Housing in Toronto
Canada's largest housing market, where rental construction has outpaced ownership supply.
Overview
CMHC's 2026 supply work finds that Toronto's remaining housing gap is increasingly concentrated in the ownership market, while rental construction has been the main source of new homes. The city still needs a large increase in annual starts, on CMHC's estimates, to restore pre-pandemic affordability over the next decade.
Official statistics for this location will appear here as they are verified and attached. No placeholder figures are shown.
Current Situation
Treat Toronto as a market where tenure mix matters as much as headline starts. More apartments do not automatically mean more pathways into ownership.
