Aging in Place Is Reshaping the Canadian Home
A 2025 CMHC study found that 74 percent of Canadian homeowners plan to renovate at some point in the next five years, with accessibility features and modifications increasingly central to those plans. According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, housing demand is increasingly influenced by older homeowners who want adaptable, accessible spaces, and that preference affects future buyers as well. Homes that support mobility and independent living are attractive to a broader range of buyers. The key, as this piece from All Canadian Renovations shows, is designing features that feel modern and welcoming rather than institutional.
