The Bank of Canada did what was expected, and held the rate again today(June 10th). And going forward the expectation is another rate hold in July.
Therefore Market conditions should remain the same with prices continuing to stabilize and inventory climbing. Great conditions for first time buyers, and owners wanting to upgrade/upsize property types(condo to townhome, or townhome to detached). Time to go bigger!

🏦Bank of Canada Rate Update - 29th April 2026

The Bank of Canada has officially held its key interest rate at 2.25% in this morning's announcement.
This decision comes as no surprise, with most economists widely expecting a hold amid a mixed economic backdrop. Inflation is still sitting within the Bank's target range (around 2-3%), while economic growth remains modest and somewhat fragile.
What this means:
• Variable-rate mortgages: No immediate change — payments remain stable for now
• Fixed rates: Still influenced by bond markets, which may continue to fluctuate based on global uncertainty
• Buyers & refinancers: A continued "wait-and-see" environment from the Bank

🚨🚨Similar to the March market report, it’s an opportune time for first time buyers, upsizers-(condo to townhome, townhome to detached.)
