Interest Rate Update:
Bank of Canada Increase
On April 13, 2022 The Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate by the highest amount in more than 20 years, half a percentage point. If you would like to discuss this, please do not hesitate to reach out and we can connect you with our local mortgage brokers to explain how this affects you and your buying power.
“Home sales in the province continue to moderate from record highs of this time last year,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “Given the sharp rise in Canadian mortgage rates and expected tightening from the Bank of Canada, activity will likely slow further in the second half of this year.”
