The Housing and Mortgage Market Review: December 2023 A coast-to-coast review of current housing trends

Dec 21

2023

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX:  The following is the fourth quarterly 2023 national review on key market findings: Inflation holds at 3.1%, but rate cuts are still expected in 2024 

Highlights on what is driving the housing and mortgage market:

  • Inflation comes in higher than expected: November inflation came in higher than expected at an annualized reading of 3.1%, but markets still see rate cuts in 2024
  • Housing supply challenges intensify: Housing starts slid 22% in November, highlighting the long-term challenges Canada faces in addressing the housing supply shortage
  • Mortgage rates are falling: Discounted mortgage rates have fallen from their October highs, which should lead to incrementally stronger mortgage demand in the coming months
