As we look ahead to Fall 2026, Canada’s housing supply story remains complex—especially here in Vancouver. Most major cities are still facing a persistent housing gap, with the notable exceptions of Calgary and Edmonton. We’re seeing that construction activity is tapering off even faster than demand, which could put additional pressure on affordability for both buyers and renters. While rental housing currently leads the way in new supply, the slowdown in condo starts means fewer ownership opportunities coming to market. For those of us advising families and investors—whether local, new to Canada, or coming from abroad—this underscores the importance of staying informed and adaptable. Addressing the supply shortage will require not just more housing starts, but real investment in infrastructure as well.
