The Bank of Canada has maintained its rates, aligning with widespread expectations. However, the real estate market has witnessed some interesting dynamics in recent weeks and months in anticipation for rates to fall. Join your host, Alex McFadyen, as he discusses this announcement with Matt Scalena, co-host of the Vancouver Real Estate Podcast, highlighting the potential future ups and downs in the market. The hosts speculate that the housing supply issue might continue to inflame the market even if rates drop. The Bank of Canada, in alignment with its US counterpart, has hinted at a slow decline in rates upon hitting a 2% target for Canada's core inflation. This discussion suggests a heightening real estate market activity in the spring, and it purports that market conditions have surpassed the lowest point.
