Re\/Max Canada says it expects national home sales to increase 3.4% next year, as it sees \u201clight at the end of the tunnel\u201d following declines in 2025.<\/p>\n
Its 2026 housing market outlook report says one-in-10 Canadians plan to buy a home in the next 12 months, half of whom for the first time, while one-quarter say they believe the market in their region will become more affordable.<\/p>\n
The report says home sales fell year-over-year in 32 of 38 markets analyzed between January and October.<\/p>\n
But inventory has grown as new listings increased year-over-year across all regions, including a 21% increase in Ontario.<\/p>\n
Re\/Max says this has helped lead to balanced conditions that should entice buyers, with average prices expected to fall 3.7% in 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmid looming economic clouds, Canadians are maintaining their interest in home ownership,\u201d said Re\/Max Canada president Don Kottick in a news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe resilience that began to emerge in the fall is anticipated to continue into 2026, with first-time buyers in particular finding creative ways to save and enter the market.\u201d<\/p>\n
