Key Points

  • Mortgage delinquency rates in Ontario have surged, with over three thousand mortgages classified as severely delinquent, totaling over one billion dollars in unpaid payments.
  • Economic challenges are causing young adults to stay with their parents longer, with nearly one-third of Canadian households now multi-generational, a trend more pronounced in Ontario.
  • The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) has experienced its first membership decline since 2016, driven by unfavorable market conditions, increased membership fees, and evolving industry standards.
