The Bank of Canada held its interest rate at 2.25% today.

This is the 7th time in a row that rates have stayed unchanged.

So, what does this mean for future homebuyers?

For now, rates are holding steady.

The economy is showing signs of improvement, but inflation and trade uncertainty are still concerns.

Higher oil prices could also put some pressure on inflation.

The bottom line?

If buying a home is part of your 2026 or 2027 plan, you don’t have to wait for the “perfect” rate.

The best time to start is when you’re financially prepared and understand your options.

Knowing your budget, mortgage options, and potential monthly payment can help you make a confident decision when the right home comes along.

🏡 I’ve seen Abbotsford change A LOT since I was growing up here.

🚧 There’s been so much development, population growth, new businesses, and of course… a lot more traffic.

👀 But despite all that change, I think Abbotsford has done a pretty good job of holding onto what makes it special.

🎉 We still have local events that bring the community together, restaurants that support local ingredients and businesses, and that strong sense of community you don’t find everywhere.

🌾 There’s still a small-town feel to Abbotsford, even as the city continues to grow.

❤️ It’s really cool to see the city evolve while still maintaining that feeling so many of us grew up with.

🫐That balance between growth and community is a big part of what makes Abbotsford feel like home.

I think one of the most underrated hidden gems in Abbotsford is Restaurant 62.

They don’t get talked about enough.

They focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients with a true farm-to-table style approach.

The quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail are all incredible.

If you’re looking for a great spot in Abbotsford that deserves more recognition, definitely check this place out.

The Bank of Canada has decided to keep its key interest rate at 2.5%.

That means it did not raise or lower interest rates.

This is the sixth announcement in a row with no change.

For home buyers, that’s good news because borrowing costs aren’t increasing.

It also gives buyers and homeowners more certainty when planning their next move.

If you have a variable rate mortgage, there are no immediate changes because of today’s announcement.

If you’re thinking about buying a home, this is a good time to start planning instead of waiting for the perfect interest rate.

Many buyers have been sitting on the sidelines for months.

With rates holding steady, we’re seeing more people move forward because they have a better idea of what their monthly payments could look like.

Every situation is different.

If you’re thinking about buying, refinancing, or renewing your mortgage, feel free to reach out and let’s talk through your options.

The FIFA World Cup has been exciting to watch, but it’s also a great reminder of how major events can impact the economy.

When millions of people travel, book hotels, eat at restaurants, and spend money at local businesses, that activity creates a ripple effect throughout the economy.

According to BMO Economics, the tournament could contribute between $1.5 billion and $6.5 billion to Canada’s economy, with most of the gains coming from tourism, hospitality, and consumer spending.

As someone who follows the economy closely, I find this side of the World Cup just as interesting as the matches themselves.

It’s a good reminder that sports aren’t just entertainment.

They can create jobs, support local businesses, and generate meaningful economic activity in cities like Vancouver.

Whether you’re a soccer fan or not, it’s fascinating to see how one global event can influence Canada’s economy.

If you aren’t tracking every dollar coming in and going out, you’re always going to be wondering where your money went after payday.

A lot of people don’t realize how much they’re actually spending until they see it laid out clearly.

That’s why so many end up in the same cycle, paid, then tight again before the month is even over.

It’s rarely one big expense, it’s the small things that add up without being tracked.

Simply tracking your income and expenses gives you clarity and control.

Once you see it visually, you can make smart adjustments, stretch your money through the full month, and actually start building savings and stability.

Quick reminder.

Property taxes are due by midnight tonight.

If you haven’t paid them yet, make sure you get them in before the deadline to avoid penalties.

🏡 The Abbotsford market started picking up in April, with home sales increasing compared to both last month and last year.

📈 Sales were up 11% from March and 7% higher than April last year, showing more buyers are slowly getting back into the market.

📦 Inventory also remains high, which means buyers still have plenty of options and more negotiating power right now.

💰 This is still considered a buyer’s market, meaning there is less competition and less pressure compared to the fast paced markets we saw a few years ago.

🏠 Home prices have started increasing slightly for the second month in a row, which could be an early sign that the market is beginning to stabilize.

🏦 The Bank of Canada also held rates steady, giving buyers more confidence and consistency when planning their next move.

⏳ Right now, buyers have more time to make decisions, more inventory to choose from, and better opportunities to negotiate.

🤝 If you’re thinking about buying, refinancing, or just want to understand your options, now is a great time to have a conversation and build a plan.

The Bank of Canada has decided to hold rates.

Interest rates are staying at 2.25%

This tells us one thing clearly

They’re being cautious

Right now, inflation is creeping up again mostly because of higher gas and food prices driven by the Iran conflict

At the same time Canada’s economy is slowing

Jobs aren’t growing much housing is still tough for buyers and businesses are holding back because of uncertainty

So the Bank is stuck in the middle

Cut too early and inflation could come back strong

Raise rates and you risk slowing the economy even more

So they’re choosing patience

They believe inflation will drop back to around 2% next year if things stabilize especially oil prices

Until then, they’re watching closely and ready to react

What this means for you:

Rates aren’t dropping yet, but they’re also not going up

We’re in a holding pattern and the next decision will depend on where inflation and the global situation go from here
