Canada housing: Is home ownership only for the rich now? 80% say yes in new poll

On Friday, Ipsos polling conducted exclusively for Global News showed that four in five Canadians (80 per cent) now feel that owning a home is only for the rich. That’s 11 points higher than a similar poll from just over a year ago in March 2023. The survey, conducted after the 2024 federal budget’s release last week, shows that 72 per cent of non-owners in Canada have now “given up” on ever owning a home, a figure that’s nine percentage points higher than last year’s polling. Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Global Public Affairs, says this latest polling reveals how “incredibly stressed” the idea of home ownership is making Canadians.
