Growing number of renters are waiting for home prices to decline further before buying, report says
Canadian renters are waiting for housing prices to drop before jumping into the market, according to a new report, reflecting optimism over a trend of falling prices.
As renters inked new leases this year, 28 per cent said they considered buying property rather than renting, the 2025 Canadian Renters Report says. This is nearly the same as last year, when 29 per cent of respondents said they considered buying a home.
