As inventory rises and demand decreases, so does the sale price. As inventory increases and demand decreases, the sale price decreases, indicating a market correction. Current market conditions favour buyers. Buyers and sellers must engage in thoughtful conversations with their REALTOR® and lending professionals rather than rely solely on media reports about future interest rate changes.

The latest data influencing the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decisions includes May’s inflation report. The Consumer Price Index rose unexpectedly to 2.9%, driven by higher services, mortgages, and rent costs. Core inflation also increased to 2.85%. Additionally, April’s GDP grew by 0.3%, surpassing expectations for the second quarter. With these numbers, hopes for another rate cut in July have diminished, shifting expectations to September. The following rate announcement is on July 24. Meanwhile, increased inventory and decreased sales are putting downward pressure on prices.
