Real estate transactions in November gave the first hints that Canada\u2019s housing markets finally kicked into gear this fall\u2014though not everywhere\u2014with most areas still lagging fall 2024 by a mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Montreal saw home resales increase in November from October, in some cases by more than 5%. It was a notable for several markets following muted activity earlier in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto and Hamilton, on the other hand, experienced further declines\u2014highlighting economic challenges facing southern Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest market results didn\u2019t show any deviation from recent price trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abundantly supplied markets such as Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto continue to see falling home values as buyers hold strong bargaining positions. Prices in parts of the Prairies and Quebec maintained solid gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We anticipate these diverging trends will persist for the rest of the year, and potentially into early 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a broader recovery should gradually emerge as economic momentum builds, and labour market conditions improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Toronto area: Momentum has stalled<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

November results in Toronto confirm the picture that has emerged over the previous three months: Home resales have stalled, inventory is abundant, sellers face strong competition, and prices are drifting lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity is still close to 25% below pre-pandemic norms despite a marginal 0.6% increase in sales from October (seasonally adjusted). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The composite MLS Home Price Index continues to decline between 5% and 6% from a year ago\u2014the case since spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sluggish demand likely reflects a combination of factors including tariff-related economic uncertainty, grimmer job prospects, lower immigration and little urgency to strike deals when inventory is high, and prices are declining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think interest rate cuts this fall will draw buyers from the sidelines, but any recovery is likely to be spotty with poor affordability still a big obstacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many homes for sale compared to demand is weighing on values. We expect this to continue in the coming months with condo prices facing the strongest downtrend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Montreal area: On a gradual recovery course<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The slow, gradual ramp-up in the Montreal area continued last month despite fewer sellers putting properties on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We estimate home resales edged up about 1% seasonally adjusted in November from October. This provided further evidence the summer lull was just a blip in the broader recovery taking place since 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low and stable inventory, and tight new supply compared to demand are compelling buyers to bid more aggressively, fuelling moderate price gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single-detached homes see the most in value with the median price rising 5.8% in the past year. Condo prices have been flat amid growing supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We expect further gradual recovery as lower interest rates, and rebuilding confidence drive up demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver area: Still quiet but confidence could be rebuilding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tentative signs of renewed confidence have emerged in the Vancouver area in the past couple of months. Home resales increased in October and November\u2014the latest advance exceeding 4% seasonally adjusted by our calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, activity remains broadly quiet with resales still more than 15% below the 10-year average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers\u2019 ongoing struggles with poor affordability are keeping many on the sidelines. Lower interest rates and price declines in the past year and a half have only partly restored their capacity to purchase a home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least, buyers have the most options to choose from in more than a decade. A doubling in homes for sale since 2022 gives buyers more time to decide, and strengthens their price negotiating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home values have been declining mildly since the start of this year with November\u2019s MLS HPI down 3.9% from a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We expect high inventory, and low affordability will drive prices down further in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Calgary: Falling prices sweeten buyers\u2019 options<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Calgary could be breaking out of its summer lull. We estimate home resales jumped more than 5% from October to the highest level since January seasonally adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This occurred despite new listings falling in both October and November, suggesting buyers have been picking from (plentiful) existing inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declining prices, no doubt, has sweetened the options. The area\u2019s composite MLS HPI benchmark is down 4.6% (or $27,200) from a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We expect home values to continue easing in the short term as more supply makes its way to the market. Many will be newly constructed homes with builders currently working on a record 26,500 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A historic ramp-up in homebuilding since 2022 has significantly contributed to homes for sale reaching a seven-year high lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
