Fewer Canada-based Redfin.com users were scrolling across the platform for US homes to buy or rent last month, according to a new data report from the Seattle-based brokerage.
In June, the level of Canadian searches for US properties was down 15.3% from one year earlier. That compares with a 10.1% annual decline recorded in May.
Redfin noted that Canadian searches for U.S. homes have dropped roughly 37% over the past two years, with the most significant decline coming in June 2025 with a 25.7% year-over-year plummet.
While declines were recorded in 45 of the largest US metro areas, Canada-based searches increased in five markets: Kansas City (+17.6%), New Brunswick, New Jersey (+11.6%), Nashville (+9.4%), Sacramento (+9.3%) and St. Louis (+9.3%).
“Canada’s economy is starting to recover after a weak start to the year, but uncertainty around trade, jobs, the domestic housing market and inflation is still prompting many Canadians to think twice about making a major purchase,” said Chen Zhao, Redfin’s head of economics research. “Buying a home in another country is a particularly big financial commitment, so it makes sense that some Canadians are putting those plans on hold.”
