Interest Rates to Increase?

Inflation seems to be on the rise, and if it is, interest rates will begin to go up too!

Globe and Mail - Mar. 03, 2010 - Inflation set to rise faster than expected - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/inflation-set-to-rise-faster-than-expected/article1487729/

If inflation continues to edge up, the interest rates will follow which will have a slowing effect on our hot real estate market, thereby turning it back into a buyer's market.

...and the Real Estate Market Will Stay Strong

The Bank of Canada today announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 0.25%. The Bank Rate is unchanged at 0.5% and the deposit rate is 0.25%.

This means that mortagge rates will continue to stay low which means its a great time to buy or refinance your property!

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is 20 April 2010.
