Toronto, Ottawa housing markets highly vulnerable: CMHC

Sustained high housing prices in many cities are making Canada’s national housing market moderately vulnerable, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Housing Market Assessment (HMA) released today. The determination of vulnerability comes from the fact that prices are outpacing the recovery in fundamental factors, such as labour income. The Toronto and Ottawa housing markets moved from moderate to high degrees of vulnerability in the latest   HMA reports.  Price acceleration in Toronto and overvaluation in Ottawa were factors in driving the rating change.
