2025 Federal Election: Working Toward A Home For All
April 22, 2025
Oakville, ON, April 22, 2025 – Homeownership is a milestone that many of our local families, friends, and colleagues aspire towards, but it has remained out of reach for many Canadians, including those wishing to live in our local communities in the Halton Region.
As recently as 9 months ago, a significant portion of Halton Region residents expressed critical concerns about housing affordability in a study conducted by Nanos Research and commissioned by OMDREB. 70% believe that the cost of housing in the region has worsened to one extent or another over the last five years.
Unfortunately, challenges such unnecessarily high taxation, lack of focus on education in the trades, and insufficient housing material supply chains are compounding the problem and pushing affordability further out of reach for all Canadians.
OMDREB REALTORS® are calling on our local candidates running in the 2025 Federal Election to ensure housing remains a critical conversation piece at the national level.
To help drive the discussion, OMDREB has put together targeted solutions that, if implemented, will help lower the cost of homeownership, improve consumer confidence in the real estate market, and increase housing supply.
Prioritizing and embracing pro-growth, pro-ownership, and pro-affordability housing policies will ensure future generations continue to have a shot at owning a home in Canada.
