Canadian housing starts fell 6% in March, CMHC says https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-canadian-housing-starts-march-2026/
Either-Banana-7323 on April 18, 2026 8:52 pm Was naturally going to happen with demand crashing. Folks arent even closing on the pre sales they put payments down on cuz prices crashed so much lol
Saisinko on April 18, 2026 8:58 pm A lot of projects were converted to rental so it’s much worse than it seems.
MrEvilFox on April 18, 2026 8:59 pm So long as prices keep falling this will keep happening. Nobody wants to piss into the wind.
Nerevarine123 on April 18, 2026 9:19 pm Its a really good time to be a landlord. I would recommend everyone with excess cash to buy rental properties, this is a once in a lifetime chance at a massive wealth increase
WiseDebt7345 on April 18, 2026 9:31 pm No new money is coming into the real estate market anymore. New buyers are nonexistent.
DukeandKate on April 18, 2026 9:46 pm Builders aren’t building because demand has plummeted (consumer anxiety, fewer immigrants) and prices of existing homes are dropping. The market is correcting itself as it always has.
donkeypunchz on April 18, 2026 10:32 pm There are 6200k plus homes for sale in my area. We don’t need more homes we need less people

This must be the “war-time effort” Carney was talking about.
