What’s Next for the Housing Market?
Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) updated its forecast for the remainder of 2021 and 2022, saying that while sales, from a historical standpoint, will continue to slow, activity will still be very strong. CREA calls for a record 682,900 home sales in 2021 – an increase of 23.8% from 2020, before dipping -13% in 2022 (which would still be the second-highest year ever). Home prices will continue to rise by 19.3% next year, reflecting a continued supply and demand imbalance, before levelling out by 0.6% in 2022 to an average of $681,000.CREA expects immigration and migration to strongly pick back up once lockdowns end, which will also have an impact on the market.While conditions won’t be as crazy as they were during the pandemic’s peak, historically strong demand and too-little supply will continue to make it a challenging market for would-be buyers this year and next.
