Nearly half of Canadians planning to buy within 2 yr said now was the right time, even as ~three-quarters said economic uncertainty made them cautious.
Optimism centered on affordability: ~six in 10 expected lower prices to help them buy, and just over half said interest rates supported that view.
More than half believed the window was small before prices climbed again, and nearly half expected interest rates to rise in 2026, pushing action.
Rising costs squeezed savings, and confidence stayed limited: inflation reduced saving for ~seven in 10, while fewer than half of intended buyers felt ready.
Prospective buyers and renewal households largely said expert advice was essential for major ownership decisions, especially as many weighed how higher rates could affect affordability.
