Housing affordability has become a key part of Canada's upcoming national election on September 20, as the COVID-19 pandemic drove up property prices in the country.
Housing prices peaked in March this year, with an average home costing $716,000 Canadian ($568,000) — a 31.6% increase year over year, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
Prices have tapered since then, with the average house price coming in at CA$662,000 ($525,200) in July. But that is still 22% higher compared to last year, according to CREA.
