At LB Realty Group, we’ve always believed that a stable home is the foundation for strong families and thriving communities. Recent data shows Canada needs between 417,000 and 469,000 new housing starts each year to bring affordability back to where it was before the pandemic by 2036—a supply gap that hasn’t budged. While more rental units are entering the market, we’re seeing ownership housing starts drop off, which raises concerns for families hoping to put down roots. Slower population growth has offered some relief, but with construction activity slowing even faster than demand, there’s a risk we’ll fall behind just as the market heats up again. That’s why it’s so important, especially for those aiming to own their homes, to keep building momentum in ownership construction now. Our family’s approach is about more than transactions—it’s about helping you find a place to truly belong, today and for years to come.
