The 2026 market
- The Bank of Canada has held its policy rate at 2.25% — its fourth consecutive hold.
- Prices are down year-over-year, but spring sales are recovering.
- Buyers have leverage right now — many are negotiating below list.
- Condos are under the most price pressure of any segment.
An honest read of the market — not a “prices are soaring, buy now” pitch. The job is to price and negotiate to where the market actually is.
