Recent data points to a concerning trend: while Canada has seen some improvements in affordability, these gains are on shaky ground due to a slowdown in new home construction, particularly for ownership properties. To truly restore affordability to pre-pandemic standards by 2036, experts say we need between 417,000 and 469,000 housing starts each year\u2014yet the supply gap remains stubbornly persistent.<\/p>\n<p>In our major markets, we\u2019re seeing most of the new additions coming from rentals, while ownership-oriented construction has tapered off. Even though more rentals help balance things out, it\u2019s not enough to close the gap for future homeowners. Slower population growth has provided a bit of breathing room, but since construction has decelerated even faster than demand, there\u2019s a real risk of falling behind once the market picks up again.<\/p>\n<p>For those considering buying, investing, or making a move, this underlines the importance of keeping ownership construction strong today. It\u2019s a crucial step to ensure that when demand rises, we\u2019re not left with an even deeper shortage. My experience in residential, commercial, and property management means I\u2019m always looking at the bigger picture\u2014supporting clients in navigating these shifts and finding solutions tailored to their goals.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone deeply involved in Calgary&#039;s real estate landscape, I pay close attention to the factors shaping our market\u2019s future\u2014especially housing affordability.
