📈CREA’s Jan 2026 data shows a 7.3% surge in new listings as homeowner confidence returns. While winter storms chilled sales by 5.8%, inventory rose to 4.9 months putting Canada on the edge of a balanced market. 🇨🇦

He pointed to a Royal LePage survey from September showing that about 82% of prospective first-time buyers hope to move in the next 12 to 24 months. But for buyers in a position to purchase now, waiting for a further cooldown might not be the best course of action, according to Meredith. “The question is: why wait?” he said. “With GTA [Greater Toronto Area] prices down roughly 20% from the peak, mortgage rates having dropped roughly 2%, and a healthy surplus of inventory, all signs point to an ideal entry point. “If the survey data holds true, we’re looking at a surge of activity beginning in late 2026 through 2027 that could trigger another real estate boom.”

The sidelines Cdn's saved & waited this long, they're not buying this hogwash. They're holding tight
Delusional sellers- THAT'S whose buying this crap hook line & sinker! Much to the dismay of their agents trying to get them to consider what offers did come in on their property
Re-sharing this. Don't be an investor's exit strategy.
Only buy a home you can comfortably afford (w condo/strata only one w healthy reserve funding) that you will be happy to live in for years to come. Some desperate players in the RE industry still trying to incite FOMO to get FTHB to buy #CdnRE

🇨🇦 HOUSING MARKET SLUMPS AS BUYERS WAIT FOR SPRING 🇨🇦
2025 was supposed to be the rebound year. Instead, November brought another decline in sales and prices.
Buyers remain on the sidelines, pushing hopes for a recovery into 2026.

Oh look, looks like the falling RE market has exposed yet another Canadian ponzi scheme. Is this going to be like cockroaches? See one and you know there's more behind the walls just waiting to crawl out.
#Bubble #CdnRE #Ponzi
A result of successive poor Govt policies that fuel and incentivize upzonings & deregulation for RECartel & investor speculators’ profiteering has had dire consequences. Multi-party, non- partisan, over two decades, have not changed course! #FAIL #vanre #tore #cdnre #housingcrisis #bcpoli #onpoli
57-unit apt in Scarborough TWO eviction applications over nine yrs.

#Toronto #GTA #CdnRE Toronto-area new homes market ‘flashing every possible warning light’ as industry sees worst July on record
Financially secure boomer generation seniors selling their houses en masse to embrace condo living was always a myth.
That said, RE industry is absolutely desperate to incite any type of scarcity or fomo they can. Houses aren't rare, and their prices are NOT magically immune to a RE crash! #CdnRE
Home which was brand new when purchased, could cost the owners up to 1 million to repair.
ALWAYS get a home inspection. In condo/strata, inspection AND approving condo documents. Unfortunately many people out there skipped these conditions back when RE was booming to be the "winning" offer. #CdnRE

FTHB, This is what you were competing w for homes. No, everyone else wasn't way richer than you, there was also lots of fraud.
"They were misled by the seller by being recommended into claiming to earn C$300K/year but actually making C$100K."

PLEASE lets help support Acorn in their efforts! I grew up in Peel Region and I've seen some deplorable places back then. I don't doubt for a second things are this bad for tenants in the region. #Brampton #Peel #Acorn #StandUpForTenants #CdnRE #HousingCrisis

"Alongside widespread pest issues, renters described mouldy walls, broken elevators, peeling paint and sweltering indoor temperatures — all while nearly 36.6 per cent reported receiving rent increases above the provincial guideline."
#HousingCrisis is also the rental crisis
Look at that price! $350K in TO. Affordable!
Not so fast, Affordable condos you see just might be a mirage- see reply.
NEVER skip due diligence, it's even more important w strata/condo properties. Sleuth the complex and all the documents like you're Watson & Sherlock. #CdnRE #TO #condo #strata

I'm glad some agents are seeing the value in telling sellers to LEAVE adaptive features instead on removing them to sell a property. #disabilities #adaptivefeatures

1/3 Remember the ON RE investors flaunting lavish lifestyles, inc one former YTV actor? Bought hundreds of properties in small Ontario communities where many sat rundown, vacant, behind on taxes & utilities.
"To avoid flooding the market, new listings are added as others are sold."

"She’d hoped the move would bring a better financial return but barely broken even – and felt a loss of control as the condo board took over maintenance decisions."
