🚨 Good news if you have a variable-rate mortgage!

The Bank of Canada held its Policy Rate steady once again — for the seventh consecutive time.

So, for now, if you have a variable-rate mortgage, your payment should remain unchanged because of the Policy Rate.

But don’t stop watching the market. 👀

Over the next 3 to 6 months, the tariffs imposed by Trump and their impact on the Canadian economy could put upward pressure on inflation. And if inflation rises, the Bank of Canada may eventually need to increase interest rates again — which could directly affect variable-rate mortgage payments.

So, if you’re thinking about buying, selling, refinancing, or renewing your mortgage, it’s important to keep a close eye on what’s happening in the market.

The global economy has a much bigger impact on Canada than many people realize. 🌎🇨🇦

Good news today — but let’s keep watching what happens next.

🚨 THINKING OF SELLING YOUR HOME THIS YEAR?

Before you put a price on it, make sure you’re NOT making these 3 common mistakes.

❌ Comparing your home only to what’s currently listed
❌ Assuming every dollar you spent on renovations will come back
❌ Letting your emotions determine what your home is worth

Your home may be special to you — but pricing it correctly means looking at it through the eyes of the market and the buyer.

So what SHOULD actually determine the right price?

👉 That’s coming in my next video.

Follow along — because pricing your home correctly can make a BIG difference. 🏡

Never Underestimate Your Financing Condition!

A financing condition can be one of the most important protections in an offer.

Recently, my clients had a 5-business-day financing condition. During that time, the bank required an appraisal — and the property came in $20,000 below the price we offered.

Because we had the financing condition in place, we were able to go back to the sellers and negotiate. They didn’t want to lose the deal, and we ultimately agreed on a $10,000 reduction.

My clients saved $10,000, the sellers kept the deal, and everyone walked away happy. 🙌

This is why having a realtor who understands the process, protects your interests, and knows how to negotiate matters.

If you’re thinking about buying and want someone who will look beyond simply getting the deal done, let’s talk. I’d be happy to walk you through the process and explain how to protect yourself every step of the way.
