Why it matters
High housing costs in Brampton, combined with rising interest rates, are contributing to a rise in power of sales and mortgage defaults. This affordability crisis is prompting families to move out of Peel toward towns like Innisfil and Orangeville.
A 2014 observation noted that the market in Brampton reflected the urban driving patterns prevalent in the Greater Toronto Area.
