9 d. ago Here's the salary you need to earn to afford a home in Toronto right now

It may be one of the worst times in years to try and sell a home in Toronto, but conversely, those in the market to buy a property may be able to land themselves somewhat of a deal (relative to the city's infamously ludicrous prices, that is).Prices are finally starting to erode in the face of a terribly stagnant market, most notably in the condo sector, where fewer units are changing hands than ever in the last three decades.According to the latest data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the average price of the typical GTA condo fell 2.6 per cent from March 2024 to the month prior, while the average price of a home of any type is down a similar 2.5 per cent over the same period.Sales have dropped a staggering 23.1 per cent year-over-year, while active listings have shot up 88.8 per cent, giving buyers the advantage of choice and negotiating power.As such, along with a Bank of Canada mortgage rate cut in March, the annua...

2 w. ago Another Bank of Canada interest rate cut is on the way and here's what could happen

Amid times of economic uncertainty — an upcoming federal election and tense relations with the U.S. — Canadians are waiting for the next Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate announcement.The central bank has made two 0.25 per cent cuts to its key interest rate so far this year, with the last one on March 12 bringing the rate to 2.75 per cent.That announcement came a week after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods, and Canada retaliated with counter-tariffs. The BoC claimed the Canadian economy entered the year in a "solid position," saying GDP showed robust growth, and inflation was finally close to the two per cent target.However, with economic aggression from the U.S., BoC officials predicted a slower pace of economic activity and increased inflationary pressures in Canada. The latter concern contributed to the decision to lower the policy rate by a quarter point.The last BoC update did not come with an extensive m...
