April 2026 - Andersen Brethour Report

The April 2026 Andersen Brethour Report highlights a market that is changing — but doing so quietly.

Economic growth in Canada remains subdued, with weak domestic demand and cautious business activity. Yet beneath the surface, structural shifts are underway — and policy is beginning to respond.

Most notably, the newly announced Enhanced New Home HST Rebates could play a meaningful role in unlocking demand as evidenced by the recent successful launches continuing at Union Glen in Markham, Treasure Hill's Chateau 9 in Stouffville and Caivan's launch at Riverview in Oakville (see the full details of these in the New Openings Report)

This is how cycles begin to turn — not with headlines, but with subtle shifts.

This month’s key insights include:

✅ Canada’s economy continues to lack strong internal momentum

✅ “Buy Canadian” trends are reshaping manufacturing and supply chains

✅ Housing markets remain stable, but recovery is uneven across segments

✅ Enhanced HST rebates could help unlock delayed new home demand

✅ The market is transitioning — from uncertainty toward early opportunity

What matters now is not just where the market stands — but how quickly these changes begin to take hold.
