Increasing Urban Housing Demand and Supply Constraints
The Canadian real estate market continues to experience significant growth, primarily due to the strong urban housing demand, coupled with limited supply. Major cities such as Toronto and Vancouver witness high competition for properties, driven by increased immigration, job opportunities, and population growth. For instance, according to industry reports, Toronto’s housing market recorded a 14% year-on-year increase in home sales in 2024, underscoring the heightened activity. Furthermore, the persistent demand-supply imbalance has kept property prices elevated despite broader economic challenges. The shortage of new residential developments further exacerbates affordability concerns and has prompted a shift toward vertical housing solutions, including high-rise condominiums, to maximize available space. This shift, in turn, is fostering the expansion of the real estate market in Canada.
Rising Interest in Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Properties
A notable trend in the Canadian real estate market is the growing interest in sustainable and energy-efficient properties. Both residential and commercial property buyers are increasingly seeking eco-friendly solutions that reduce energy consumption and align with environmental regulations. This trend is further supported by government initiatives promoting green building practices and offering incentives for sustainable construction and retrofitting. For instance, according to industry reports, in 2024, the Government of Canada extended the Green and Inclusive Community Building (GICB) program until 2029 and released a budget which provided USD 500 million budget increase to enhance living conditions and reduce pollution by lowering GHG emissions, boosting energy efficiency, building climate resilience, and promoting net-zero construction standards. This underscores nation’s commitment to sustainable construction and retrofitting. Moreover, developers are incorporating energy-saving technologies, such as solar panels and smart home systems, to meet this demand and differentiate their offerings. This shift reflects a broader societal move towards sustainability and positions eco-friendly properties as valuable assets that attract environmentally conscious investors and buyers.
Luxury Real Estate Resilience
The luxury real estate sector in Canada has shown remarkable resilience, even amid broader market slowdowns. High-net-worth individuals are actively investing in premium properties, particularly in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. For instance, according to industry reports, in 2024, Winnipeg witnessed a 61.9% year-over-year increase in luxury home sales during the first eight months of the year, while Toronto saw a 3.9% rise in luxury property prices. Despite increasing prices and a competitive market, demand for luxury homes, condominiums, and waterfront properties remains strong. Factors driving this robust growth include the appeal of safe-haven investments, low mortgage rates, and the nation’s strong economic stability. Additionally, Canada's reputation as a politically stable, high-quality living destination attracts international buyers. As a result, the luxury segment is expected to remain one of the most stable and profitable sectors within the Canadian real estate market.
In June 2024, EllisDon, RBC, and Mattamy Homes launched the Climate Smart Buildings Alliance (CSBA) and its Responsible Buildings Pact at the Canada Green Building Council’s conference in Toronto. The initiative is supported by 23 initial signatories which aims to cut embodied carbon in construction, targeting a potential 40% reduction in emissions. This move is set to impact the real estate market by driving sustainable building practices, potentially increasing demand for eco-friendly properties and influencing construction standards and investments across the sector.
