ABOUT

The Canadian housing sector, including apartments, has been facing challenges over the past several years. Has the sector turned the corner?

Home prices have decreased parsimoniously in Canada in ’25, while mortgage payment arrears are picking up and the condo sector continues to show signs of weakness. In parallel, Canadian apartment completions have consistently increased over the past 10 years, underpinning a cautious outlook for the sector for ’26, while improvements could become more visible in ’27. That said, affordability issues are still very present across the residential spectrum.

Join Green Street’s Canadian experts as they dive into the specificities of the Canadian housing sector to identify the factors market participants should consider in the present environment. Our team will be joined by Mr. Aled ab Iorwerth, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC. Aled joined CMHC in 2016 with a PhD in Economics from Western University and master’s degrees in European and International Relations (from University of Amsterdam) and Economics (from Carleton University).
