Canadian Real Estate Markets Crammed Up To 15 Years of Price Gains Into One Year
Canadian real estate prices have been rising quickly, but it’s never been like this before. Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) data shows home prices made a big jump in March. Over the past 12 months, home prices increased more than they did over the previous 4 years. That’s just at the national level. More than a half-dozen Canadian markets saw prices rise more in the past year than in the decade prior.
Canadian Real Estate Prices Made One of The Largest Jumps Ever
The typical home across Canada saw prices make a record climb over the past year. The benchmark price in March is $119,700 higher than a year before. The price increase over the past 12 months was similar in size to the previous 46 months. That’s right, on average, a typical home in Canada condensed 4 years of gains into a year. That’s a typical home, not detached. That’s across Canada, not in a high-growth region.

Seven Canadian Real Estate Markets Saw Over A Decade of Gains Crammed Into One Year
Think that’s extreme? It’s not even close to the amount prices are increasing in some cities. North Bay’s increase in dollars over the past year was similar in size to the gains it made in the 15 years prior. That was the largest in the country, but it’s far from an isolated situation.
