This week, we've seen several key developments shaping Canada’s housing and economic outlook. With fresh data on inflation, housing starts, retail sales, and lending in play, the conversation about whether the Bank of Canada will hold steady or consider another rate hike through 2027 is heating up. A recent revision from a leading real estate group now predicts national home sales will edge lower this year—rather than posting modest growth as previously expected.
On the trade front, a looming mid-Q3 deadline could see nearly US$20 billion of Canadian exports face up to 50% US tariffs, as negotiations continue with some major hurdles still in place. Meanwhile, updates on construction, consumer spending, and business activity are providing valuable insights into where our market’s momentum is headed next.
