Canada's housing affordability 'crisis' spreads, but this city is still a bright spot, says CMHC

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. reports slight improvement in home ownership affordability since 2023, while renter conditions have stabilized across seven major Canadian cities.

  • A new analysis from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. shows housing affordability challenges have eased in recent years but still remain at historic highs.
  • Affordability issues are no longer limited to Toronto and Vancouver, and have spread to other major cities like Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax.
  • CMHC says its newly released housing affordability composite index provides a more comprehensive picture of affordability and looks at factors like incomes keeping up with housing costs, supply meeting demand, and households having income leftover after paying essentials.
