The Canadian housing market is set for a recovery, with home prices predicted to rise in the coming years, according to a Reuters poll of property analysts. Despite a 15% dip in prices since March 2020, when they had risen by over 50% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, strong demand and the belief that interest rates have peaked have staved off any significant declines. Analysts predicted a 9% fall in average home prices this year, followed by a 2% and 4% rise in 2024 and 2025 respectively as supply fails to keep up with rising demand. With immigration rates growing, affordability may remain a concern. Nevertheless, sellers are reportedly back in the driving seat, with buyers regaining confidence. The Bank of Canada is expected to hold its current interest rate throughout 2022.
