Condo market overheating

Alarm bells are going off  in the heads of several bankers about the robust condominium market in Toronto and Vancouver. Many feel that there is an oversupply of stock.

With so many new condo units becoming available in Kitchener Waterloo, I hope our condo bubble doesn’t pop!

 

Interest rates now at historic low in Canada

We now have the lowest interest rate in Canadian history. The Bank of Montreal, earlier this week cut the rate on its closed five-year fixed mortgage to 2.99%, a half a percentage point drop. It’s expected that this will be matched by most of our other banks and lenders. There has never been a better time to take out a mortgage!

This week in real estate  looks at what’s trending in the real estate market in Canada and KW.
