It has been suggested that a further rate increase will be announced on September 7. While such an increase will certainly dampen market activity for the fall, other economic factors, like employment and immigration, remain strong. As we head into 2023, this should bode well for setting off a chain reaction of increased activity.

Those that price their condos in accordance with these market dynamics and in a reasonable price progression will have no trouble selling. Those that base their pricing outside of market justification will continue to build up their “Days on the Market”, which will only amplify the doom and gloom reported by the media.
