NBC Housing Market Monitor: Home sales remained flat in November
Home sales remained relatively flat (-0.6%) from October to November at the national level following a marginal 0.9% gain the previous month.
New listings declined by 1.6% from October to November, a third consecutive decline.
Active listings edged down by 0.6% in November as cancelled listings remained elevated despite a moderation in the previous months.
Market conditions remained unchanged during the month and continued to indicate a balanced market compared to the historical average. Still, the balanced market conditions at the national level largely reflect soft conditions in Ontario and B.C., while markets in all other provinces continue to favour sellers.
Housing starts rose by 21.8K from 232.2K in October to 254.1K in November (seasonally adjusted and annualized). This increase offsets some of the 48.4K decline seen in October and brings starts above consensus expectation of 250.0K. Increases in housing starts were seen in Toronto (+7.0K to 23.7K), Montreal (+5.4K to 39.1K), and Vancouver (+9.1K to 28.5K), while Calgary (-6.8K to 29.2K) registered a decline.
The TeranetNational Bank Composite National House Price Index rose 0.4% between October and November after seasonal adjustment, marking a fourth consecutive increase for this indicator. Six of the eleven CMAs included in the index recorded increases: Halifax (+1.3%), Montreal (+1.2%), Toronto (+0.6%), Calgary (+0.3%), Victoria (+0.2%) and Vancouver (+0.1%). Prices remained stable in Hamilton and Winnipeg, while they declined in Quebec City (-0.2%), Edmonton (-0.4%) and Ottawa-Gatineau (-0.7%).

CREA: Canadian Home Sales Holding Steady Heading into 2026
The number of home sales recorded over Canadian MLS Systems declined 0.6% on a month-over-month basis in November 2025, still well above April levels but mostly unchanged since July.
At this point its looking like the mid-year rally in housing demand has veered into more of a holding pattern heading into 2026, coupled with what looks like some price concessions in November in order to get deals done before the end of the year, said Shaun Cathcart, CREAs Senior Economist. That said, the Bank of Canadas clear signal that rates are now about as good as theyre likely going to get is the green light many fixed-rate borrowers have no doubt been waiting for, so we remain of the view that activity will continue to pick up next year.
November Highlights:
National home sales declined 0.6% month-over-month.
Actual (not seasonally adjusted) monthly activity came in 10.7% below November 2024.
The number of newly listed properties declined 1.6% on a month-over-month basis.
The MLS Home Price Index (HPI) dipped 0.4% month-over-month and was down 3.7% on a year-over-year basis.
The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average sale price was down 2% on a year-over-year basis.
New supply declined 1.6% month-over-month in November. Combined with a smaller decrease in sales activity, the sales-to-new listings ratio tightened to 52.7% compared to 52.2% in October. The long-term average for the national sales-to-new listings ratio is 54.9%, with readings roughly between 45% and 65% generally consistent with balanced housing market conditions.

TD Canadian Quarterly Economic Forecast: As The World Turns
From TD Economics
Global growth has stood up to trade turmoil better than many feared earlier this year. Even with momentum expected to slow in 2026, it will be to a lesser extent than we expected three months ago.
In contrast, the U.S. economy is forecast to gain a step as Fed rate cuts, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and regulatory changes provide a tailwind.
Canada is also an economy of contrasts. Government initiatives to boost investment are likely to meet some resistance with 2026s CUSMA review. The Bank of Canada has done its part, with government spending set to play an increasing role.
As the world turns the page on 2025, key global growth players are on track to meet or exceed our forecasts from earlier this year, despite the disruption from U.S. trade policy. For a variety of reasons tariffs have not proven as punitive compared to the announced tariff rates, and interest rate cuts by global central banks provided a needed tailwind (see report). Looking ahead, the same story will unfold, but a further downshift is likely as most major central banks have reached the end of rate-cutting cycles and must now ensure balanced policy against stable inflation. And while government deficits are expanding in many economies, this is not a universal theme. Some face pressures to consolidate, minimizing the global fiscal impulse next year.
China was among the forecast outperformers, albeit investment is now weakening. This most recent bump in the road will firm the resolve of authorities to prop up the economy through policy support next year. Meanwhile, governments in the eurozone are expected to ramp up spending, particularly on defense. However, it will take time for major countries to follow through on their announcements, with that fiscal impulse becoming more evident in the second half of 2026.
