Currently, we\u2019re seeing around 250,000 new homes built each year\u2014well below the 400,000 to 470,000 homes experts say are needed annually to restore affordability and address the existing backlog. Over the past decade, our population has grown much faster than our housing supply, leading to a gap that can\u2019t be closed overnight, even with a surge in new construction. It\u2019s no wonder that about 80% of Canadians feel the housing system isn\u2019t working, and roughly 75% believe too few homes are being built. In my work throughout West Toronto, I see firsthand how these numbers play out in real people\u2019s lives\u2014families searching longer, buyers feeling squeezed, and renters facing limited options. While policy and market shifts are on the horizon, pent-up demand is likely to resurface when consumer confidence returns, keeping housing front and center in Canada\u2019s political landscape. Navigating these challenges takes more than market knowledge\u2014it requires experience in construction, negotiation, and a commitment to guiding you through every step. My goal remains to help you make informed decisions and to provide peace of mind, no matter the climate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite some recent improvements in affordability, Canada is still not building homes at the pace needed to keep up with demand.
