Housing market poised for 2025 comeback as lower rates unleash pent-up demandEconomists and real estate agents believe home sales activity is poised to remain strong in 2025, thanks to much lower borrowing costs and more favourable rules for buyers.
Re/Max's 2025 housing market outlook report says it is expecting home sales to rise in 33 of 37 Canadian regions. It forecasts the national average residential price to rise by five per cent. Along with falling rates, TD economist Rishi Sondhi said the federal government's recent mortgage rule changes, which kicked in on Dec. 15, should help lift home sales and prices.
While pent-up demand should translate to more homes changing hands in the coming months, he cautions that the rush will likely be exhausted in the first half of next year.
