What happened
The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board applauded the 2026 Federal Budget for its housing priorities, including easing construction barriers and improving affordability for Canadians. The budget introduces new mortgage insurance rules for missing-middle housing and extends restrictions on foreign purchases of existing homes until January 1, 2029.

Why it matters
The new mortgage insurance rules could improve project viability and expand housing choice in established neighborhoods by allowing insured financing for triplexes and fourplexes. These measures aim to encourage investment in new housing supply while prioritizing Canadian residents' access to existing housing.
