2022 proved to be a rocky year for Canadian real estate. Between a looming recession, rising interest rates and challenges around capital availability, homebuyers and sellers from coast to coast experienced disruption. Yet with a trend towards cooling prices and tighter monetary policies set to slow the pace and pressure of recent years, the outlook for 2023 is one of both hope and caution.
