The Relentless Climb in Home Values: What It Means for Buyers and Sellers
The surge in home values shows no sign of slowing down, reaffirming earlier statements from the Bank of Canada suggesting that housing prices may remain resilient. For many Canadians, the prospect of taking on significant mortgage debt feels daunting, yet the relentless growth in prices continues to shape the real estate landscape.
To sustain this market activity, money printing marches on, fueling concerns about affordability—not just in real estate but across daily necessities. Case in point: the price of a single medium potato now exceeds $1.50. If that’s the price of potatoes today, what does that say about the future cost of housing?
