  • As we start to move into the later half of May, and get closer to the next Bank of Canada (BOC) interest rate announcement on June 5, 2024, there is a lot more chatter going on as to when the BOC will make their first rate cut to the overnight interest rate.
    In today’s video, Surrey Real Estate Specialist, Steve Karrasch of Macdonald Realty provides his opinion on when he believes the BOC will start to cut rates and more importantly what effect rate cuts will have on the real estate market and consumer sentiment.

      @@bilsid no. The reason why houses are the way they are is because low interest rates allow people who maybe shouldn’t be buying a house at that point in time to purchase more than they have purchasing power for. It also allows people to use housing as an investment with a greater return than actually investing their money in the economy and making Canada a better place.
      Higher investments force people to save more to purchase their house enforcing better spending habits and it fights purchasing housing as an investment.

    Hi Steve. I'm going to take the bold position of disagreeing with you and what most people are anticipating that there will be no cut this summer. My reasoning is simple, and I'm being serious, I don't think that things have become bad enough. If the economy stabilizes at 5%, which is still a real possibility, I don't see the BoC having any incentive to cut rates. Additionally, and not a swipe at you or anyone else, but if people continue to assume that they will cut, this 'may' influence the BoC's decision not to make any rate cut. Anyways, hope your doing well and see you next time!

  • @billcarruth8122

    I think if Canada cuts rates ahead of the US, but the US cuts rates within 6 months so the difference between rates stays marginal, then the pressure on our dollar would also be marginal. Our exports would see a benefit. The main downside that people might actually feel is when purchasing their toys from abroad. Pretty sure everything we purchase in Canada comes from abroad.

    I think you’re right: rates will drop later than everyone thinks, and I think they’re gonna drop by less than everyone wants. We are at the “average rate” over a 30 year history. Everyone thinks they’re “high.” They’re not. This is normal. What we saw during Covid wasn’t. Trying to plan based on rates is a fool’s game. Buy the most house you can. Pay it. You’ll be rewarded long term.

    I think a first cut in July then a pause in t and then another quarter cut after that. Beyond that is even more of a guessing game. Too many variables.
    I think the first interest cut will spur buyer sentiment and uninformed buyers will dictate the gradual upward long term trend in prices. It will be slow because more sellers will aslo list.

    I think if the BOC cuts the rates, it will also lower the bond inventors' expectations and the yields on bonds will fall, leading to lower fixed rates. The fixed rates could fall even faster, as the market will expect even more cuts; they overreact all the time. It happened last year too, just with the expectations of cuts.

    • @Jo-mf2vu

      That happened last year because it was looking like the US would cut at the same time, they had banking failures and the bond market thought lower rates were coming. This year the US is a lot more hawkish, if Canada cuts before them the bond yields may still stay high, and could even go higher if the Canadian dollar loses value.

    No rate cuts.
    Once the bond market has confirmation expect to see the yield curve to un invert and you’ll see 5 years bonds at the overnight rate. 150-200 basis points higher than they currently are.
    Quit praying for lower rates and pay off your debts. Pretty simple stuff

    The RBC makes money on morgages they want you to take them this could just as easy be a nugg to get people back into the market, yes we can lower rates vs the US but that often causes issues with trade etc so I don't think we are as likely to do it as you think. And to be honest I expect the gov is fudging the numbers a bit to show inflation down but truth is my cost are still way up but their is an election coming and Trudeau need to buy votes

    So much to unpack, but I’ll just say a lower Canadian dollar doesn’t help. That’s an economic myth. Unless of course you’re in real estate and selling to foreign buyers. Look at everything from gas, which is priced in US dollars, to just what is sold in the grocery stores that’s imported (fruits and vegetables). A large percentage of farm equipment, manufacturing equipment and parts, are all imported from the US and abroad. The consequences would be devastating to the country.

      @@SteveKarrasch so lets ignore the low dollar ramifications to the country and discuss foreign buyers? Okay.. So the foreign buyer rules didn’t ban all foreign buyers. International students and temporary workers could still buy homes. Then according to global news, more rules around the ban were loosened. Soooo yeah, if the dollar drops, Canada becomes more attractive to buy in, and harder for its own citizens. Make sense?

    Inflation target is 2%, current inflation is 3%+. How can there be a cut? You would need employment picture to hit disaster levels to justify a cut. If they cut without inflation declining or employment disaster, they will lose all credibility and Canadian dollar will hit the toilet
