The national housing agency says we\u2019ll need between 417,000 and 469,000 new homes built each year through 2036 if we want to get back to pre-pandemic levels of affordability. Right now, construction isn\u2019t keeping up\u2014and that leaves us facing a yearly shortfall of 187,000 to 238,000 homes over the next decade. With building expected to slow even more quickly than demand, this poses a serious challenge for affordability across communities, including right here in Medicine Hat and the surrounding areas. Many of the homes currently in the pipeline are already in progress, which means we\u2019d need to double current projections just to make a real dent in the shortage. Staying informed about these shifts is essential for buyers and sellers alike\u2014especially in a market as dynamic as ours. We always keep our clients up to date with the latest trends and data, so you can approach your next move with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s housing supply is in the spotlight again, and the numbers are staggering.
