Key Points
- Proposed immigration cuts by the Canadian federal government aim to address the housing shortage, but the Parliamentary Budget Officer is skeptical about the projected impact.
- The Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates that Canada needs to build an additional 1.2 million homes by 2030 to close the housing gap, with the revised immigration plan expected to reduce this gap by 534,000 units.
- In the Greater Toronto Area, high borrowing costs have led to a decrease in condo sales and an increase in available listings, providing more options and negotiating power for buyers.
