While larger developments still account for the majority of new builds in established neighborhoods, there\u2019s a notable trend: zoning changes are increasingly allowing more homes to be added to existing lots. This could open the door for a real boost in supply\u2014especially in areas where infill regulations are becoming more flexible.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re seeing a shift toward building on previously developed land, with new homes often designed for greater density. This means ground-oriented homes, though still valued, are becoming a smaller slice of the pie. The push for more &#039;missing middle&#039; housing is encouraging, but it\u2019s clear that real progress depends on factors like approval timelines, development fees, building regulations, and access to financing.<\/p>\n<p>Having helped many clients navigate these changes, I recognize the importance of understanding both the opportunities and challenges presented by small-scale infill. It\u2019s becoming an increasingly important source of ground-oriented homes, but its long-term impact will depend on whether these projects remain financially sustainable. Staying informed and adaptable is key in making the right real estate decisions as our communities grow and evolve.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who\u2019s spent decades guiding clients through the evolving landscape of our local real estate market, I\u2019ve seen firsthand how small-scale infill projects are starting to reshape Canada\u2019s housing supply.
