Winnipeg Housing Market Expectation: A Comprehensive Outlook
The Winnipeg housing market is expected to remain generally active and competitive, characterized by solid, moderate price appreciation through 2026. Strong local demand factors primarily drive this positive outlook, but significant external risks from global trade critically temper it.
1. Core Positive Drivers (Local Demand)
The primary forces sustaining the market are structural and demographic:
- Affordability Advantage: Winnipeg remains significantly more affordable than major metropolitan areas (Toronto, Vancouver), attracting both inter-provincial and local buyers and sustaining a strong floor for demand.
- Immigration Lag Effect: Despite federal policy slowing new non-permanent resident intake, a large existing pool of recent Permanent Residents (PRs) who arrived between 2020-2023 are now transitioning from the rental market to first-time homeownership. This demographic shift will continue to fuel robust demand in the entry-level and affordable detached segments.
- Tight Inventory: A persistent shortage of active listings, particularly for desirable single-family homes, will maintain a seller's market and fuel competition and bidding wars in key price brackets.
2. Critical Downside Risks (External Factors)
International trade policy introduces significant, unavoidable risks that could temper the positive outlook:
- Elevated Construction Costs (US Trade): A trade war with the US, driven by tariffs (on either side), is expected to increase construction costs. This is due to Canada's reliance on US imports for specialized finished goods (like HVAC and fixtures) and the general instability and compounded costs within North American supply chains.
- Impact: Higher costs erode Winnipeg's key affordability advantage and can slow down much-needed new housing starts, worsening the long-term supply shortage.
- Economic Weakness (China Trade): Persistent trade conflicts, particularly with China, pose a risk to Manitoba's export-heavy economy (especially agriculture).
- Impact: A resulting economic slowdown or job uncertainty would severely dampen overall consumer confidence, potentially leading to slower sales and moderating price growth.
In summary, the Winnipeg market is expected to perform well due to its internal dynamics, but its actual performance will be highly sensitive to external global trade and tariff negotiations that dictate the cost of new housing and the health of the provincial economy.
Note: Average Home Price is calculated by dividing the total dollar volume of sales by the total number of sales.

Glossary and Definitions
MLS® HPI: The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) is an index by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) that tracks the prices of homes in a neighborhood. It allows Canadians to quickly compare home prices across Canada and between periods of time without having to account for specific features of a property. Unlike market prices, which can fluctuate from month to month based on seasonal dynamics, the HPI provides a stable view and tracks trends across a longer period of time. The HPI is reviewed every year in May to adjust for changes in the real estate marketplace.
MLS® HPI Benchmark Price: The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Benchmark Price is the HPI translated into a real-world price number.
Strata Insurance: Strata insurance is insurance used by a strata like a condominium to cover damages to common areas and assets and liability to the strata. It can also include fixtures built or installed as part of the original construction of each unit, even though these may not be common structures. The insurance can cover:
- Buildings and structures associated with the strata including common areas such as the roof, parking garages, driveways, gyms, pools, etc.
- Liability for any property damage or bodily injury suffered on strata property
- Any fixtures that are part of the "standard unit" or original construction of each unit
Strata insurance does not usually include personal items and appliances that are part of a condo unit. It also does not cover the damages made by individual unit owners, such as in the case of water damage caused by a unit owner. These are usually covered by personal condo insurance.
Property types
Detached home: A detached home is your standard single-family home. It is a residential building that stands alone and is separately titled or legally a single unit.
Semi-detached home: A semi-detached home is similar to a detached home, except it shares a wall with another home. This pair of homes must make up an independent building and each should be separately titled or legally two separate units. There can only be two homes in a semi-detached building.
Townhouses: A townhouse is the middle between a detached/semi-detached home and a condo apartment. Like detached and semi-detached homes, they are often single-family units that have their own land and may be attached to other units. However, like condo apartments, they typically have to pay co-ownership fees for maintenance and may share some common features with their neighbors.
Condo apartment: This category includes all apartments and condominiums. These are complexes of residential units with common areas such as hallways, parking lots, stairwells, etc. They can be low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise buildings. Unlike townhouses, there are no parts of the lot (the land of the building) where access is reserved for only one owner or occupant. There can be privately owned units and spaces inside the building.
Plexes are multi-story buildings with two to four individual units, usually one on each floor. They are a mainstay in Montreal and other cities in Quebec. Each unit is usually individually accessible via an external entrance with higher floors connected by staircases.
Property Classes
Freeholds: A freehold is any property where the owner owns both the house and the land it is built on. Common freehold property types include: detached, semi-detached, some townhouses, and farmland.
Condominiums: A condominium or condo is any property where the owner owns the home (or unit) but shares ownership of the land and other improvements with a condominium corporation. Common condominium property types include condo apartments and some townhouses.
Leasehold: Leasehold describes the situation where different entities own the land and the structure built on the land. Owners of the buildings have leased the land and pay rent to their landlord while owning the building on the land.
