Bank of Canada Holds Overnight Rate Steady at 2.25%

 

By Dr. Sherry Cooper, Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres

The Bank of Canada held the policy rate steady at 2.25%. This is the bottom of the Bank's estimate of the neutral overnight rate, where monetary policy is neither expansionary nor contractionary. With inflation hovering just above 2% and core inflation between 2.5% and 3%, the Governing Council sees the current overnight rate as "about right."

According to the press release, "The Bank expects final domestic demand to grow in the fourth quarter, but with an anticipated decline in net exports, GDP will likely be weak. Growth is forecast to pick up in 2026, although uncertainty remains high and large swings in trade may continue to cause quarterly volatility."

In the United States, economic growth is supported by strong consumption and a surge in AI investment. The US Federal Reserve is likely to cut its policy rate by 25 bps to 3.5%-3.75% as President Trump lobbies Chair Jay Powell for more dramatic rate cuts.

Start Strong: Why Pre-Approval Gives Buyers the Edge

 

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is an important first step when buying a home. It shows how much you can afford, what your interest rate may be, and what your monthly payments could be, helping you stay within your budget.

Pre-approval also makes you a stronger buyer because sellers know you are serious and ready to buy. It can help your offer stand out in a competitive market. Most importantly, it lets you fix any credit or income issues early, making the home-buying process smoother and less stressful.

Exploring Europe: Our Unforgettable Adventure

 

A few months ago, nine friends—including me and my husband—set off on an unforgettable European adventure, exploring the vibrant cultures of the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and France.

We wandered through Amsterdam’s Red Light District by night, stood in awe beneath the towering spires of Cologne Cathedral, indulged in endless cheese and chocolate in the charming streets of Switzerland, and shared an epic lunch high in the French Alps while soaking in breathtaking views of the world-famous Mont Blanc.

But the true highlight of our 21-day trip was driving through the northern countryside of France—from the charming villages of Brittany, like Sarzeau, Plonévez-Porzay, Roscoff, and Saint Malo, to the peaceful towns of Normandy such as Nouans-les-Fontaines. We cruised along hidden backroads, discovering picturesque spots, soaking in stunning landscapes and savouring varied, authentic French cuisine. This unforgettable journey led us to the crown jewel: the magical Mont Saint-Michel rising dramatically from the tides of Normandy. It was the perfect ending to a trip we’ll always remember



Renewal Readiness: Steps You Should Take Every 5 Years

 

Many borrowers treat mortgage renewal as a routine task. They receive a notice from their lender, sign it, and move on without asking questions. This can lead to paying much more interest than necessary. A renewal is actually a great chance to negotiate better terms, since lenders want to keep your business. Starting early gives you time to prepare and puts you in a stronger position to ask for a better deal.

To prepare, begin reviewing your finances six to twelve months before renewal. Check your income, credit score, future plans, and monthly budget to see what you can improve. This is also a good time to rethink your mortgage plan, compare rates from different lenders, and review the fine print of your current loan. Some borrowers may even benefit from switching lenders if better options are available. With early planning and careful review, a mortgage renewal can help you save money and set yourself up for the next five years with confidence.

Please contact me for a complimentary and confidential mortgage review  so we can assess your current situation and how you may save when you renew your mortgage.
