Summary Findings:

• Growth in home prices is a function of many factors and those factors do not always impact prices to the same degree
• Shocks to housing demand and interest rates are the largest contributors to fluctuations in home prices, but provincial and municipal governments have limited to no ability to control these factors
• Policies to increase the overall housing stock and grow the supply of residential listings would be enormously beneficial to controlling future price growth
