🏠 Is the Langley condo market starting to shift?

August 2024 vs. August 2026 the numbers tell an interesting story.

Purchase prices, interest rates, monthly payments and required income have all changed. But what does that actually mean for buyers today?

Watch the reel to see the comparison. 👀

3% INFLATION. SHOULD WE BE WORRIED?

August inflation landed exactly where expected…

But that doesn't necessarily mean the pressure is gone.

There are several things happening underneath the headline number that could impact interest rates and mortgage rates.

And one number in particular caught my attention:

📈 The Canadian 5-year bond yield is now at its highest level since May 2024.

So what's pushing inflation higher?

⛽ Gasoline: +22.8%
✈️ Travel tours: +26.1%
🏠 Rent: +2.8%

And what's helping keep it down?

🏡 Homeowners’ replacement costs: -1.9%
🔌 Household appliances: -5.5%
🏠 Other owned accommodation expenses: -1.6%

The headline might say 3%, but the story underneath is a little more complicated.

Do you think inflation is settling down, or are you noticing prices continuing to climb?

🔥 3.0% INFLATION. SHOULD MORTGAGE HOLDERS BE WORRIED?

July’s inflation report came in hotter than expected.

While CPI trim and median remain controlled in the Bank of Canada comfort zone for the month of July.

Is the bond market starting to warn us of a worrying trend with inflation and how could it impact interest rates?

Here is the list of the top influences month over month.

Top Upward Contributors
Gasoline 3.6%
Travel Tours 11.3%
Air Transportation 9..0%

Downward Contributors
Rent -0.5%
Traveller accommodation -4.0%
Purchase of passenger vehicles -0.4%

⏰ If you’re waiting for the “perfect” time to buy, watch this first.

The market has changed over the past two years, but looking at just one number doesn’t tell the whole story.

I compared the Langley condo market from July 2024 to July 2026 to see how the overall buying picture has shifted.

Some of the changes may surprise you.

Watch the video, then let me know: Would these changes affect your decision to buy?

Canada added 18,200 jobs in June, beating expectations, and the unemployment rate dropped to 6.5%.

At first glance, that sounds like great news.

But when you dig into the numbers, the story becomes a lot more complicated and it could impact where mortgage rates head next.

In this video I break down:

✔️ Why next week's Bank of Canada decision is becoming more predictable.
✔️ Why I'm keeping a close eye on inflation and bond yields.
✔️ The growing concern around manufacturing and what it could mean for Canada's economy.

Would you be better off buying today than you were 2 years ago?

Most people assume they already know the answer...

But when you compare the numbers side by side, the results might surprise you.

In this video, I compare what buying a home looked like 2 years ago versus today and break down the differences that many first time buyers overlook.

If you've been waiting for the "perfect time" to buy, this is a comparison you won't want to miss.
