Key Points

  • The recent interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada is expected to boost the sluggish Canadian housing market by encouraging more home sales and price increases.
  • The Hamilton condominium market is currently experiencing a slowdown, which might present opportunities for buyers to negotiate better deals but also requires cautious consideration of long-term trends.
  • Ottawa's new Build Canada Homes agency aims to address the housing crunch by partnering with private developers and utilizing federal lands to construct factory-made housing units.
