PwC/ULI: Canadian investor buy sentiment just hit a 15-year high
The Emerging Trends 2027 report puts the aggregate buy rating at 3.61, the strongest in 15 years, with executives calling the bottom, while sell sentiment sits near record lows. Top bets for 2027: senior housing, retail and industrial.
Investor impact: competition for quality income assets is about to get crowded while owners still refuse to sell first. That bid-ask gap favours whoever brings sellers a reason to move, and it validates income-producing assets over development land.
