re a real estate agent, broker, investor, developer or market-watcher, this episode delivers timely insights to help you understand policy impacts, identify emerging opportunities, and navigate a rapidly shifting housing market.
