While other Canadian provinces have seen housing prices climb since the pandemic, Ontario’s market has experienced a significant correction. A recent article in thestar.com explores the factors behind this divergence, highlighting a 20%+ price drop in Ontario since the February 2022 peak, in stark contrast to Nova Scotia’s 93% increase over a similar period. The article points to the GTA’s reliance on condo investors, high construction costs, and vulnerability to the U.S. trade war as key contributors. Government interventions, including an $8.8 billion fund to reduce development charges, aim to stimulate the market.
