Proptech Canada: Real Estate Market has the fastest Growth of the G7

March 1, 2021

Canada has seen some of the fastest growing sectors for real estate technology & innovation and is becoming more prominent in its use of proptech due to the accelerated adoption of technology in the construction and real estate market’s.

Additionally, Canada’s real estate prices are growing 45% faster than any of the G7, with Real Estate prices increasing 2.93% in Q3 2020, a 8.27% increase versus the previous year. This annual growth is now the biggest of the G7 countries.

Growing almost 3x faster than the second fastest growing G7 country, Germany, the US Federal Reserve data shows real estate prices advanced most in the G7 in Q3 2020 with Canada at the top of the list.

In terms of Proptech in Canada, the fastest growing city in North America and home to America’s largest tech hub is Greater Toronto, with 24,000 companies employing 270,000 workers.

Some of the fastest growing categories within proptech are: rental management; building automation, property data and appraisal and digital construction..

This has prompted investment into Canada’s growing proptech ecosystem to aid growth in the real estate market with investors such as Colliers Proptech Accelerator and Reach Canada, two of the most notable, investing in approximately 10 global startups annually.

These Canadian proptech companies have raised more than $100 million in funding:

– flex space marketplace Breather has raised $162 million since 2012;
