Succinctly written article on the state of the current real estate market in the GTA. There is a short term decline in prices, however you have to distinguish between demand for housing (sales, rentals, short term etc) and demand from BUYERS of housing that is for sale. The intention of the recent and ongoing government legislation related to housing is to curb the SALE PRICES and RENTS of homes and condos which we've seen increasing several fold over the last few years, it should be noted that these increases were a result of government land use and rent legislation policies in the first place. But without meaningful measures to also address and increase the housing supply and to make that supply available to the average end user, the demand will continue to rise. You can build a dam to hold the water, but you can't stop the rain.

Toronto And Vancouver Housing Is Going To Get Even Pricier Measures to promote supply are needed, but the resulting new-build supply won't be cheap.
