Housing costs in Canada have reached crisis levels — and Canadians feel it every day. Whether you’re a young family hoping to buy your first home, a newcomer trying to settle, or a long-time renter watching prices climb faster than wages, affordability is slipping out of reach in many cities. Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, and even mid-sized cities continue to see record price increases, leaving many asking a simple question: Why is housing still so expensive, even though Canada keeps building more homes?
The answer, as new research shows, is more complex than “just build more.” And it reveals a powerful opportunity for change.
What’s Really Driving the Affordability Problem?
According to the study, Canada isn’t actually behind in construction — in fact, we invest more in housing per person than many advanced economies. Yet prices continue to rise because new supply is concentrated almost entirely in a few major cities. When Toronto or Vancouver builds more homes, people from smaller cities migrate there, drawn by jobs, infrastructure, and amenities. The result? Big cities grow even bigger, demand intensifies, and affordability worsens.
Meanwhile, Canada’s smaller and mid-sized cities — the places with room to grow — aren’t scaling fast enough to become truly competitive alternatives. Until they do, housing pressure will remain concentrated in a small number of “superstar cities.”
Real affordability requires more than new units.
It requires more attractive, better-equipped, strategically developed cities across Canada.
