The acceleration of the core inflation sets a short -term edition under firm pricing, but pending trading news in March and April could discontinue interest in an unpredictable way. Mind you, that does not stop economists from trying it. Most predict lower rates in a mutual US Canada Tariff scenario.
In the meantime, the real estate market remains largely untouched despite the multi -year low. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, the benchmark property prices correspond to flat lines for a year.
This month doesn't look much better. Wahi, the digital real estate company Wahi, tells me the median prices in the greater Toronto (GTA) by 1.6 percent from February 15, but the new lists rose by 21.6 percent compared to the comparable period of comparison seasons.
