RBC’s latest housing report projects slow activity and softer prices in the early part of the year as the Bank of Canada maintains its policy rate at a two-decade high and home ownership stays out of reach for many potential buyers. But a pivot toward rate cuts mid-year will get the wheels turning faster over the second half or perhaps even sooner.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/gettyimages-1500766067.jpg?itok=VPWpGjSh" width="160" height="107" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">31 </span><span class="month">January </span><span class="year">2024</span></div></div></div></div></div> Wed, 31 Jan 2024 15:57:07 +0000 webfull 197419 at /channels /channels/channels/news/expert-main-federal-parties-all-say-theyll-make-housing-more-affordable-333302 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Canadian voters will be hearing a similar message from each of the major federal parties during the current election campaign: housing has grown too expensive, and we have a plan to fix it. The consensus reflects the increasingly dire state of housing in Canada, experts say, which affects everyone from prospective homeowners feeling squeezed out of the market to lower-income families languishing on waiting lists for affordable housing.

This is how Manon Wascher describes the “Airbnb nightmare” she has gone through since the apartment complex she lives in on Guy St. was sold four years ago. Wascher says there are between 30 and 50 of the building’s 230 units being rented on the popular travel website.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">11 </span><span class="month">February </span><span class="year">2020</span></div></div></div></div></div> Tue, 11 Feb 2020 17:44:49 +0000 webfull 158641 at /channels /channels/channels/news/airbnbs-impact-canadian-housing-markets-269333 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">10 </span><span class="month">August </span><span class="year">2017</span></div></div></div></div></div> Thu, 10 Aug 2017 19:00:23 +0000 webfull 129761 at /channels
