Economic uncertainty brought on by U.S. tariffs is taking a toll on the recreational property market.

Still, prices are expected to rise: report finds.

Families overtaking retirees as primary drivers in the recreational market, report says.

Buyers need to be aware of short-term rental restrictions in some regions to address housing inventory shortage.

Year-over-year home prices have dipped between one and 20.3 per cent across half of recreational markets.

Prices are expected to increase in 60 per cent of regions as pent-up demand puts pressure on existing inventory.

Northwestern Ontario is the outlier, as it’s still experiencing low inventory.

Families and retirees from the Greater Toronto Area as well as locals are driving demand.
