Understanding the Real Estate Market When Selling Your Home

After sitting on the sidelines waiting out the market, you have decided on selling your home. You are not alone. This past fall, a NerdWallet study found that a fifth of homeowners plan to sell their homes in the next three years, and 41 percent intend to list their homes in the next five years.

If they plan to follow through on these plans, this could mean an injection of supply in a tight Canadian real estate market, which could help improve the housing affordability situation.

For now, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), home prices are up, demand is robust, and mortgage rates look more likely to have peaked at around the five percent mark. At the same time, not all housing markets are created equal.

How Do Tariffs Impact Housing in Canada?

The tariff tumult has rocked the global economy from North America to Asia. Canada, a critical trading partner for the United States, is stuck in the crosshairs of the new administration’s trade agenda – and the country could endure a shellacking the longer the trade dispute lingers.

During the April 2 “Make America Wealthy Again” speech, President Donald Trump announced a universal baseline tariff of ten percent and higher reciprocal tariffs, which have since been paused. Many Canadians were pleased that the nation was omitted from either list, particularly because Canada was subjected to the previous tariff regimes on automobiles, aluminum, and steel.

Indeed, Canada is not out of the woods just yet, and Ottawa’s recent actions signal that conditions could remain tense in the coming weeks or months.

Suffice it to say that the global levies announced by President Donald Trump are likely to impact Canada’s housing and mortgage sector significantly. The tariffs can affect construction costs, mortgage rates, and housing affordability for the average Canadian.

According to a research note by RBC Economics, Canada imported approximately $7.5 billion worth of steel and $9.4 billion worth of aluminum products from the United States last year. Canada accounts for nearly one-fifth of U.S. steel imports and about half of aluminum imports. Even HVAC unit and appliance costs are likely to increase since they are often assembled in the United States and brought to Canada.
