While we’re seeing early signs of a housing market recovery in Canada—resales picking up, inventory stabilizing, and price declines slowing—the numbers tell a more measured story for the years ahead. The recent bank projections indicate that in 2026, home resales may dip by around 4% to 453,200, with benchmark prices easing by about 2% to $794,200, even as the recent trend feels encouraging. Looking ahead to 2027, the outlook is for resales to climb 7% to 483,600 and values to nudge up less than 1%, reaching $800,700. It’s a recovery, but not the kind of boom that draws headlines or stirs up bidding wars across the country.

One important factor is pent-up demand: the bank estimates that over 400,000 Canadian households haven’t formed since 2019, as people put their plans on hold. Affordability, steady growth, and renewed confidence will be key, though with rates likely having bottomed out and ongoing trade tensions, the path ahead may still have its challenges.

For those navigating these shifts—whether you’re buying your first house, upsizing, or preparing for retirement—it’s more important than ever to have honest, straightforward advice and a partner who genuinely cares about your next move. My approach is about respect, integrity, and guiding wonderful people to great homes, whatever the market brings.

Big news for Hamilton homeowners and future residents: the city is now eligible for up to $572 million in funding after agreeing to eliminate residential development charges between March 30, 2026, and March 31, 2029. This decision could lower construction costs by as much as $100,400 per home and help unlock more than 31,000 units across Hamilton. The funding may go towards important improvements—like expanding the water and wastewater treatment plant, upgrading a pumping station, and enhancing key roads such as Rymal. As someone who’s walked alongside clients through buying, selling, and downsizing, I know how much these changes matter to families looking for their next place to call home. Even projects like the proposed 812-unit redevelopment on Rymal Rd. E. could feel the impact, especially with road widening helping construction move forward. While Hamilton’s allocation still depends on government agreements and project approvals, it’s promising to see steps being taken that could make a real difference for our community and open more doors for those hoping to find their perfect home.
