🏠 ¿Los jóvenes de Toronto todavía quieren comprar casa?

NOW Toronto habló con residentes jóvenes sobre la realidad de comprar vivienda en la ciudad. El mensaje fue bastante consistente: el deseo de ser propietario sigue ahí, pero para muchos se siente cada vez más difícil de alcanzar.

Uno de los entrevistados considera que comprar con un ingreso promedio está fuera del alcance de muchas personas, aunque él continúa ahorrando y utilizando herramientas como el First Home Savings Account (FHSA).

Otra residente explicó que, por ahora, prefiere alquilar y valora la estabilidad que le brinda el control de alquiler, pero considera que comprar por su cuenta no es una opción realista actualmente.

Otro joven destacó que ser propietario sigue representando estabilidad y la posibilidad de construir un futuro y formar una familia en Toronto, aunque los precios actuales hacen que esa meta parezca difícil.

📊 El contexto financiero también pesa: según datos de Vividata citados por NOW Toronto, 49% de los canadienses viven de cheque en cheque.

🏠 Do young Torontonians still want to own a home?

NOW Toronto spoke with young residents who say the dream of homeownership is still alive — but affordability is making it increasingly difficult.

Some are continuing to save and use programs like the FHSA, while others are comfortable renting for now but worry about whether ownership will ever become attainable.

For many, buying a home still represents long-term stability. The challenge is finding a realistic path to get there.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports that Canada’s annual pace of housing starts rose sharply in April, climbing 17% from March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 279,317 units. The increase was supported largely by stronger construction activity in Ontario and British Columbia, contributing to a 6% rise in year-to-date housing starts compared with the same period last year. While the six-month moving average also moved higher, actual housing starts in larger urban centres were slightly below April 2025 levels, highlighting that construction activity remains uneven across the country. The latest data suggests developers are still pushing forward with new projects despite ongoing affordability concerns, slowing home sales, and broader uncertainty in the housing market.

Toronto’s revamped BMO Field got its biggest FIFA World Cup test run yet as nearly 45,000 fans packed the stadium to watch Lionel Messi and Inter Miami take on Toronto FC ahead of next month’s World Cup matches. The sold-out event showcased the stadium’s major upgrades, including 17,000 temporary seats added for the tournament, with many fans praising the atmosphere, skyline views, and “real stadium” feel created by the expanded venue. While most attendees were impressed with the experience and the stability of the towering new stands, some reported longer-than-usual lines, difficult navigation around construction areas, heavy downtown traffic, and obstructed views caused by newly installed video screens. Overall, the match acted as a large-scale rehearsal for Toronto’s upcoming FIFA World Cup hosting duties, giving organizers valuable insight into crowd flow, transportation, and stadium operations before the global tournament officially begins.

Canada’s rental market continues to cool overall, with average asking rents falling 4.7% year-over-year in April to $2,027, marking the 19th consecutive month of annual declines, according to a report from Urbanation and Rentals.ca. In Toronto, one-bedroom rents dropped 4.7% while two-bedroom units declined 2.1%, reflecting increased supply and softer demand as more investor-owned condos enter the rental market after struggling to sell. However, larger family-sized units are moving in the opposite direction, with three-bedroom rents rising 2.3% year-over-year due to a severe shortage of larger and more affordable housing options. Experts say most new supply has focused on studios and smaller units, leaving families competing for limited larger rentals. Despite recent declines, Ontario remains one of Canada’s most expensive rental markets, and average rents are still significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels, highlighting ongoing affordability challenges even as the market gradually softens.

Many Canadian retirees are putting their downsizing plans on hold as softer home prices, limited housing options, and rising living costs make selling less appealing in today’s market. According to industry experts and survey data from RE/MAX Canada, a growing number of seniors are choosing to remain in larger homes because they cannot find smaller properties that suit their lifestyle needs, particularly as many newer condos were designed for investors rather than long-term living. Financial concerns are also playing a major role, with some retirees worried that falling property values could reduce the equity they planned to rely on in retirement, while Realtor fees, land transfer taxes, renovations, and moving costs can consume a significant portion of sale proceeds. Many older Canadians are also helping support younger family members through ongoing affordability challenges, further delaying retirement and relocation decisions. While experts believe a larger downsizing wave will eventually emerge as Canada’s population ages, many retirees currently feel that selling simply isn’t worth it in the current market environment.

After a cautious and uneven 2025, Canada’s housing market is expected to recover gradually in 2026 and strengthen further in 2027, driven largely by pent-up demand, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Higher interest rates and economic uncertainty—especially around U.S. tariff threats—kept buyers sidelined longer than expected, but a mid-2025 rebound in sales offered an early signal of renewed momentum. CREA points to improving sentiment among first-time homebuyers, who have endured four years of worsening affordability and may now re-enter the market after the Bank of Canada signalled in October 2025 that rates were likely near their floor, with the policy rate currently at 2.25%. Nationally, CREA forecasts 494,512 home sales in 2026 (+5.1%) and 511,966 in 2027 (+3.5%), with the strongest rebounds expected in Ontario and British Columbia, where sales fell the most during the slowdown. Other regions, including the Prairies, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada, are projected to see steadier but more modest gains. On prices, CREA expects a measured increase, with the national average rising 2.8% in 2026 and 2.3% in 2027, keeping prices near the $700,000 mark and well below the rapid growth rates seen earlier this decade. Overall, the forecast suggests a slow, confidence-driven recovery, led by end-users rather than investors, pointing to a housing market that is stabilizing rather than overheating.

New condo apartment sales in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area plunged to just 1,599 units in 2025 — the lowest level in 35 years, according to a new report from Urbanation, marking the fourth consecutive annual decline and a collapse of 91 per cent below the 10-year average. Sales were down 60 per cent from 2024 and 95 per cent compared to the 2021 peak, with no improvement seen in the fourth quarter, which recorded the weakest quarterly sales since 1990. Developers responded by cancelling a record 28 projects totaling 7,243 units, more than double last year’s cancellations, while launching only 10 new condo projects in all of 2025. As investors moved to the sidelines and more buyers failed to close, developers took back roughly 10 per cent of pre-sold units, pushing completed and unsold inventory to a record high of nearly 4,000 units. While some cancelled projects shifted to purpose-built rentals, condo starts fell to multidecade lows, raising concerns that today’s slowdown could trigger a severe new-condo supply shortage later this decade, with deliveries expected to drop sharply after 2026 and nearly vanish by 2029.

The City of Toronto will increase funding for its rent bank program by $2.6 million in 2026, a 30 per cent boost that brings the total budget to $10.8 million, Mayor Olivia Chow announced. The rent bank provides no-interest loans to eligible residents who are at risk of eviction, helping them cover rent arrears or rental deposits so they can remain housed while their finances stabilize. According to Chow, the additional funding will allow the city to prevent more than 3,000 households from facing eviction or homelessness, supporting roughly 600 more households in 2026 than in 2025. The increase comes amid ongoing affordability pressures and reflects the city’s broader focus on preventative housing supports as part of its 2026 budget.
