Happy New Year 🎉🥂

2025 was the year of the pause—2026 might be the year of the pivot.

From record inventory to improved affordability, the GTA market sent mixed signals all year long.

Sales dropped to 25-year lows, but certain segments like entry-level homes and sub-$500K condos quietly outperformed.

With borrowing costs easing and demand building, all eyes are now on confidence.

As TRREB president, Elechia Barry-Sprodule puts it, “What buyers need most is confidence in their long-term employment outlook.”

If momentum continues, 2026 could mark a major shift.

Breaking News: The Bank of Canada Holds the Overnight Rate at 2.25%

This morning, the Bank of Canada kept its overnight lending rate at 2.25%, with the Bank Rate at 2.50% and the deposit rate at 2.20%.

Why? Inflation continues to trend in the right direction—2.2% in October—and core inflation is stabilizing between 2.5%–3.0%. Canada’s economy remains resilient, with recent employment gains and steady performance despite global trade and geopolitical uncertainty.

For homeowners and buyers, this means:
No surprise payment increases for variable-rate borrowers
