""There is no single Canadian farmland market," Gervais cautions, noting that while the national average appears stable, regional dynamics are significantly influencing buyer behavior."
""Short term valuations are extremely high right now for farmland all across the country," Gervais states, highlighting the impact of elevated input costs and uncertain commodity prices on profitability."
""Limited land supply and long-term confidence in agriculture continue to support prices," Gervais explains, despite the pressures on profitability and debt servicing faced by producers."
In 2025, farmland values in Canada showed a national average increase of 9.3 percent, consistent with the previous year. However, regional variations reveal a complex market. Five provinces experienced faster growth, while five others slowed, with British Columbia seeing a slight decline. The Prairies, particularly Manitoba and Alberta, led in gains, while Ontario and Quebec saw smaller increases. High valuations relative to farm income and tightening margins due to elevated costs are influencing buyer behavior, leading to cautious purchasing decisions expected to continue into 2026.
