Report Finds ‘Growing Mismatch’ Between Demand and Supply in Type of Housing in Canada

Canada’s housing market is not only facing the challenges of rising prices and supply shortages, but there is also a “growing mismatch” between the housing types being built and those preferred by many Canadians, according to a new report.

The report, published by the Fraser Institute on April 13, found that real estate markets Canada-wide experienced significant price increases since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with home prices being 28 percent higher in February 2023 than in March 2020.
