Housing Market Outlook For Fall 2021

Based on the available data, RE/MAX's housing market outlook for fall 2021 predicts a 5% average increase in home prices across the country. Of the 29 major Canadian regions, 26 of them are classified as sellers' markets - due in large part to a lack of supply relative to demand. However, despite the ongoing threat of COVID-19's Delta variant, market activity throughout the rest of the fall is expected to continue seeing steady growth. Additionally, single-family homes have seen the largest price gains of any housing type from 2020 to 2021, with a 6.8% to 27.3% increase across major markets.
