Another Real Estate Market Impacted By Forces Outside Of Ontario Canada. Where are we headed? What is our Fall Market going to look like here at home?
Spring and Fall are the two busiest times in the real estate market no matter what is going on around the world. However for the last 12 months we have seen a lack of confidence in the economy that has affected the amount of homes that are being bought and sold. While uncertainty remains, what is clear is that this fall 2026 has seen an uptick in listings coming to the market.
Many buyers and sellers may choose to remain on the sideline until cooler heads and clearer pictures emerge, yet the reality is real estate continues to be bought and sold, and prices are still falling.
The greatest fear that consumers should focus their attention on this fall is the risk of rising mortgage rates. I made a post earlier this year threatening a coming storm of higher rates, and with it higher prices in the market as people adjust to higher borrowing costs. This fear is becoming more real as the Bank Of Canada grapples with the fallout from a trade war, global oil crisis, and instability in global markets, all things that lead to rising rates.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO THIS FALL.
Buyers: Start looking ASAP, higher rates do not help you.
Sellers: If you have a property that is in high demand there are sellers right now in the market ready to buy it.
New HomeOwners: Talk to your bank/mortgage agent, variable rates are still in the mid to high 3% range, fixed is rising daily to the mid to high 4% range.
