When you hear the words global economics, you probably think it belongs in boardrooms, stock markets, or late-night news cycles—not in your living room.
But here’s the surprising truth:
🌍 What’s happening around the world is quietly shaping what your home is worth right here in Etobicoke.
And understanding these influences could give you a major advantage—whether you’re planning to sell, buy, or simply stay informed.
Let’s break it down—without the jargon, just the good stuff you actually need to know.
1. Global Interest Rate Movements
Central banks in the U.S., Europe, and Asia are adjusting interest rates to fight inflation.
When they move? Canada often follows.
Higher global interest rates lead to:
Higher borrowing costs here at home
Buyers becoming more cautious about making big financial moves
Slower demand, which can soften home prices, especially in the move-up or luxury brackets
Translation: Global financial strategies affect how quickly homes sell—and what buyers are willing to pay.
2. Global Job Markets + Immigration
Canada continues to attract top talent from around the world, and rising immigration rates directly increase housing demand.
More people looking for homes = more competition, especially in desirable areas like Etobicoke.
That’s why certain neighbourhoods are holding their value—or even seeing price increases—despite broader market shifts.
Translation: If you own in a high-demand area, global immigration trends are working in your favor.
3. Supply Chain Challenges + Construction Costs
Global shipping slowdowns and material shortages don’t just affect factories—they impact new home construction too.
When it costs more (and takes longer) to build new homes:
Developers pull back
Fewer new listings hit the market
Resale inventory becomes even more valuable
Translation: Limited supply supports higher resale values, even if buyer demand softens slightly.
