Bank of Canada holds rates at 2.25%.

Today, December 10, 2025, the Bank of Canada has announced that it is holding rates at 2.25%.

The Canadian economy would gain significant stability from a robust trade agreement with the United States, provided the government can overcome its ineffective negotiation efforts.

While such a critical deal remains in limbo and uncertainty in the economy persists, the decision to hold rates signals that now is the time to buy. This news should bode well for market activity over the coming months if buyers recognize the opportunity rather than continuing to sit on the sidelines, as the next announcement could be an increase.

The best rates that we have seen so far:

3 year fixed at 3.89% (decreased from 4.24% in September 2025)

5 year variable at 3.70%

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is January 28, 2026.

Luke Dalinda talks about Toronto’s Waterfront in today’s Globe!

Read the article here:

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/toronto/article-waterfront-condo-sellers-face-herd-mentality

“When someone gets slaughtered with a low sale, it’s all over social media. That can create a false impression that all properties are selling at fire sale prices, he says. In September, the lowest price-per-square-foot recorded in the area was $550, he says, while the highest tally was $1,027 per square foot. Around the $800-per-square-foot mark is the sweet spot for luxury properties in the area, he adds.”

Breaking News: Humber Bay Shores say goodbye to Sobeys and shopping at 125 The Queensway

An application is currently underway to redevelop the land that is now occupied by Sobeys, the LCBO, and Shoppers Drug Mart at 125 The Queensway into 7 condominium towers ranging in size from 47-storeys to 50-storeys or taller.

With Humber Bay Shores already oversaturated with condominium towers, these 7 new towers are certainly unwelcome news to our community. It is our view that if you are going to build something, build good, quality construction, not more, cheap shoebox condos.

We encourage residents to oppose more new construction, especially given that the 28-acre Mr. Christie’s Bakery site will have another 15 condo towers coming soon.

A virtual meeting has been scheduled to discuss the proposal on September 25, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Visit www.toronto.ca/CPconsultations for the registration link and instructions on how to join.
