Major Markets Lose Momentum Canada’s housing market remained relatively balanced in July 2026, as buyers stayed cautious despite improved borrowing conditions. Sales and new listings slowed across major markets, while prices continued to soften in several regions. In the Greater Toronto Area, sales fell 0.9% year-on-year, while new listings dropped a much sharper 17.8%. The average selling price declined 4.5% to C$1,003,956, although reduced supply has begun increasing competition among buyers. Metro Vancouver also slowed, with home sales falling 9.8% year-on-year to 2,061 transactions. New listings declined 11.5%, while the composite benchmark price fell 6.2% year-on-year to C$1,088,800. Apartment sales recorded the largest drop, down 17.8%.  Quebec Shows a Different Pattern Quebec also experienced softer transaction activity, with total sales down 6% year-on-year in July. However, active listings increased 19%, giving buyers more choice. Price trends were more mixed. The median price for single-family homes increased 3% to C$505,000, while plex properties recorded an 8% increase to C$690,000. Condominium activity was weaker, with sales falling 16% and median prices edging down 1%. The figures highlight how Canada’s housing adjustment is increasingly varying by region and property type. Outlook Canada’s market is likely to remain balanced but selective in the near term. Toronto and Vancouver may continue facing price pressure as demand adjusts, although tighter new supply could provide some support. For buyers and investors, opportunities will increasingly depend on local inventory, property type and pricing, rather than broad national market trends.

Recovery Led by Value and Infrastructure Cambodia’s real estate market is moving through a gradual and selective recovery, with buyer confidence improving but purchasing decisions remaining cautious. Demand is increasingly concentrated on properties offering strong value, good locations and reliable quality. Buyers are also placing greater importance on legal documentation, completed or reputable developments and long-term investment potential. Infrastructure remains one of the strongest drivers. Ring Road 3, the New Techo International Airport, and the continued expansion of southern and western Phnom Penh are reshaping development patterns and supporting demand for land and residential projects along key growth corridors.  Landed Homes and Growth Corridors Lead The residential market is gradually stabilising, with the strongest demand seen in affordable and mid-market properties. The borey segment remains relatively active, although affordability, financing conditions and household purchasing power continue to influence sales. Condominiums are recovering more slowly. Performance remains highly location-dependent, while existing supply and absorption continue to weigh on some projects. By comparison, growth-corridor land continues to show some of the strongest long-term potential, particularly in areas benefiting from infrastructure development and urban expansion. Outlook Cambodia’s property recovery is expected to remain gradual rather than broad-based. Affordable landed housing and growth-corridor land are likely to remain the strongest-performing segments, while condominium recovery will favour projects with competitive pricing, strong locations, good quality and clear rental demand. As investors become more disciplined, opportunities are likely to favour buyers who focus on fundamentals, infrastructure and long-term value rather than short-term speculation.

Bali: A More Established Property Market Bali has evolved far beyond its reputation as a holiday destination. Today, it is a mature international real estate market supported by millions of visitors, established hospitality brands, restaurants, beach clubs, wellness concepts and international schools. Popular areas such as Canggu, Pererenan and Uluwatu have already experienced significant development. As prices and competition increase in these locations, investors are increasingly looking towards emerging areas where land and property may still offer stronger growth potential. For investors, success in Bali is becoming less about simply owning property on the island and more about choosing the right micro-location, concept and legal structure. Indonesia’s efforts to attract more international capital also add to the broader investment story.  Lombok: Earlier in the Growth Cycle Lombok presents a very different opportunity. The island remains at an earlier stage of development, supported by an international airport, the Mandalika development, MotoGP circuit, and a growing pipeline of hotels, resorts and villas around Kuta Lombok and the south coast. Property prices can still be considerably lower than comparable locations in Bali, giving Lombok potentially more room for long-term appreciation. However, an earlier-stage market also brings greater development and execution risk, making project selection, developer quality and due diligence especially important. Outlook The choice between Bali and Lombok ultimately depends on an investor’s strategy. Bali offers a more established tourism and rental market, while Lombok offers greater early-stage growth potential. Rather than viewing them as competing markets, investors may benefit from understanding both and identifying where future tourism and development demand is likely to move next.
