Key Points
- The Bank of Canada's decision to lower interest rates is making variable mortgage rates more attractive, but borrowers must consider their risk tolerance due to the unpredictable economic landscape.
- Despite a 16% drop in Canadian housing starts in August, year-over-year growth in centers with populations over 10,000 remains positive, driven by significant increases in cities like Vancouver and Montreal.
- Ontario is struggling to meet its 2025 housing target, having reached only 26 percent of its goal so far, with a notable decline in housing starts compared to other provinces.
