As we welcome the new year, the Canadian housing market is bustling with exciting developments. This update is specially tailored for women entrepreneurs and female mortgage agents looking to stay ahead in the industry. At Mortgage Mingle, we’re committed to providing actionable insights to help you grow your business and empower your clients.
Strong Housing Price Gains
In December, Canadian house prices experienced a 0.6% increase, the strongest monthly growth in over a year. For mortgage agents, this signifies renewed confidence among buyers. Women entrepreneurs in the real estate and investment sectors can leverage this momentum to encourage clients to take advantage of competitive opportunities. Use this trend to market your expertise in securing financing and navigating the changing landscape.
Robust Population Growth
Canada’s population expanded by an impressive 2.4% annually in the last quarter, with Alberta leading the way with a 3.9% growth rate. Population growth fuels housing demand, making it a prime time for female mortgage agents to connect with clients exploring new regions or urban centers. Women entrepreneurs in property development or rental markets can also seize this opportunity by expanding their portfolios in high-growth areas.
Nearly a Million New Canadians
Canada welcomed approximately 950,000 new residents in the past year. This influx is driving demand for housing and creating opportunities for female professionals in real estate and mortgages. For agents, this is a chance to market your services to newcomers who need guidance on navigating the Canadian mortgage system. Women entrepreneurs can also consider partnering with settlement organizations to support this growing demographic.
Tightening Market Balance
The housing market is becoming increasingly competitive, with home sales outpacing supply. The sales-to-new-listing ratio has reached its highest level since early 2023. Female agents can use this data to advise clients on the importance of acting quickly and making strong offers. Women entrepreneurs exploring investments should be prepared for tighter market conditions by securing pre-approvals and solid financing strategies.
Nationwide Price Increases
With interest rates beginning to decline, homebuyers are returning to the market, resulting in rising house prices across every major metropolitan area over the past six months. Female mortgage agents can use this trend to encourage clients to lock in favorable rates now. For women entrepreneurs, this is an excellent time to invest in property or expand your business footprint.
