But hopeful homebuyers may need to wait to feel the effects of its measures, according to new insights from RBC Economics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By RBC\u2019s count, this year\u2019s budget outlined 29 new housing-related measures which will receive funding over the next five years, many of which were borrowed from the federal Liberal party\u2019s 2021 election campaign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some of the biggest budget items include $4 billion over five years towards the Housing Accelerator Fund, which will be managed by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to speed up construction approval times, and update zoning rules to build 100,000 new homes by 2025. A new 15% multi-generational home renovation tax credit, an anti-flipping tax, a first home savings account and a two-year ban on foreign buyers were also outlined in the 2022 budget, among other policies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the multi-billion dollar investments Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland has announced, it will take some time for the proposed budget measures to kick in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhether Freeland\u2019s new measures will bring quick relief to Canadians struggling with poor housing affordability is another story,\u201d said RBC\u2019s assistant chief economist, Robert Hogue, in a recent RBC Thought Leadership article. \u201cMany of the measures announced won\u2019t be effective for some time. Still efforts to address supply issues go in the right direction even if federal power is limited in that regard, and any benefits will be realized only gradually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Big spending makes intentions clear, could make big market impression<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some of the budget\u2019s items are \u201cclearly designed to shake things up,\u201d according to Hogue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Policies like the foreign buyer ban and anti-flipping tax have been proposed to inflict change in the market\u2019s direction. However, the RBC economist noted that the direct market impact of a temporary ban on foreign purchasers \u201cwill be minimal,\u201d given that non-residents own less than two per cent of the housing stock in most markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other measures like the budget\u2019s accelerator housing fund and rapid housing initiative focus more on the supply side, while increased tax credits and a new tax-free savings account are intended to help buyers in today\u2019s tricky market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIndividually, many of these measures aren\u2019t likely to move the needle much or will do so only gradually over time,\u201d said Hogue. \u201cBut together, they send a loud message that the government is eager to do what it can to steer the market onto a more sustainable \u2014 and affordable \u2014 path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hogue noted that RBC is happy to see the budget\u2019s focus on building up home supply through the Housing Accelerator Fund and spending on affordable housing, both of which \u201cgo in the right direction.\u201d Given how much housing affordability has deteriorated \u2014 making it harder to buy now than at any point since 1990 \u200b\u200b\u2014 measures to assist buyers in the budget weren\u2019t surprising. However, Hogue cautioned that measures which heighten demand for housing can perpetuate the imbalance between demand and supply while doing little to cool price appreciation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cNevertheless, we think the breadth of measures announced in this budget will make a big impression on the market,\u201d said Hogue. \u201cLarge housing packages introduced by British Columbia in 2016 and Ontario in 2017 caused market participants to pause (briefly) while assessing implications. Minister Freeland\u2019s housing budget has the potential to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2022\/04\/2022-budget-measures-relief.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RBC Economics : 2022 Budget Measures Won&#8217;t Bring Immediate Relief to Housing Market<\/a> by Michelle McNally | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2022 budget has officially been released, $10 billion of which will be dedicated towards Canada\u2019s housing market.
