    Canada's Economic Crossroads: Inflation, Housing, and Fiscal Challenges Explained

    You’d think the housing world would quiet down by mid-December, but this week has been packed with significant developments. Inflation data showed a continued cooling trend, with November’s rate at 1.9%, marking four consecutive months below 2%. The shelter component also eased, but rents defied expectations, rising 7.7% year-over-year nationally despite sharp declines in major cities like Vancouver, where rents are down 10%. Rate cuts are back on the table, with the Bank of Canada expec...

    Bank of Canada Slashes Rates: What It Means for Mortgages, Housing, and the Economy

    The Bank of Canada (BoC) lowered its policy rate by 50 basis points this week, bringing it to 3.25%, the lowest level in over two years. This significant cut, which follows weaker-than-expected GDP growth and rising unemployment, has increased buying power for borrowers by 21%, enabling higher mortgage affordability. However, questions remain about whether these rate cuts are sufficient to revive the economy and ease challenges for mortgage holders renewing at higher rates in 2025. Despi...

    6 Key Reasons Why Interest Rates Are Set to Keep Falling

    This week in Canadian real estate, fresh GDP data revealed slower-than-expected economic growth. Canada’s economy grew by 1% year-over-year in the third quarter, with GDP rising only 0.1% in September. On a per capita basis, GDP actually declined for the seventh consecutive quarter, reflecting further economic challenges. These weaker-than-anticipated numbers have shifted market expectations for a potential rate cut in December, with a 33% probability now placed on a 50-basis-point reduction....

The Bank faces a delicate balancing act with inflation on target, GDP revisions upward, and the U.S. economy remaining strong. Projections suggest we’ll see modest rate cuts early i...

    Canada’s Housing Market: GDP Surprise, Falling Rents, Trump Tariffs & Mortgage Wars

    This week, six critical factors emerged that could significantly influence the Canadian housing market in the coming months. First, Statistics Canada revised GDP figures upward, adding 1.3% growth between 2021 and 2023, equivalent to an entire year of economic activity. While this suggests a stronger-than-expected economy, it complicates the Bank of Canada’s recent rate-cutting strategy. Markets now anticipate a 0.25% rate cut in December, with a 60% chance of a larger 0.50% cut, which could ...

    Vancouver Real Estate Market Update for November 2024

    In October, Vancouver’s real estate market exhibited mixed signals. Despite a continued decline in home prices, with the benchmark HPI dropping for the fifth consecutive month by 0.6%, a surprising surge in sales emerged. Total sales jumped 43% from September and 32% year-over-year, marking October 2024 as the third-highest sales month of the year and the most active October since 2021.
