The scale of Canada’s housing shortage is coming into sharp focus: our national housing agency now estimates we’ll need 417,000 to 469,000 new homes each year through 2036 to regain the affordability we knew before the pandemic. Yet, with construction expected to slow even as demand holds steady, the country is on track to fall short by 187,000 to 238,000 homes annually over the next decade. Most of the current building activity is already tied up in ongoing projects, making it clear that we’d need to double our construction pace just to keep up with the need. As someone deeply invested in West Toronto real estate, I see firsthand how these numbers translate into real challenges for buyers, sellers, and renters. My background in construction and negotiation helps me guide clients through these complexities, bringing clarity and confidence to every move. The path to true affordability is steep, but with the right knowledge and strategy, we can navigate this evolving landscape together.
