📉 Interest Rate Update for Homebuyers & Investors 🏡

The Bank of Canada has just lowered its key interest rate by 0.50% to 3.25%, marking the second consecutive rate cut. This decision comes as a response to slower-than-expected GDP growth and rising unemployment. Since June, the central bank has reduced rates five times, helping to bring inflation back to the 2% target.

While inflation is now under control, Governor Tiff Macklem has hinted that future rate cuts may slow as the focus shifts to maintaining price stability. This is great news for anyone looking to buy, sell, or invest in Whistler!
