Is CREA Hiding the Truth About the Canadian Real Estate Market?

Описание: The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) released their January 2026 housing stats, and they are blaming a snowstorm for the massive 16% year-over-year drop in sales. But does bad weather actually impact the Canadian real estate market, or is the lack of buyer urgency the real story?

In this month's real estate update, we dig into the data behind the headlines. National sales reached just 22,500, making it the second-lowest January for sales in the last 15 years. Active inventory sits at around 140,000 homes, and the national benchmark price dropped 5.1% to $665,200. I also break down why CREA's narrative of "pent-up demand" saving the spring market might just be hype.

Plus, remember that all real estate is local! While national numbers are dropping, markets like Regina real estate and the Montreal real estate market are actually seeing year-over-year price increases. We'll take a look at what's really happening in the Toronto real estate market, Vancouver real estate market, Calgary real estate market, Halifax real estate market, and more.

Are we seeing a Canada real estate market crash, the popping of the Canadian real estate bubble 2026, or just a slow winter? Watch to find out!

🇨🇦 FOR NATIONAL VIEWERS: While I am based in Regina, Saskatchewan, this channel covers the "Canadian" real estate market by breaking it down locally. The media often presents a single national housing market, but the reality is very different. You cannot buy a house in the "national" market—you buy in local ones.

What we cover: Weekly Canadian real estate news recaps, monthly market updates for major cities (Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Halifax, Montreal), and deep dives into housing policy.

My Philosophy: There is no market you cannot buy or sell in. We cut through the hype to give you the data you need, whether you are in Saskatchewan or anywhere else in Canada
