Market Minute – September 2024

In line with the expectations of economists, real estate aficionados, and indeed the broader Canadian populace, the Bank of Canada announced a reduction in interest rates by 25 basis points on September 4th, 2024. With two policy meetings remaining this year, the financial community is abuzz with predictions of further rate reductions. Notably, a significant number of experts are forecasting at least five rate cuts by June 2025.

This pivotal decision by the Bank of Canada, coupled with the prospect of additional cuts, is set to send ripples through the real estate market. Lower borrowing costs traditionally boost affordability, thereby catalyzing market activity. As we move into the fall, we’re poised to witness an uptick in real estate transactions, all while maintaining price equilibrium.

The current climate firmly positions us within a buyer’s market, presenting a golden opportunity for potential buyers to negotiate advantageous deals on prime properties at equitable prices. For sellers, the message remains clear: adopt a pragmatic approach to pricing. Remember, the market ultimately dictates value, and our strategic pricing has consistently aligned within 3% of our initial estimates, resulting in high satisfaction levels among both our buying and selling clientele.
