This week we had a tour of two of the recently finished units and of the common areas. There are 20 units, 4 of which are accessible. Built for homeless veterans, Homes for Heroes provides resources, services, training and 1 year of accommodation with the goal of living independently in the long term. Funding comes from the provincial and federal government, private donations, and they received ~$1,000,000 in gifts in kind from businesses in the area (e.g. flooring, paint, bedding).

So what does this mean?

Well, for homeowners, This stability means that your mortgage rates may not see a sudden increase, allowing you to plan your finances with more certainty.

Though, it's not relief if you're suffering under a variable-rate mortgage with high payments right now. For prospective homebuyers, this rate could be your signal.

With interest rates stable, now might be a golden opportunity to lock in a mortgage rate that won't break the bank.

And for home sellers, the market's just gotten a little bit more attractive. Stable rates often mean that more buyers are going to come onto the market.

Potentially making it easier for you to sell your home. Whether you're buying, selling, or just keeping track of your investments, the Bank of Canada's latest decision is pivotal.

It's all about planning, predicting, and acting at the right moment. The next rate announcement is April. And what I'm reading is economists don't think there's going to be a drop at that time either.

Stay informed, make smart decisions, and let's navigate the real estate market together.
