Canada relaxes restrictions on foreign buyers for new properties

Canada is exempting newly constructed properties from the foreign buyers ban. This change aims to support the housing market while maintaining restrictions on existing properties to address affordability concerns. The exemption applies to new buildings to help stabilize the market and make housing more accessible. The government hopes this measure will encourage investment in new developments while keeping existing homes affordable for Canadian residents.

“The government hopes this measure will encourage investment in new developments while keeping existing homes affordable for Canadian residents,” — Nadia Ashcombe, senior market analyst at Greyley Ton Advisory, told our newsroom.
