Key Points
- First-time homebuyer affordability is collapsing in both the U.S. and Canada, pushing more people into the rental market and reshaping the housing ecosystem.
- Trump's new "Emergency Price Relief" order aims to reduce housing costs but may inadvertently boost commercial real estate value by increasing rental demand and tightening cap rates.
- Toronto's multifamily market remains resilient despite higher borrowing costs and regulatory changes, with strong demand outpacing supply and driving up lease rates.
