Montreal, April 16, 2025 – The Bank of Canada has decided to maintain its key rate at 2.75%. This stability is explained by economists’ desire to await developments in the ongoing trade war between Canada and the United States before making any adjustments.

Maintaining this rate continues to have a positive impact on the Canadian economy. In particular, it encourages consumer spending, since lower interest rates reduce borrowing costs for financial institutions, which can then offer advantageous terms to their customers. This favorable environment could encourage more buyers to realize their real estate projects.

While this decision is particularly favorable for buyers, it also has advantages for sellers. Increased demand on the real estate market, supported by easier access to credit, increases the likelihood of selling quickly at a competitive price. In short, the improvement in household purchasing power could breathe new life into the real estate market as a whole.

To better understand the impact of the 2.75% key interest rate on your real estate projects, don’t hesitate to contact our real estate brokers in Montreal.

Further decline in response to trade tensions between Canada and the United States

This decision comes in the context of growing trade tensions between Canada and the United States. Some economists predict that future tariffs imposed by the U.S. President, along with Canadian counter-tariffs, could put further pressure on inflation in Canada. This measure is largely intended to protect the Canadian economy from the impact of U.S. tariffs.

An opportunity for buyers and sellers!

Although some economists predict that this economic uncertainty could put off investors, it represents a real opportunity for buyers. Indeed, a reduction in the key interest rate generally leads to a drop in mortgage rates, making monthly payments more affordable and facilitating the repayment of home loans.

What’s more, this situation can also be advantageous for sellers, since with a greater number of buyers, properties should sell faster.

In conclusion, while this period can be stressful for some, it also offers many advantages for both buyers and sellers.

Montreal, January 29, 2025 – The Bank of Canada today announced a further reduction in its key policy rate to 3%. The 25-basis-point cut is part of ongoing efforts to control inflation and move closer to the 2% target.

Further reduction in key rate in the face of US economic threats

According to economists, many expected the key rate to remain at 3.25%. However, with the possibility of the Canadian economy soon being severely affected by new U.S. trade tariffs, this uncertainty could pose a real challenge for the country’s economy.

This new reduction is designed to adapt to changing economic realities, which could be seriously affected by the imposition of new business rates. On the other hand, this reduction could lead to lower mortgage rates, making home ownership more accessible for buyers.

This reduction in the key rate could have a positive impact on sellers, making it easier for them to sell their properties, as they are likely to sell more quickly. Indeed, a greater number of buyers would now be able to obtain mortgage loans, stimulating demand on the real estate market.

In conclusion, while this reduction is primarily intended to mitigate the effects of the new trade tariffs imposed by the United States, it could also benefit the Montreal real estate market. We encourage you to get in touch with our Montreal real estate brokers to make your next real estate project a reality.

Drop in Key Interest Rate to 4.50%: A Second Boost for the Montreal Real Estate Market

Montreal, July 24, 2024 – As anticipated, the Bank of Canada announced today a second reduction of its key interest rate, bringing it down to 4.50%. This 25 basis points decrease aims to reduce inflationary pressures, allowing inflation to approach its target of 2% in the coming months.

Impact on the Market

This rate cut is a breath of fresh air for many buyers who have been waiting for an opportunity to enter the market. With reduced borrowing costs and more accessible mortgage qualification thresholds, real estate activity is expected to increase significantly.

For sellers, a decrease in interest rates makes the market favorable for selling their property. With a larger number of potential buyers able to qualify for mortgages, the increased demand can lead to quicker sales.
