FINALLY, SOME ENCOURAGING NEWS...
Recent data from a Maru Public Opinion survey reveals that 44% of Canadians now believe the economy will improve over the next two months. This shift in sentiment follows the Bank of Canada’s recent interest rate cuts, signaling better days ahead for homeowners.
Lower interest rates typically mean more favourable mortgage terms and increased buying power.
John Wright, executive vice-president at Maru Public Opinion, noted that these rate cuts are "a tangible signal to consumers that things are on the right track for better days ahead."
This market is not perfect.
There are real concerns around affordability and the general lack of inventory, but the market is showing signs of renewed strength, and there’s a growing sense of optimism among consumers.
