Special report on real estate: Inside Canada’s most luxurious markets
While mainstream real estate in Canada continues to contend with economic uncertainty, softer consumer confidence and affordability pressures, ultra-premium homes are increasingly charting their own course.
“The story right now is segmented: the top of the market is resilient and, in pockets, accelerating, while everything below it is still finding its footing,” says Claudine Montano, the Toronto-based founder and CEO of Penthouse Queen and a luxury real-estate broker with Corcoran Horizon Realty.
Faith Wilson, founder of faithwilson | Christie’s International Real Estate in Vancouver, describes the national luxury market as “somewhat stable but highly uneven.” She says early-2026 luxury sales rose about 48 per cent in Edmonton, 27 per cent in Saskatoon, 18 per cent in Ottawa and 14 per cent in Calgary, while the Greater Toronto and Greater Vancouver areas declined roughly 17 and 20 per cent respectively. “Buyers remain active, but they are taking longer, negotiating harder and placing a premium on turnkey quality and correct pricing.”

In his conversation with Redmond, Stenner shares:
• Why a $100-million portfolio should begin with an investment policy statement and a clearly defined deployment plan.
• Why he would consider investing new capital gradually over 12 to 24 months in the current market environment.
