15 MORE Canadian Towns Where Brand-New Homes Are Sitting EMPTY (2026)

Nearly 20,000 brand-new homes across Canada are sitting empty — and this is no longer just a Toronto or Vancouver problem. From Burnaby and Vancouver to Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Leduc, and Fort Saskatchewan, completed homes are sitting dark while buyers struggle with affordability. The shocking part? Some Canadian towns have seen vacant homes more than double, while Toronto is facing an enormous pileup of unsold new condos. The problem isn’t simply a lack of housing — it’s a mismatch between what builders are producing and what buyers can actually afford. And there may be an even bigger problem ahead: today’s empty homes could contribute to tomorrow’s housing shortage if developers stop building. Which Canadian town shocked you the most?
