• Why construction still takes so long, despite new policy momentum
• A turning point in rental markets — including Vancouver’s 30-year vacancy high
• Big shifts in borrowing, lending, and mortgage trends
• Regional differences in housing starts and affordability
• What to watch for in 2026 as reforms take hold
