Buyers are clearly feeling the weight of trade tensions, shifting oil prices, and persistent inflation concerns. As Canada bond yields push fixed mortgage rates higher, I\u2019m seeing clients become even more thoughtful in their decisions. The Bank of Canada has kept its policy rate steady, and with inflation hovering around 3% for the second month, some economists are already discussing the potential for easing in 2027.
