Key Points

  • The Canadian Real Estate Association has downgraded its home sales forecast for 2025, but a market recovery might be on the horizon driven by pent-up demand and lower interest rates.
  • An investor's $84 million acquisition of a multifamily complex in Tacoma highlights the growing confidence in secondary markets with strong economic indicators.
  • Apartment REITs offer compelling opportunities for income investors due to their resilience during recessions and potential benefits from falling interest rates.
