Canada’s newly appointed Housing and Infrastructure Minister has confirmed that the federal government has no plans to reduce home prices — instead, the focus remains on increasing supply. While this long-term approach may eventually stabilize the market, many Canadians are still struggling to afford homes, refinance, or access equity today.
At Lendworth, we recognize the urgency. We provide fast, flexible mortgage solutions that help homeowners and buyers navigate a tight market without waiting for government programs to catch up.
New Housing Minister Prioritizes Construction, Not Price Reductions
Speaking ahead of the first cabinet meeting under Prime Minister Mark Carney’s leadership, the new minister emphasized that housing prices don’t need to decline — instead, more homes must be built to meet demand.
“We need to deliver more supply and make sure the market is stable. It’s a huge part of our economy,” he said.
The government’s ambitious goal is to build up to 500,000 new homes per year, though officials acknowledge this will take several years to implement. The pace of construction is slow, and the need for affordable housing has never been higher — particularly in urban markets like Toronto and Vancouver.
The Gap Between Government Planning and Real-World Needs
Although the federal government is investing in infrastructure and promoting construction innovation (such as modular housing and off-site manufacturing), these strategies will take years to scale. Meanwhile, Canadians are feeling the pressure of high interest rates, limited housing inventory, and tightened lending rules.
Many households can’t wait years for relief. Whether it’s a homeowner trying to refinance, a buyer needing short-term capital, or an investor seeking flexibility outside traditional lenders — the current system still leaves many people behind.
