INTEREST RATES AND THE HOUSING MARKET

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Following the pandemic, mortgage rates had dropped to a historical low, making it an opportune time to buy a home. However, in efforts to keep inflation under control, the Bank of Canada’s overnight lending rates increased, causing mortgage rates to grow as well. The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is June 1, 2022.

Additionally, according to the CMHC’s Spring 2022 house market outlook, there has been a significant increase in migration numbers in 2021, and this pattern well continue well into 2024. This will ultimately lead to decreases in vacancy rates and increases in rental housing demand.

So what does this mean for consumers (and especially prospective homebuyers)?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR CONSUMERS AND PROSPECTIVE HOMEBUYERS?

Timing is of the essence. Now is one of the best times to get into home ownership. Taking the first steps and locking into a favorable mortgage option now could ensure that you are well protected against external factors in the outside market.

Along with the uncertainty of supply costs and the effects of economic fluctuations and global events, the importance of getting ahead of the game(show) has never been greater.
