Market commentary

The condominium market has taken a significant hit over the past year, driven by low buyer confidence stemming from unresolved Canada–U.S. trade issues, a federal budget deficit approaching $80 billion, and persistent inflation. Despite these challenges, Palace Place has proven remarkably resilient when properly marketed, as discerning buyers recognize its superior construction quality, its wide range of spacious suites, and arguably the most stunning views in the city.

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.

Market commentary

The condo market has taken a punch over the last year due to low confidence in the market from the delayed resolution of the remaining trade issues between Canada and the USA, but Palace Place, when marketed properly, has proven resilient, as astute buyers recognize its quality of construction, wide range of spacious suites, and the most beautiful views ever.

Bank of Canada DROPS policy rate for a second time to 2.25%.

Today, October 29, 2025, the Bank of Canada has announced that it is dropping rates for the second time to 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, this second rate reduction is the next best thing to help restore confidence back into the market. This news should bode well for market activity over the coming month.

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 3.95%

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is December 10, 2025.
