A Few Things Worth Knowing About Real Estate Right Now
1. Mortgage rates don’t simply follow the Bank of Canada.
Fixed mortgage rates are influenced by bond yields, inflation, the economy and what’s happening in financial markets. So even when the Bank of Canada holds its rate, mortgage rates can still move.
2. Renewing your mortgage? Don’t wait.
Your renewal letter may make things easy—but easy doesn’t always mean best. If your mortgage is coming up for renewal, start exploring your options early. There may be better rates or strategies available.
3. Don’t count out the fall market. 🍂
Once Labour Day passes, routines return, buyers get serious and new listings often pick up. If you’ve been waiting for a better time to buy or sell, the next several weeks could be worth watching.
4. A conditional offer?
Financing and home inspection conditions can protect buyers from making a very expensive mistake. The best offer isn’t always the one with less conditions—it’s the one that makes sense for everyone and actually gets to closing.
5. You don’t have to be ready to move to call us.
Wondering what your home is worth? Thinking about a move? Renewing your mortgage? Or simply trying to figure out whether moving makes financial sense?
Let’s talk before you make a decision.
After all, a good real estate decision starts with good information—not pressure.
