2025 Ontario Election: Building A Stronger Halton Region Together
February 20, 2025
Milton, ON, February 20, 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 – including those wishing to live in the Halton Region.
As recently as 8 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 as archaic zoning policies, regulatory red tape, prohibitive costs, and a lack of innovation when it comes to both increasing supply and the rate of homeownership, are compounding the problem and pushing affordability further out of reach.
OMDREB REALTORS® are calling on our local candidates running in the 2025 Ontario Election to ensure housing remains a critical conversation piece.
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 across the province.
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.
