The RE/MAX 2023 Canada Housing Barometer Report

"The RE/MAX 2023 Canada Housing Barometer Report examined average price and new mortgage values published by CMHC-Equifax Canada in 12 major markets from British Columbia to New Brunswick, to compare loan-to-value (LTV) ratios between Q3 2012 and Q3 2022.

The report found that LTV ratios had declined in 67% of markets (8) over the past decade, with the greatest drops noted in London and Moncton (21%), Halifax (15%), Hamilton (14%), Toronto (10%) and Ottawa-Gatineau (9%). 4 markets, including Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Regina, were up over 2012 levels, a trend that is set to reverse in the years ahead as Alberta and Saskatchewan’s economic engines gain momentum and drive home-buying activity.

The lowest loan-to-value ratios were found in the most expensive markets, including Vancouver (50%), Toronto (53%), and Hamilton (54%) while the highest loan-to-value ratios were found in Regina (88%) and Edmonton (83%). Nationally, loan-to-value ratios hovered at 57%."
