Interest Rates Increase to 10.5% | What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
The prime lending rate has increased by 0.25%, bringing it to 10.5%.
While rate increases often sound negative, the property market continues to show resilience, and there are still strong opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
For buyers, property remains one of the most stable long-term investments. A small rate adjustment should not stop you from securing the right home, especially before prices move higher in future.
For sellers, motivated buyers are still active in the market, particularly those who are financially prepared and pre-approved.
Now more than ever, working with a knowledgeable property professional helps you make informed decisions and plan with confidence.
