Fall 2026 Housing Supply Report

As someone who helps clients navigate Vancouver’s real estate market every day, I keep a close eye on housing supply trends. According to the Fall 2026 Housing Supply Report, the supply gap continues to impact most major Canadian cities—with Calgary and Edmonton as rare exceptions. What stands out is how construction is slowing down more rapidly than demand, which puts more pressure on affordability for both buyers and renters. Most of the new supply right now is coming from rental housing, while fewer condo projects are breaking ground—so for those hoping to own, choices are becoming more limited. It’s clear that increased housing starts and investment in infrastructure are key to more balanced options ahead.
