Ahead of Canada\u2019s next federal election this upcoming Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/wahi.com\/ca\/en\/learning-centre\/real-estate-101\/buy\/home-prices-toronto-federal-election-ridings\/\">Wahi analyzed home prices<\/a> in each of Toronto\u2019s 24 electoral districts, as well as those in the surrounding regions. The digital real estate platform found that since Canadians last headed to the polls, there have, in fact, been some major swings. Since the third quarter of 2021, when Justin Trudeau\u2019s Liberals defeated the Erin O\u2019Toole-led Conservatives, most ridings saw modest gains or declines, but there were a few outliers.

An additional 13% oppose the ban, while 11% of respondents are undecided. The ban was first enacted in 2023 as a two-year moratorium in an effort to cool housing demand and, following a previous extension, is currently in effect until 2027. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;1.25rem&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.88rem&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;1.25rem&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.88rem&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;21px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Springtime, When the Homebuying Is Easier\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nobody said buying a home in Canada was easy, but it did just get easier.
