Housing Market 2022. According to RE\/MAX, steady growth is anticipated across the Canadian real estate landscape into 2022. While Canadians continue to recognize the value and investment potential of their home, market challenges (such as rising prices and limited supply) maintain their impact on local markets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0It is estimated that Canada will witness an approximate 9.2% increase in average housing prices across the country as a result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
One of the key trends we see continue from 2021 into 2022 is inter-provincial migration occurring in many regions as a result of supply and affordability of homes across Canada. Individuals are also looking for larger homes with more space for growing families. While there is potential for the real estate conditions to continue to shift, 49% of respondents view Canadian real estate as a top investment option and believe the market will remain steady throughout 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a result, these areas will continue to have a downward pull on housing prices due to reduced affordability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alberta & Saskatchewan: Currently considered \u201cundervalued\u201d housing markets, they are likely to do better despite weaker economics as they have retained better affordability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Manitoba: Lifestyle shifts, such as hybrid working environments and younger couples enjoying the freedom to work from home, predicts that Winnipeg will continue to be a seller’s market through 2022 with high demand for one- and two-story detached homes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
