๐Ÿก As expected, the Bank of Canada announced today that it will maintain its key interest rate at 2.25%, marking the fifth consecutive rate hold.

For buyers, sellers, and homeowners, today's decision means continued stability in borrowing costs while the Bank continues to monitor inflation and economic conditions.

The next rate announcement is scheduled for July 15, and many will be watching closely for signs of where rates may head in the second half of the year.

If you're wondering how today's announcement could impact your real estate plans, feel free to reach out.
