The Bank of Canada holds rates for a fifth consecutive review, as was expected by economists and the market.

Citing inflation fears and economic growth rebounding from the previous quarter, the Bank has decided that holding steady is the safest option; this choice was made rather than an increase to cool an overheated economy or a decrease to kickstart a frigid one.

We’ll have another review in August, but as things stand now, rates are likely to be held again unless something changes dramatically in the economy at home or abroad.

Still have questions about what today’s rate decision means for your mortgage? Give me a call at 780-296-5747.

Big thanks to Prairie Pals Play Cafe for giving me the opportunity to sponsor one of their playhouses!

They have such a beautiful space for families there with great coffee and a really cool mix and pick your own snack platter!

What was your go to toy to play with when you were little? Mine was my Thomas the Tank Engine wooden train set!

For the fifth time in a row, the Bank of Canada has decided to hold interest rates.

Now, while this isn’t as welcome as a rate cut, this is still encouraging news for borrowers who value predictability. At the very least, the BoC is:

1. Focused on maintaining stability despite global economic and geopolitical uncertainty and…

2. Waiting for clearer signals before moving rates in either direction. Canada’s economy is not showing enough strength to merit a rate hike, but inflation pressures also mean the Bank is not comfortable moving toward another cut just yet.

Variable rates will continue to be held relatively stable, at least until the next announcement in July, thanks to this rate hold; fixed rates, on the other hand, may still see changes as they are tied to bond yields, which are different from the Bank of Canada’s policy rate.

The Bank of Canada holds rates at 2.25%. Despite rates not decreasing, the stability of remaining at 2.25 is still a net positive.

I strongly support my friends at Peace + Prairie Realty ensuring the safety of their team.

Violence against women is all too common and no one should feel unsafe in their place of work.

In light of hearing about multiple recent attack situations, our hearts truly go out to the woman in Calgary and to anyone who has experienced fear or harm while simply doing their job. No one should ever have to endure that.

Because of this, I want to be very clear about something…

The safety of our team is non-negotiable.
No home, no showing, no commission is worth compromising someone’s well-being.

Effective immediately, the following will be required prior to showing homes with our team:

• Full legal name
• Verified phone number and email address
• Valid government photo ID
• Mortgage pre-approval from a licensed mortgage broker (or verified proof of funds)
• Showing details shared internally (location + time)

These aren’t barriers, they’re professional standards, rooted in care, respect, and responsibility.

We trust our instincts.
We honour discomfort.
And we will always choose safety over convenience.

If a client isn’t comfortable with these steps, then we’re simply not the right fit and that’s okay.

To our fellow agents… please stay safe 🤍

The Bank of Canada cuts rates again by a further 0.25%!

Lenders will likely reflect rate decreases or changes in the coming days or next week.

The Bank of Canada maintains its interest rate at 2.75%, leaving itself room to lower in the future if need be; this decision was likely brought on by the Bank’s concerns over inflation and the continuing tariff/trade war situation between the United States and Canada.
