Steep price drops will bring ‘sanity’ back to housing market in 2023: Desjardins

home price in Canada will decline by nearly 25 per cent by the end of 2023 from the peak reached in February of this year.In its latest residential real estate outlook published on Thursday, Desjardins says it’s expecting a sharp correction in the housing market, adjusting its previous forecast that predicted a 15-per-cent drop in the average home price over that same period.Desjardins says the worsened outlook stems from both weaker housing data and more aggressive monetary policy than previously anticipated.The Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate by a full percentage point in July, pushing up the borrowing rates linked to mortgages, and further increases are expected this year. Here’s how high interest rates are impacting Canada’s condo demand The report also notes housing prices have dropped by more than four per cent in each of the three months that followed February, when the national average home price hit a record $816,720.Despite the adjustment in the forecast, prices are still expected to be above the pre-pandemic level at the end of 2023.Regionally, the report says the largest price corrections are most likely to occur in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, where prices skyrocketed during the pandemic.“While we don’t want to diminish the difficulties some Canadians are facing, this adjustment is helping to bring some sanity back to Canadian real estate,” the report said.The authors also note that the upcoming economic slowdown will ease inflationary pressures enough for the Bank of Canada to begin reversing interest rate hikes.
