Last month\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/crea-dec-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) report<\/a> predicted a recovery in housing demand in 2024, and with interest rates holding steady, buyers may have the confidence they need to jump back into the spring market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe tone of this announcement will influence whether the housing market gets off to a strong start. Discussion of rate hikes will mean a sluggish start to real estate activity in 2024,\u201d explained James Laird, Co-CEO of Ratehub.ca and President of CanWise mortgage lender.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/how-to-use-a-home-equity-line-of-credit-to-buy-a-second-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>How to Use a Home Equity Line of Credit to Buy a Second Property<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to rising interest rates, benchmark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/where-are-home-prices-dropping-most-canada-jan-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home prices in most of Canada\u2019s major markets have been dropping<\/a> since June. On the other hand, if interest rates start to come down later this year, home prices will rise again. With anticipation already building for rate cuts in 2024, home prices will likely start climbing as housing demand increases in the spring, signaling good news for sellers. Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer echoed this sentiment in TRREB\u2019s December market report: \u201cAssuming borrowing costs trend lower this year, look for tighter market conditions to prompt renewed price growth in the months ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Will Interest Rates Drop?&nbsp;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The next Bank of Canada announcement is scheduled for March 6, 2024. It\u2019s unlikely that rates will drop then, as many experts predict rate cuts won\u2019t happen until mid-to-late 2024. Homeowners facing mortgage renewal this year might benefit from choosing a shorter-term mortgage so that when rates do come down, they can take advantage of better rates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/canada-mortgage-industry-evolution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Navigating the New Norm: Evolving Trends in the Canadian Mortgage Industry<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnyone with a variable-rate mortgage or home equity line of credit (HELOC) can expect their rate to remain unchanged, but will be reading the Bank\u2019s language closely to see if a rate hike or rate cut is more likely moving forward,\u201d added Laird. According to Ratehub.ca\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratehub.ca\/mortgage-payment-calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mortgage payment calculator<\/a>, a homeowner who bought a home at the December national average of $710,300 and put 10% down with a 5-year variable rate of 5.95% amortized over 25 years has a monthly mortgage payment of $4,197.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss your real estate goals!
