Power Of Sale Listings Just Hit A 2-Year High. Here's What It Means
Also on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Ontario just hit a two-year high for publicly visible power-of-sale listings, and CMHC's Spring 2026 report confirms what the headlines miss: national mortgage delinquencies are still calm at 0.24%, but Toronto is up 45% year over year, Ontario is up 35%, and mortgage investment entities are running at 1.96%. This isn't a U.S.-style foreclosure crisis, it's stress becoming visible unevenly, by lender type, property type, city, and capital structure.
Dan and Nick break down the renewal cliff that turned into a slow grind, why banks quietly hiked loan-loss allowances 25–51%, how policy shifted first-time buyers into insured, longer-amortization debt, and why a distressed seller doesn't always mean a distressed price. If you want to track the data yourself, realist.ca has a Canada-wide power-of-sale tool, and Valery.ca has the deeper GTA view.
