Study: Homeownership, mortgage debt and types of mortgage among Canadian families, 1999 to 2016
Despite a slight decline from 2012 to 2016, Canadian families are more likely to own a home than they were two decades ago. However, the proportion of those who have paid off their mortgage has declined from 46% in 1999 to 43% in 2016, meaning more Canadian homeowners have a mortgage. This latter trend is consistent across all age groups.
