Election 2025: What Canadian Homebuyers Need to Know Before Casting Their Vote 

With the Canadian federal election just around the corner, millions of Canadians are getting ready to head to the polls. For many, the key issues this year include housing affordability, interest rates, and mortgage policies — topics that hit especially close to home, quite literally. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a real estate investor, or someone navigating the challenges of owning a home in today’s economy, understanding how political decisions impact the housing market is more important than ever.

At GLM Mortgage Group, we believe that informed decisions are empowered decisions. This election is a crucial opportunity for Canadians to shape the future of housing, and we’re here to help you navigate it with clarity, strategy, and expert insight.

Why Housing Policy Should Matter to Every Canadian Voter

Housing affordability and accessibility have long been pressing issues in Canada, but in recent years, they’ve reached critical mass. Rising property prices, interest rate fluctuations, and limited housing supply have made it difficult for many to break into the housing market — and for others, to stay in it.

Federal policies impact everything from mortgage lending rules to tax implications for rental properties, green energy incentives, and first-time homebuyer programs. The party that takes office will shape the landscape for years to come — which means your vote could directly influence your ability to afford, purchase, or refinance a home.

What’s at Stake in This Election

Here are a few housing-related areas to watch closely in party platforms and policy proposals:

1. Interest Rate Management and Affordability

While the Bank of Canada operates independently, government fiscal policy influences inflation and long-term rate strategy. A change in leadership could signal shifts in housing affordability depending on how monetary policy is addressed.

Why it matters: Budgeting for a mortgage in a changing rate environment is tricky. GLM Mortgage Group helps you plan ahead — no matter which party leads post-election.

2. Support for First-Time Homebuyers

Programs such as the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive and Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA) have helped thousands of Canadians get on the property ladder. Some parties propose expanding these programs; others suggest replacing them altogether.

GLM Insight: We break down these changes and show you how to leverage every available advantage — maximizing your buying power even before new legislation hits.

3. Rental Property and Investment Regulations

For Canadians who own or are considering buying rental properties, election outcomes could mean new taxes, stricter regulations, or updated guidelines on capital gains exemptions.

Investor Tip: Our GLM experts specialize in rental property financing and tax efficiency — helping you adapt to legislative changes swiftly and strategically.

4. Green Housing and Incentives

Eco-friendly homes and sustainable living are becoming increasingly prominent in policy conversations. Expect to see promises around green home grants, retrofit programs, and “green mortgage” support.

Forward Thinking: GLM is already ahead of the curve. We help clients take advantage of energy-efficient financing options that could soon become even more attractive.
