📣 **No Change from the Bank of Canada**

The Bank of Canada has decided to keep its benchmark interest rate at **2.25%**, signaling a wait-and-see approach as economic conditions continue to evolve.

For Canadians considering a home purchase, refinance, or sale, the latest rate announcement provides something many have been looking for: stability.

🏡 In today's market, certainty matters. With borrowing costs holding steady, buyers can continue to explore their options without the added pressure of a rate increase, while sellers can navigate the market knowing financing conditions remain consistent.

Although economic challenges remain, the Bank's decision suggests policymakers are taking a cautious approach while monitoring inflation, employment, and overall economic growth.

💡 What does this mean moving forward?
• Financing conditions remain largely unchanged
• Buyers have more time to plan their next move
• Sellers continue to benefit from active, motivated purchasers
• The housing market remains supported by predictable borrowing costs

As always, interest rates are just one factor influencing real estate decisions, but they play an important role in affordability and consumer confidence.

📲 Thinking about buying, selling, or simply curious about what today's announcement means for your local market? Reach out anytime for insights tailored to your situation.

📊 **MAY 2026 MARKET UPDATE | MORE CHOICE, STEADY PRICES & OPPORTUNITY FOR BUYERS**

The Metro Vancouver market continues to move at a measured pace as we head into summer, creating favourable conditions for buyers while keeping sellers competitive.

🏡 Residential sales totaled **2,150 homes in May**, down 3.5% from May 2025 and sitting 26.6% below the 10-year seasonal average.

A large part of the slowdown came from the condo market, where apartment sales were down approximately 7% year-over-year. Meanwhile, attached home sales remained relatively stable and detached home sales actually increased slightly compared to last year.

With **16,293 active listings** currently available across Greater Vancouver, buyers have significantly more selection than we've seen in recent years. Inventory levels remain approximately **36% above long-term averages**, helping create a balanced marketplace.

📉 **Greater Vancouver Benchmark Price**
$1,100,700
⬇️ 6.2% compared to May 2025

🏠 **Detached Homes**
Benchmark Price: $1,847,900
• Port Coquitlam: -6.2%
• Surrey: -9.9%

🏘️ **Townhomes**
Benchmark Price: $1,048,200
• Coquitlam: -5.1%
• Port Coquitlam: -7.1%

🏢 **Condos & Apartments**
Benchmark Price: $697,800
• Coquitlam: -8.8%
• Surrey: -9.8%

💡 Despite sales activity remaining below historical averages, benchmark prices have now posted modest monthly gains for two consecutive months, suggesting market conditions are stabilizing as we move through the summer season.

Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, investing, or simply keeping an eye on the market, understanding local trends can help you make confident real estate decisions.

📊 April Market Results Are In

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS reports that home sales remained relatively flat compared to last year, while a clear shift between market segments continues to emerge 🏡

📣 Bank of Canada Holds Rate at 2.25% - April 29, 2026

The Bank of Canada has once again held its overnight policy rate steady at 2.25%, as it continues to navigate evolving global economic conditions.

🌍 Ongoing trade uncertainty and energy market fluctuations remain key factors, while Canada’s economy is showing overall stability.

🏡 At home:
Consumer and government spending continue to support growth, though exports and business investment are still feeling the effects of global trade dynamics.

📊 Inflation update:
Core inflation remains slightly above the 2% target, but broader price pressures have been easing in recent months.

Tiff Macklem and the Governing Council reaffirmed that holding the current rate is appropriate while they continue to monitor economic trends and adjust if needed.

📆 Next rate decision: June 10, 2026

💬 What does this mean for real estate?
A steady rate environment can bring more confidence and stability for buyers and sellers navigating today’s market.

👇 What are your thoughts on this decision?
