So will affordability issues in Vancouver and Toronto. Further, slower in-migration flows to Canada due to COVID-19 disruptions will weigh on housing demand. Not even lower interest rates will be enough to save the housing market,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Singh wrote that Moody\u2019s Analytics\u2019 baseline scenario would see Canadian home prices experience a seven percent peak-to-trough decline. The effects would not be evenly distributed across the country. Major markets in oil-producing regions, like Calgary and Edmonton, are considered to be most vulnerable. Condo and rental segments in the expensive Toronto and Vancouver markets will be more adversely affected than the lower density areas located outside their urban cores.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While this is a hefty dose of gloom following the market\u2019s remarkable summer recovery, Singh said that, fortunately, the price declines will be brief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c[T]he restoration of robust job growth in 2022 along with Canada\u2019s strong demographics will put a floor under the housing market which mitigates the degree of the declines,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the worst price effects confined to 2021, Singh said that prices will \u201cmeaningfully\u201d recover beginning in early 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2020\/09\/canadian-home-prices-forecast-fall-2021-moodys.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moody&#8217;s : Canadian Home Prices Forecast to Fall 7% in 2021<\/a> by Sean MacKay | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s housing market mounted an impressive comeback after the springtime freeze, but a prolonged period of high unemployment and lower incomes will eventually sap the market\u2019s current vigour.
