Rate cuts boost housing demand faster than supply, BoC research finds
Recent research from the Bank of Canada highlights a dynamic many of us have seen firsthand: when interest rates drop, home sales surge quickly, but new construction takes longer to catch up. This imbalance between rising demand and slower supply tends to push prices higher—making affordability an ongoing challenge, especially when unemployment remains low. As someone who approaches real estate with an engineer’s eye for detail and long-term solutions, I see how these trends impact buyers and sellers in our community. While monetary policy can spark activity, sustainable affordability may rely more on effective policies that encourage new housing supply. Thoughtful planning and a focus on lasting solutions are at the heart of how I guide clients, helping them navigate both the opportunities and challenges in today’s market.
