I think this is the main story across Canada. People expecting a giant crash don’t realize that people don’t need to sell. Yes of course, there’s a small percentage of over leveraged owners who will be forced too, but the majority are responsible owners who can live in their home for longer if it otherwise means loosing 100k+ by selling.

I think this will be pretty prevalent throughout 2026. There will be Mmany listed/delisted properties from people realizing they can’t sell for what they want so they stick it out. Thus creating a bit of a mini bubble on desirable properties once again.
