The HOLM Stretch | August 23, 2024
Thanks for stopping by!
Hard to believe August is almost a wrap! How has your summer been? Are you ready for Autumn?
š Rates are Trending Down (More Cuts on the Way?)
Earlier this summer, the Bank of Canada made its first rate cut in 4 years, leading to a decrease in mortgage rates.
With a few more rate cuts anticipated throughout 2024, this is promising news for prospective buyers as the Bank of Canada is scheduled to meet early next month.
ā Who does this help?
1. Buyers waiting for the right time: This rate drop is a great opportunity for those who have been holding off on purchasing, waiting for a more favourable market.
2. Buyers facing affordability challenges: Lower rates can make homeownership more accessible for those who struggle with higher rates.
3. Sellers looking to buy: The drop in rates could also increase supply, benefiting those who need to sell their current home before purchasing a new one.
