Key Points
- Condo prices in the Greater Toronto Area have hit a four-year low, declining by 9.3% from the previous year and 21% since February 2022, due to reduced demand and an influx of new supply.
- The uncertainty surrounding mortgage interest rates is causing confusion among Canadian homebuyers, with a recent TD survey showing a divided outlook on whether rates will climb, drop, or remain steady.
- Despite CIBC's 11% increase in net income, rising mortgage arrears in Toronto and Vancouver highlight financial strain on households, emphasizing the need for robust financial planning and guidance.
