2024 Year-End Canadian Luxury Market Report

Engel & Völkers’ 2024 Year-End Luxury Real Estate Market Report highlights trends for residential properties over $1 million in Halifax, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver.

Following five consecutive interest rate cuts, a surge in spring 2025 listings is expected to temporarily pressure prices before they stabilize and trend upward as demand absorbs the inventory. October 2024 marked a turning point, with increased unit sales signaling recovery from post-COVID stagnation.

First-time buyers are driving renewed activity, supported by government incentives and the higher $1.5 million insured mortgage cap. While condos face challenges from oversupply, the sector's recovery depends on competition in the detached market. Stalled developments may lead to future shortages, increasing demand and prices. Meanwhile, Canada’s $9 million investment in skilled trades aims to integrate 1,500 internationally trained professionals, bolstering construction and supporting market growth.
