Assessing the drivers of housing demand and supply is a complex task as diverse factors shape housing prices and sales. This webinar will examine the near-term outlook for housing and its medium and long-term trends. Key questions that it will address include:

What is the stage of the correction in house prices and sales?

• How much will much higher borrowing rates affect housing in 2023?
• What is the outlook for housing demand and supply trends beyond 2023?
• What are the projected impacts of domestic demographic trends and rising immigration
