ome sales in Vancouver just hit their lowest point in six years, marking yet another painful milestone in what's quickly becoming one of the most uncertain and volatile real estate markets in decades. And if you're wondering why this is happening, just look at the bigger picture—consumer confidence in Canada just hit an all-time low. That's right—lower than the depths of the Great Financial Crisis, and worse than the early pandemic panic. Business confidence is in the same horrific state, and these weren't even recorded after Trump's tariffs took effect. With those now in place, pressure is mounting on the Bank of Canada as it faces a nightmarish economic puzzle: GDP is rising, inflation is expected to heat back up, the housing market is crumbling, and record levels of debt are coming due for renewal. Meanwhile, the March real estate data for Vancouver has just dropped, and we're breaking down all the key metrics—from collapsing sales volumes to rising inventory to surprisingly resilient home prices—and analyzing what all this means for home values for the spring 2025 market.Let's talk inflation. March came in hot at 2.6%, a big jump from the previous month's 1.9%, and far above expectations. Mortgage interest costs have fallen again for the 18th straight month, but inflation is now at a seven-month high, forcing the Bank of Canada into a tightening corner. And behind the scenes, 45% of businesses expect to raise prices more than 5% this year—double what it was just six months ago. While tariffs may warrant easing, inflation is pushing back hard, and markets no longer expect a rate cut in April. Meanwhile, GDP rose again—up 0.4% in January after a 0.3% climb in December—led by energy and mining. While the headline looks positive, remember: per capita GDP has been in decline for over two years. The BOC may take these numbers at face value, but it's a fragile recovery at best.South of the border, the U.S. Fed held its rate at 4.5% last month, with possible cuts later this year. But Powell made it clear: if inflation stays sticky, high rates could persist. Their GDP forecast was revised down and inflation up. The takeaway? If the Fed cuts, Canada could follow—especially as our economic risks grow and global trade uncertainty lingers. In the mortgage world, renewals are surging—up 110% year-over-year—and projections vary widely. BMO sees rates at 2% by end of 2026, while Scotia sees no cuts until 2027. The big banks don't agree, but they're all aligned on one thing: no hikes are coming. That's welcome news for those riding variable rates or planning their next move.New housing supply is in freefall. National housing starts dropped 4% month-over-month and 12% year-over-year, but BC is the epicenter of the downturn: starts plunged 22% just last month and are down 32% from last year. In Vancouver alone, they're off by 18%. This comes at a time when building permits are at rock bottom—meaning even fewer homes will be built in the years to come. While inventory is high now, the longer-term risk is a devastating shortage. Just look at the national data going back to 1972: while population growth has doubled, housing completions have actually declined. CMHC now estimates we'll be short 3.5 million homes by 2030. Add affordability and suitability issues, and we're heading toward a full-blown housing crisis. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

We’ve all heard it. Predictions are that mortgage interest rates are going down. Buthow far down? Our expert Realtors at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PremierProperties have looked at all the recent date on interest rates. Pat Karley and BryanBuhr say don’t look for any big drops in rates. Stability is the byword now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Why aren't mortgage rates dropping alongside interest rates? Last month, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates, but mortgage rates actually went up. One key reason is that mortgage rates aren't directly tied to those set by the Federal Reserve. Today, we're taking a closer look at this and exploring why mortgage rates often move independently of the Fed's rate changes.

This week has been monumental for Vancouver's real estate market, with several key factors influencing housing and the broader economic landscape. Inflation has officially hit 2%, marking a significant milestone for the Bank of Canada (BOC) as it reaches its target for the first time in nearly four years. While the broader inflation rate stands at 2%, if the mortgage interest component is excluded, inflation would be just 0.9%, signaling a rapid decline in core inflation metrics. However, rental inflation remains elevated at 8.6%, though this is expected to decrease in the coming months as rent prices have been falling for about a year, potentially pushing inflation even lower. As a result, markets are now pricing in rate cuts at every BOC meeting until at least the summer of 2025, with an estimated 1.75 basis points reduction by July 2025. The five-year bond, crucial for mortgage rates, is now trending downward at 2.7%, the lowest in over two years.On Wednesday, the U.S. Federal Reserve made a notable move by cutting its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point, the first such reduction in over four years. This marks a shift from controlling inflation to supporting a slowing labor market. The Fed's decision to lower rates from 5.3% to 4.8% signals a major adjustment as inflation in the U.S. has fallen from a peak of 9.1% in mid-2022 to 2.5% in August, aligning closely with the Fed's 2% target. Policymakers have indicated further cuts this year, with more anticipated in 2025 and 2026. Adding to the shake-up, the federal government of Canada announced that it will increase the price cap for insured mortgages from $1 million to $1.5 million, a surprise to both the industry and policymakers. While many in the real estate sector championed the change, it's important to examine who this adjustment really benefits. Although extending the amortization period to 30 years from 25 years helps reduce monthly payments by about 9%, it also increases the long-term interest paid by homebuyers, with an additional $80,000 paid over the life of a mortgage. More critically, this move likely pushes the price band of homes in this range up by 9%, doing little to address affordability. Historically, the CMHC was designed to help veterans and lower-income buyers, but this increase will likely push prices higher, benefiting banks and investors more than first-time homebuyers. With the minimum down payment on a $1.5 million home being $125,000, this policy change seems to cater more to affluent buyers, as only 15% of Canadian households could qualify for such a mortgage. Despite these hurdles, this adjustment will create more demand in the $1 million to $1.5 million price band, potentially driving prices higher, which contradicts the notion of increasing affordability.This week's developments reflect the complex and often contradictory forces shaping the Vancouver real estate market. Inflation is cooling, but rate cuts are on the horizon, and new policies, like the increase in the insured mortgage cap, seem to be helping banks more than first-time homebuyers. Housing starts are down, and developers are grappling with higher fees, all while household debt continues to climb. The fall real estate market in Vancouver appears to be on shaky ground, and without significant changes to housing policy or economic conditions, the outlook remains uncertain. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Even with falling interest rates in recent weeks, mortgage rates are still higher than you'd expect. Mortgage interest rates are usually a little less than two percentage points higher than what you would get on a 10-year Treasury bond. But for the last couple of years that difference has been noticeably higher: 2.6% at the moment. New borrowers have been paying potentially thousands of dollars extra each year on their mortgages. Today on the show, how mortgage interest rates work and why they're currently out of whack ... with new borrowers footing the bill. Related Episodes: Are both rents AND interest rates too dang high?

We all have experienced a pretty rapid run-up in mortgage rates since 2020-2021. Of course, no one knows where the top (or bottom) will be moving forward. But at least over recent history, rates have dropped a good amount to the point where there are mortgage opportunities for many to explore. On today's episode, we'll discuss the decision-making process of refinancing and get into other forms of equity lines of credit that can be appealing even for those with low-interest rate primary mortgages.
Mortgage Interest Rates have dropped over .75% in just over a month and likely to continue lower. In this video, we dive into why interest rates are expected to continue moving lower, despite recent highs. We explore the Federal Reserve's dual mandate and how their focus on price stability and full employment plays a crucial role in their decision-making. We analyze recent economic indicators, including inflation trends, job creation, and unemployment rates, to understand the factors influencing the Fed's actions. With insights from the bond market and current market expectations, we'll discuss the potential impact on house prices and what this means for homebuyers.

In June, inflation unexpectedly dropped from 2.9% to 2.7%, surpassing expectations of 2.8%. Despite this decrease, the shelter cost index remains a significant driver of inflation, with a current increase rate of 6.2%, compared to 4.8% last year. Mortgage interest costs surged by 22%, and rent has increased by 8.8%, marking the highest rise since March 1983. However, excluding shelter costs, consumer prices only rose by 1.3%. This better-than-expected inflation report led to market predictions of a 90% chance of a rate cut at the upcoming Bank of Canada (BOC) meeting. With employment at 22-year low and business insolvencies rising, a 0.25% rate cut seems likely, potentially bringing the current rate of 4.5% down, which we hope is still high enough to exert downward pressure on inflation. The impact on the housing market remains uncertain; another rate cut might increase the number of sellers, although buyers seem to remain on the sidelines. Retail sales data also supports the likelihood of a rate cut. Retail sales fell by 0.8% month-over-month, and excluding volatile items, they dropped by 1.4%. In 2024, retail sales increased in only one month and have been flat since 2022, despite a 6% increase in the population. This stagnation suggests that Canadian consumers are financially stretched, likely due to high mortgage payments. Housing starts provide further context to the economic challenges. In April, Prime Minister Trudeau promised to build 3.87 million homes by 2031. However, housing starts fell by 9% month-over-month in June and are down 14% from the same month last year. To meet Trudeau's target, housing starts would need to double from last year's levels, but they are currently 114% below the required mark. The situation is particularly dire in British Columbia, where starts fell by 12% and are 38% below June 2023 levels. In Toronto, new condo sales, a leading indicator for housing starts, are at their lowest since 1997. This decline contradicts the government's promises, with little incentive for builders to increase housing supply due to rising taxes, fees, and restricted access to affordable credit. The government's efforts have only expanded the size of the government by 42% since 2015, without noticeable improvements in efficiency.The Prime Minister and parts of his cabinet have also been flirting with the idea of a primary home equity tax with a government-funded think tank, Generation Squeeze. This proposed tax aims to address housing inequity by adding a surtax on homes valued over $1 million, supposedly affecting only the top 12% of high-value homes. Critics argue this approach is politically motivated and overlooks the real issues driving housing prices, such as immigration, development costs, and availability of credit - plus in markets where the average house price exceeds $1mil are many. Market updates indicate that housing prices fell in June for the first time in 2024 and are expected to drop further in July. As of July 29th, average prices were down by $68,000, and median prices by $10,000. Sales volumes are slightly lower than last year, indicating a slow market. The rest of the summer is expected to see a gradual decline, with potential market stimulation in the fall if there is a third rate cut and an increase in inventory. Overall, the Canadian economy is facing significant challenges with inflation, housing, _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Prices will continue to rise, on average 5 to 6% nationwide. -Some as much as 10%, some will be more stagnant. -What happens locally will depend on your inventory and the impact of new construction. -Rents will increase. -Defaults and distressed real estate isn't going to be an issue. 2. Mortgage Interest Rates will continue to trend downward. -Likely to stabilize in the low to mid 6% range. -Builders will still offer better interest rates through their in-house financing. -Assumable mortgages may become more prevalent. We are already seeing this happen. -5 and 7-year Adjustable rates will become more popular. 3. Inventory will rise as interest rates fall. -Most sellers are also buyers, so when there are more choices to move up or down to, they'll be more willing to list. 4. The number of Sales will rise. -This should climb back to the 5 million sale range, but that's still short of a 'normal' or balanced market. Increase in resale home sales by as much as 1,000,000 units. -Sellers will continue to be in control. 5. Agent Migration from small and medium-sized brokerages to larger brands. -Result of commission lawsuit -Result of shrinking profits -Brokerages like EXP are rising due to agent-centric opportunities beyond just commissions 6. Effect of the Commission Lawsuits: Too soon to tell, however... -Watch for local MLSs to 'decouple' from NAR. Membership to NAR will drop but that doesn't mean agents are quitting real estate. -Flexibility of buyer-side fees may become more normal. -Power of state and local boards will increase if NAR's influence decreases 7. New AI empowered Team (and Brokerage) models will thrive. - AI empowered agents will rule the roost. -Expect AGI (beyond AI) to be the biggest reality bender since the Industrial Revolution or even the Tech Revolution. -Soon AI will do all of your social media and other passive lead generation for you. -AI will allow individual agents to operate as if they had a big (and expensive) team. -AI will enable agents to not just lead generate but also do initial prequalification and even presales. 8. New Construction will continue to be hot. -Impact on the resale market -Don't expect builders to flood the market; they control their own inventory -Smaller floorplans -New construction prices already have adjusted down by 5% 9. New Mortgage Programs will flourish. (and new Fin-Tech) - Expect home ownership and mortgage access to become a very hot political topic. The average age of a first time buyer is now close to 40! - 40 year mortgages. Automatic rate reductions when the rates fall etc. - Homes will be securitized by the owner. Imagine being able to sell off the value of 10% of your home to an investor. Investor gets paid 10% of the homes value when the home sells. Their 10% investment could be used towards downpayment etc. - Fannie and Freddie will be purchasing MBS (mortgage backed securities) - Federal Reserve will purchase MBS. 10. 2024 will be the start of the New Roaring 20s. - 2024 is the start of a new bull run for home sales. You thought the last boom was big...just wait. 2023 WAS the worst year for total home sales in nearly 40 years. 2023 was the bottom of th market.
