How much pent-up housing demand is there?
Nearly 25% of Toronto's 30-34 year-olds still live with their parents, and Vancouver's close behind. Montréal and the rest of the big six metros sit far below them — part of a demand gap that raw population totals overlook.
Explore it in AtlasIs Vancouver's construction pipeline drying up?
Permits lead starts by six to twelve months, and Vancouver's permit line rolled over first. Atlas tracks both monthly for every CMA, and city by city where permits are published, including cities StatCan no longer covers.

International migration fell from 339,801 in 2024 to 53,397 in 2025, an 84% drop, while the steady outflow to the rest of Ontario and Canada continued. Toronto's growth flatlined in a single year.
Explore it in AtlasWhere is housing supply headed across Canada?
Each month the Atlas publishes a supply call, forecasting housing starts for all 41 metros before the official number prints and scoring it once it does. The Atlas market Outlook carries that call out to 2028 for 14 major markets and adds rents, vacancy, population and completions.
