Bank of Canada Cuts Rates Again, Housing Market Remains Stagnant

Despite a third consecutive rate cut, experts say the impact on the housing market will be minimal in the short term.

  • The Bank of Canada lowered its benchmark interest rate to 4.25%, marking the third consecutive cut.
  • Real estate experts believe that the current rate cuts are insufficient to significantly boost housing market activity.
  • High home prices and debt levels continue to deter potential buyers despite lower borrowing costs.
  • Fixed-rate mortgage holders will not see immediate benefits until renewal, while variable-rate holders see slight relief.
  • Economists predict further rate cuts may be necessary to stimulate the housing market and broader economy.
