Canadian housing markets are feeling the impact of the U.S. trade war and ongoing higher oil prices, contributing to a slowdown in many markets in 2026.
After suggesting a mid-year recovery had begun, national housing activity cooled in August 2026, with average home sales down 6.9% year over year. Most markets showed a downward sales trend this month, ranging from -31.8% in the Northwest Territories (NWT) to -2.1% in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Centres posting sales gains ranged from +19.1 in the Yukon to +6.3% in Quebec CMA.
Canada's average home price rose slightly by 0.6% year over year to $668,219. Some areas, like the Yukon and Victoria, showed price increases ranging from +8.4% to +1.4%. Home prices dropped in the GTA, Halifax-Dartmouth, Winnipeg, the Greater Vancouver Area (GVA), and NWT.
New listings fell 3.2% compared to August last year. The NWT and the GTA reported the largest drops at -17.6% and -14.1%. Yukon and Quebec saw the biggest influx of listings, up 37.5% and 23.9%.
Canada's average SNLR (sales-to-new-listings ratio) tightened but remained a balanced market at 51%.
