 According to the 2009 Third Quarter CMHC Housing Market Outlook released on September 3, 2009 by Canadian Mortgage & Housing Corporation, stable economic conditions across the province of Ontario will help stabilize housing demand in 2010.

Highlights of the Ontario forecast include:

• The Ontario economy will stabilize at year end before gradually recovering in 2010

• Ontario resale volumes will stabilize and range between 160,000 and 190,000 unit sales this year and next - reaching 174,000 units in 2009, and 166,750 units in 2010.

• Resale volumes will be down from the peak in 2007 but will be in line with volumes earlier this decade.

• After experiencing buyers market conditions early this year, balanced market conditions will be sustained through 2010 - prices will rise by 1.6 per cent and 0.8 per cent this year and next respectively.

• After declining in 2009, new home starts will edge up and reach 50,000 units in 2010 but owing to economic uncertainty will range between 45,800 and 60,000.

• High levels of affordability will support demand for detached housing in the immediate term but a shift to more inexpensive multi-family housing will occur as affordability erodes in late 2010.
