What Today's Inflation Numbers Mean | March 2024

What Today's Inflation Numbers Mean | March 2024

We’re headed in the right direction. Let’s hope for more positive news tomorrow. February's inflation numbers came in lower than expected this morning at 2.8%. Economies had expected an uptick after a dip in inflation in January at 2.9%. Core inflation is also down which is what the Bank of Canada monitors closely. Shelter costs are still the biggest driver of inflation and if those were removed then we'd be close to the Bank of Canada's target of 2%. We’re unlikely to see a Bank of Canada rate cut in April but things are certainly trending in the right direction. Remember the Bank of Canada's rate decision directly impacts variable rate mortgages and lines of credit. We've seen a slight dip in bond deals this morning in response to the good inflation data but not big enough to warrant a decrease in fixed rates. Remember that the bond market directly impacts fixed-rate mortgages. The US Fed has their interest rate announcement tomorrow that will have a direct impact on the Canadian bond market because the US is Canada's biggest export partner and what happens in the States has ripple effects into Canada. Stay tuned for more updates and if you have any questions feel free to reach out we're always happy to help.

When Will Rates Come Down?

When Will Rates Come Down?

As we all know, the bank of Canada, maintained their overnight rate last week. Economists and the market are predicting that hopefully by the summer we’ll start to see a decrease in the prime interest rate. What’s interesting though is that since the beginning of the year, we’ve seen fixed rates, continuously decreasing. Right now we’re seeing fixed rates range from the high fours to low fives. This is great for two reasons: one, a lower rate improves your monthly cash flow and 2, with the lower interest rate, you have a lower stress test rate. This means you can qualify for a higher purchase price and mortgage amount. It’s interesting to note that fixed rates are funded off the bond market and the bond market has been relatively stable the last few months. this means that the discounts we’re seeing on fixed rate mortgages are coming directly from lenders. Lenders are open and they and they are hungry for business. No mortgage is created equal, so if you’re not sure whether to go fixed or variable, book a call and we can explore your options.
