Canada New Home Prices Rise Less than Expected
New home prices for Canada inched up by 0.2% from a month earlier in June of 2022, slowing from a 0.5% increase in the prior month and marginally below market forecasts of a 0.3% rise. Prices were up in 12 of the 27 census metropolitan areas surveyed, unchanged in 14, and lower in 1, as higher interest rates dampen demand in the housing market. The steepest rise was observed in Windsor (1.4%), amid a significantly tight supply of new homes and elevated construction costs; followed by the Charlottetown area (1.0%).

Canada New Home Prices Rise Faster in May
New home prices for Canada rose by 0.5% from a month earlier in May of 2022, following a 0.3% increase in the prior month. Prices were up in 14 of the 27 census metropolitan areas surveyed and unchanged in the other half, due to sustained increases in construction costs. However, the increasing mortgage rates seem to have had a larger impact on the resale market than on the new build market, reducing demand and prices of resale properties. Halifax led gains with a 2.4% increase, followed by St. Catharines–Niagara (+1.7%), Windsor (+1.7%) and Calgary (+1.4%). Year-on-year, new home prices advanced 8.4% in May, the smallest increase since March 2021.
