📉 Canada's latest jobs report is in, and it could change the Bank of Canada's next move.

🇨🇦 Canada lost 68,000 jobs in September, and unemployment rose to 6.5%. That's the second month in a row we've seen job losses.

📊 What does this mean for interest rates?

Before today's report, there was growing talk of a possible rate hike this month. But the weaker job numbers have pushed markets away from expecting an October hike. A rate hold is now looking more likely.

🏠 What does this mean for your mortgage?
• Variable rates may stay where they are for now.
• Fixed rates can still move based on bond yields.
• Inflation, oil prices and the economy will all play a role in the Bank's decision.

⚠️ One thing to remember: rate predictions change constantly. Nothing is guaranteed until the Bank makes its announcement, and online headlines can fuel fear.

Don't make mortgage decisions based on one headline. Stay informed, understand your options and have a plan that works for you.

🚨 Mortgage rate update!

Oil prices have dropped back to around $70/barrel, which is great news for inflation—and that could be good news for fixed mortgage rates.

If inflation continues to cool and bond yields fall, lenders may have room to lower fixed rates in the coming weeks or months.

Nothing is guaranteed, but this is a trend worth watching if you’re buying, renewing, or refinancing.

A possible peace deal could have a bigger impact on your mortgage than you think.

If the deal holds, it could help reduce global uncertainty, ease inflation pressures, and improve investor confidence. That may create the conditions for lower mortgage rates in the months ahead.

For homebuyers, lower rates can mean:

✅ Lower monthly payments
✅ More purchasing power
✅ Easier qualification with lenders
✅ More options in the market

Nothing is guaranteed, but it’s a story worth watching closely.

If mortgage rates dropped by 0.50% tomorrow, would it change your plans to buy, sell, or refinance?

Canada’s latest jobs report is another sign the economy may be slowing faster than expected. 😳

Unemployment climbed to 6.9%, full-time employment declined again, and hiring momentum continues weakening across several industries.

This puts the Bank of Canada in a difficult position. 🤔

On one side, inflation risks still exist because of rising oil prices and global uncertainty. On the other side, a weakening labour market and soft housing activity make future rate hikes harder to justify.

If economic data continues slowing over the next few months, conversations around future rate cuts could grow stronger again. 📉

Nothing is guaranteed, and markets can shift quickly, but weaker employment data generally reduces the likelihood of aggressive Bank of Canada hikes moving forward.

For real estate, this is why many investors and experienced buyers are paying close attention right now while others remain fearful on the sidelines.

The market usually changes before public sentiment does.

Everyone was waiting for lower rates…

Well, rates came down. 🙌

So why doesn’t housing suddenly feel easy again?

Because this market is not moving the way most people expected. 👎

Yes — the Bank of Canada held at 2.25%.

Yes — borrowing costs are better than last year.

But lower Bank of Canada rates alone do NOT automatically create cheaper monthly payments or a booming housing market.

Why?

Because fixed mortgage rates are heavily influenced by bond yields, inflation concerns, and global uncertainty — not just one Bank of Canada announcement.

This is exactly why many buyers sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “perfect moment” may be misunderstanding what’s actually happening. 🤔

Here’s what we’re seeing right now:

✔ softer prices than 2024
✔ lower financing costs than last year
✔ less competition than a hot spring market
✔ more negotiating room for serious buyers

And historically…

the best opportunities usually show up when confidence is low — not when everyone feels comfortable again.

The buyers who understand the market before the headlines catch up are often the ones who benefit the most. ✅

Are you still waiting for rates to drop more before buying?

Canada’s latest inflation report came in at 2.4% — higher than last month, but importantly below expectations. That’s the part markets care about.

Bond yields (which drive fixed mortgage rates) don’t react to good or bad — they react to surprises. And today’s surprise leaned positive.

Yes, energy prices are heating up (gas up 21.2% 😳), and core inflation ticked up to 2.5% — not ideal. But overall, this wasn’t the “uh oh” report many feared given global tensions.

What this means for fixed rates:
• Short-term relief
• Slight downward pressure
• Not a full reversal
• Still data dependent

The reality? Fixed rates could hold or drift slightly lower near-term, but they’re not in a free fall. Rising core inflation and global oil risks (hello Middle East) are still very much in play.

Bottom line:
Better than expected = good for rates
But we’re not out of the woods.

If you’re watching rates closely, this is a step in the right direction — just not the finish line.

Rates have easily doubled compared to 5 years ago and that payment shock is real. 😳

Here’s one simple move to ease the pressure:

👉 Consider extending your amortization

Even increasing it by just 5 years could lower your monthly payment by $200–$500.

It’s not about paying forever — it’s about giving yourself breathing room right now. 🙌

In just 10 days, the market shifted fast.

Oil moved from about $67 to over $100 a barrel.
Canada’s 5-year bond yield moved from 2.67% to above 3%.

Why does that matter?

Fixed mortgage rates are priced off bond yields, and we’re now seeing fixed rates move up across the board.

War, oil prices, inflation expectations, and bond markets are all connected. When energy prices rise quickly, it can push inflation higher, and bond markets react fast.

That reaction is what lenders use when pricing fixed mortgage rates.

The big question now is what happens next and what the Bank of Canada says on March 18.

The past 10 days are a good reminder that markets can change quickly.
