This year has been nothing short of remarkable for Ourboro! Together with you, our buyers, partners, and community, we’ve achieved incredible milestones and supported even more Canadians in achieving their dream of homeownership. 

The momentum this year has been especially exciting, with nearly 900 new homebuyer applications submitted by Canadians ready to take their first steps toward owning a home. 

Earlier this year we celebrated hitting 100 co-invested homes. And now, as of the end of 2024, we’ve officially co-invested in over 170!

Strengthening Our Network

Our Referral Partner network is thriving. Over 1,000 new partners joined the Ourboro family this year, a testament to our belief in collaboration. We had the privilege to meet many of these partners in person at various events and conferences, and we look forward to seeing even more in the coming year!  

We also announced exciting new partnerships with Home Trust and LiUNA—two organizations that are dedicated to creating opportunities for Canadians alongside Ourboro. These partnerships assist us in supporting aspiring homeowners and we’re so grateful to have them on board. 

These new collaborations, as well as our expansion into Ottawa, helped us take another step forward in our mission— investing $12 million alongside our co-owners. That’s a 50% increase compared to 2023!

Elevating the Conversation Around Homeownership

Ourboro’s drive to make homeownership more accessible captured national attention in 2024. From appearances on BNN Bloomberg and CP24 to features in Renx Homes and Mortgage Logic—we’re thankful these platforms were eager to encourage dialogue around housing accessibility challenges and how Ourboro is facing them head-on.

Ourboro’s Impact

2024 was also the year we shared the initial results from our 10-year longitudinal study with researchers from Conestoga College. Ourboro’s Baseline Impact Report explores whether participation in a shared equity model enhances a person’s quality of life compared to renting. 

The early results are in, and they’re looking promising: Ourboro homeowners are outperforming the control group in nearly every category. This is incredibly meaningful to us, as it reaffirms that Ourboro is making a positive difference in the lives of our co-owners

Looking Ahead

None of this progress would have been possible without the support of our buyers, partners, and community. So thank you. As we prepare for 2025, we’re more inspired than ever to continue growing, innovating, and helping Canadians unlock the door to homeownership. 

Here’s to another year of continued success—together. 

On behalf of the Ourboro Team, Happy New Year and thank you for being part of the journey.
