10 h. ago Toronto rent prices continue to fall and are the cheapest they've been in years

Though Toronto is still very far from being considered an affordable place to live, rent prices in the city have been on a consistent downward trajectory for many months now, and the latest figures from March 2025 are no different.By the end of 2024, the average cost of an apartment in the Big Smoke had plummeted to the cheapest level it had been in more than two years, which has now extended into a whopping 32-month low.New reports from listing platforms like Zumper and Rentals.ca show that though it's still far pricier to nab a place in the GTA than almost anywhere else in the country, tenants are being afforded more financial wiggle room than they have in previous years, with the monthly rent of all sizes of units ever-lowering while the real estate market falters.As of last month, the typical one-bedroom unit in the region has dropped to around $2,300, marking a small reduction both month-over-month and year-over-year (by 0.4 per cent and ...

16 h. 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...
