Bank of Canada reduces policy rate by 50 basis points to 3¼%. Canadians still lack confidence in the market and desperately need change from Trudeau down.

Today, the Bank of Canada has announced its fifth consecutive policy rate drop to 3.25%.

Condo buyers, who have remained on the sidelines for all of 2024, should take great comfort from this announcement, as it signals the time to buy. Prices will ultimately increase as the cycle of sales starts again. Unfortunately, many current buyers still lack the confidence to act given the turmoil, challenges, and uncertainty of the past year.

Because of what we call “herd mentality”, it typically takes 1.5 weeks for the buyer market to react to rate announcements. This news bodes very well for Palace Place going forward, and it demonstrates that the time to buy is now as prices should increase as activity increases.

Canadians need change, and it needs to start at the top. Trudeau needs to go. Canadians can literally smell the freedom and change coming to the USA and desperately need the same hope.

Best rates that we have seen so far:

5 year fixed at 4.29%

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is January 29, 2025.

In today’s Globe and Mail: Luke Dalinda talks condo market & Palace Place sales!

In today’s Globe and Mail: Luke Dalinda talks condo market & Palace Place, 1 Palace Pier Court sales!

Mr. Dalinda is urging sellers to hold firm to their prices.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/toronto/article-toronto-condo-buyers-are-out-there-but-taking-their-time/

“Luke Dalinda, real estate agent with Royal LePage Real Estate Services, says some buyers believe that real estate prices will increase as interest rates decline.

As a result, they are looking to purchase before 2025, when they figure the market will ramp up.

He has been involved in a flurry of recent transactions in the city’s west end.

But not everyone shares that view: the agent says a “herd mentality” is still apparent in some buyers. They are betting that prices have farther to fall.

Mr. Dalinda is urging sellers to hold firm to their prices.

At Palace Place, One Palace Pier Court, for example, two-bedroom unit 4010 sold for the full asking price of $1,000,000 after 30 days on the market.

A one-bedroom unit at the same address was listed with an asking price of $649,000 and sold after three days for $630,000.

At 33 Shore Breeze Dr., unit 3108 was listed with an asking price of $599,000 and sold for $575,000 after seven days.

The buyers Mr. Dalinda sees circulating these days are looking for usable layouts, he says.

“Smaller ‘shoebox’ condos, on the other hand, will continue to struggle due to their unusable layouts, cheap finishes and shoddy construction,” he says.”

Bank of Canada reduces policy rate by 25 basis points: The time to buy at Palace Place, 1 Palace Pier Court is now!

(Updated)

As we had reported about the importance of today’s announcement, the Bank of Canada has dropped its rate by 0.25% as predicted.

While this drop is minor, it more importantly signals an end to the high rate uncertainty that had been experienced since the Bank of Canada began raising rates in March 2022. Buyers should take great comfort in this announcement.

This news bodes very well for Palace Place going forward and demonstrates that the time to buy is now as prices should increase as activity increases.

UPDATE:

In response, the banks have already followed with 5-year mortgage rates as low as 4.89%.
