Tariffs Could Boost Domestic Housing Supply

A new study from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) suggests that US tariffs on Canadian lumber and wood products could create an opportunity for domestic housing supply.

The research indicates that while tariffs continue to affect Canada's economy, they may make more Canadian wood products available for domestic use, reducing construction costs for certain types of housing.

This unexpected outcome could be beneficial in addressing the current housing supply challenges in Canada.
