What could go wrong
Prices rose 6.2% over the year — strong +111% over the longer run. (thin market — too few sales to be reliable)
Tight rental market — landlords have the upper hand.
New approvals are running below local demand — a supply gap that supports prices and rents.
Population growth is the clearest leading indicator of housing demand. Parkdale grew +9% between 2015 and 2025, and is projected +17% more by 2036.
A comparative guide, not a household-level stress rate.
The report goes the next mile — your numbers run on the Parkdale median, tuned to your goal, in one document to take to inspections.
Established, premium market — 43/100 on growth-and-yield fundamentals. Blue-chip prices come with lower yields and slower growth — the trade-off for stability, not weak fundamentals.
