Ontario’s housing market can expect steady growth next year, driven by the lower unemployment rates, strong economic growth, and improved overall affordability, according to the latest housing market outlook by RE/MAX.
The residential sale price across the province is likely to grow by 6% on average next year, with cities like Windsor and Ottawa showing the most significant gain potential.
Ottawa’s new LRT system could spur further gains in the region, while Windsor’s affordability will likely attract more young professionals looking for homes.
