For buyers, this rate reduction potentially means lower borrowing costs, which could make purchasing a property more accessible. On the sellers’ side, a decrease in interest rates makes the market favorable for selling their property.
In essence, this decrease in the key interest rate offers opportunities to both buyers and sellers, while reflecting the efforts of the Bank of Canada to support the national economy.
