Uncertain U.S. trade policies will put pressure on the Canadian housing market, according to the latest Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. Housing Market Outlook, which provides forward-looking analysis into Canada’s national and major housing markets through to 2027.

(More details on CMHC’s forecasts for housing starts will appear in next Monday’s edition of our sister publication, Hardlines Weekly Report. Try out HWR for yourself for a month at no charge. Click here now!)
