However, Canada\u2019s Consumer Price Index rose 5.9% in January, indicating that inflation is moving in the right direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Enjoying our content?

With inflation still above the Bank\u2019s 2% target, this hold likely does not mark the end of the rate hikes. Governor Tiff Macklem indicated that inflation should be near 3% by the middle of 2023 and hopefully reach the 2% target in 2024. \u201cIf new evidence begins to accumulate that inflation is not declining in line with our forecast, we are prepared to raise our policy rate further,\u201d said Macklem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/can-you-walk-away-from-a-mortgage-in-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Can You Walk Away From a Mortgage in Canada?<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canadians that are waiting for interest rate relief may have to wait until the end of 2023 or 2024 for rates to drop. However, those with variable-rate mortgages and anyone with a home equity line of credit (HELOC) can budget for the next month as there will be no change to their payments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Impact on Canadian Real Estate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James Laird, Co-CEO of Ratehub.ca and President of CanWise mortgage lender explained that because the Bank alluded to the need to hike rates in the future, we will likely see fixed rates rise. However, prospective buyers should lock in a pre-approval to hold today\u2019s rates for up to 120 days, \u201cThis will allow them to have today&#8217;s rates secured, and if rates drop further they will still be eligible for the lower rates,\u201d said Laird.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/fixed-rate-vs-variable-rate-mortgages-which-is-right-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Fixed vs. Variable Rate Mortgages: Which is Right for You?<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the Bank alluded that more interest rate hikes can be expected this year, home values will likely experience downward pressure. Currently, home prices have rolled back to 2021 levels in many major markets across Canada. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/last-time-prices-this-low-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about that here<\/a>.
