Key Points
- An interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada may lower monthly mortgage payments but won't solve the underlying affordability issues in the housing market.
- The Toronto housing market is experiencing price drops, providing opportunities for first-time buyers who were previously priced out.
- Rising mortgage arrears at Canada's Big Six banks and increasing unemployment in Toronto signal deeper financial stress that could impact the housing market.
