📢 Bank of Canada Holds at 2.25% - Now What?

No increase. No decrease. The Bank of Canada is holding its key rate at 2.25%.
Why? Because there’s a lot going on.

The Canadian economy is showing signs of improvement, but higher oil and gas prices, new U.S. tariffs and Canadian counter-tariffs are adding a whole lot of uncertainty.

Inflation is hovering around 3%, but here’s the important part: take gasoline out and it was 2.2% in July.

So for now, the Bank is sitting tight and watching what happens next. 👀

What does this mean for you? 🤔

If you have a variable-rate mortgage or line of credit tied to prime, nothing changes today.

And a reminder: don’t make mortgage decisions based on headlines or guesses about where rates are going.

Your mortgage. Your numbers. Your life. Make the decision that makes sense for you.

Questions? Talk to your mortgage broker. 📞💬💻 That’s what we’re here for!

➡️ The next rate announcement is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28th, 2026. 🗓️

🏠💸 There’s truly a housing affordability crisis happening right now and it’s taking the biggest toll on new home buyers trying to enter the market – your adult kids. If you’re looking for options to help them with their home purchase, this series is for you.

The housing crisis your kids are facing isn’t just out-of-reach prices. There’s also stricter mortgage qualification guidelines (including the stress test), unemployment exceeding 7% in Canada in 2025, the growing gap between salaries and home prices, and a volatile condo market in Vancouver and Toronto - to name a few. 💰📈 So, here are a few ways to overcome the home-ownership barriers of this year and beyond.

4️⃣ Reverse Mortgage:
If the previous aren’t great options for your family, and you own your own home, you could consider a reverse mortgage. This would give you a lump sum or monthly installments of cash which you don’t repay until you sell your home. 🔄💰

📢 Regardless of how you choose to help, consulting a lawyer or mortgage broker is a good place to start. It can help you understand the legal implications of each option and be sure you’re making an informed decision. If you’d like to explore any of these further, with no cost or strings attached, reach out so we can set up a meeting. 📞💬💻
