Bank of Canada holds policy rate YET AGAIN at 2.75%.

(UPDATED)

Today, July 30, 2025, the Bank of Canada has announced that it is holding rates yet again at 2.75%.

While the BoC cites tariffs as the biggest driver of uncertainty, the August 1 deadline is approaching fast. Canada urgently needs a trade deal, but its greatest obstacle is its own inaction.

The strong performance in investment markets, driven by economic success in the US, fosters apathy, causing us to overlook government actions while we focus on the gains from our smaller investments, neglecting our largest asset—real estate—until it’s time to sell.

The announcement of a trade deal for Canada by the August 1 deadline could change the economy and the real estate market overnight by restoring confidence. This shift in perception is likely to drive a significant increase in home and condo prices. Now is the optimal time to buy real estate before the market heats up.

UPDATE:

“Let’s hope there is an agreement. Let’s hope there is a good agreement (by August 1).” – Tiff Macklem

The best rates that we have seen so far:

3 year fixed at 4.14% (Increased from 4.09% in March 2025)

5 year variable at 4.20%

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is September 17, 2025.

Raising Awareness and Defending our Property Values

I try to raise awareness to counter an overwhelming litany of misinformation that seeks to impair our judgment in an effort to defend one basic belief that is under constant attack:

“The only way for honest people to elevate their lives is through their homes and their home equity, a sacred symbol of their labor, security, and hope for their children. This belief is what drives us to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.”

Breaking: Mark Carney Promises a US Deal by July 17 despite no acknowledgment from the US.

Canada’s future is riding on the next 30 days, as PM Carney promises a US deal by then. President Trump has yet to acknowledge such a commitment having been made.

Even if Prime Minister Mark Carney negotiated new trade deals with each G7 member other than the U.S., namely France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom, the combined economic size of these countries would not match that of the United States. Based on 2024 IMF data, the GDP of these five G7 nations totals approximately $17.5 trillion, while the U.S. GDP stands at around $28.8 trillion. This means their combined economic output is only about 61% of the U.S. GDP, falling short by roughly $11.3 trillion, highlighting the significant gap in economic scale.

This is why resolving the remaining trade disputes with the U.S. is vital for Canada. Canada cannot be “the last country that tries to negotiate a trade deal” because “the last will absolutely lose” (Eric Trump on X 2025-04-03).

Should Carney succeed, then confidence in the economy will surge. This shift in perception is likely to drive a significant increase in home and condo prices. Now is the optimal time to buy real estate before the market heats up.

Should Carney’s efforts fail, it looks like Canada will be receiving a “Take it or Leave it” letter, which President Trump has recently announced would be issued to countries without a trade deal with the US. The Prime Minister of the UK should be commended for being among the few to seize the opportunity for a trade deal with the US.
