Is Canada’s Housing Slowdown About to Reverse Soon?

National housing activity opened 2026 with sales sliding sharply and new listings rising.

Yet, CREA forecasts ~494,500 home sales in 2026 — a modest ~5% rebound.

TD Economics sees only a muted recovery, not a dramatic rebound.

Balance of risk & reward: Slowing demand + cautious buyers may delay full recovery until late 2026.
