This follows two consecutive half-point rate cuts in October and December and will bring further relief to current variable rate mortgage holders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its December announcement, the Bank noted that it will be \u201cevaluating the need for further reductions in the policy rate one decision at a time,\u201d indicating an easing in the Bank\u2019s monetary policy. Going forward, future rate cuts will likely depend on a wait-and-see approach, with a rate hold possible as early as March.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Spring Market Will Be Busier Than the Last<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With borrowing costs lowering, the 2025 spring market is primed for an influx of activity. The overnight lending rate was held at 5% during last year\u2019s spring market, keeping many would-be buyers on the sidelines. By the time the Bank announced its first rate cut of 2024 in June, momentum had already slowed down, missing the prime spring season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/trreb-december-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>GTA Real Estate Market Stabilizes in 2024 Amid Rate Cuts and Rising Supply: TRREB<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spring is considered the peak season for real estate for a reason. Warm weather provides ideal open house conditions, and families with children often buy and sell to prepare for a summer move. With more listings on the market and flowers in bloom, homes also look their best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that interest rates are stable, with some 5-year fixed rates as low as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratehub.ca\/5-year-fixed-mortgage-rate-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4.04%<\/a>, home buyers and sellers have the confidence they need to make their move. This should lead to an explosion of activity. With stable interest rates and some 5-year fixed rates as low as 4.04%, homebuyers and sellers now have the confidence to act. This stability is expected to spark a surge in market activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evidence of a more robust spring market is already building. According to the latest report from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/crea-december-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA)<\/a>, the fourth quarter of 2024 was one of the strongest sales quarters in the last twenty years. Nationally, December sales were up by 19.2% from 2023, while in Ontario and British Columbia, sales increased by 8.1% and 24.7% respectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, inventory is rising, giving buyers a much larger selection to choose from compared to last year. New listings in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/toronto-on-real-estate\">Toronto<\/a> experienced a year-over-year increase of 20.5% and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/hamilton-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hamilton-Burlington<\/a>, new listings rose by a whopping 37%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can\u2019t Decide Between a Variable or Fixed Rate Mortgage? This Might Help<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Ratehub.ca&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratehub.ca\/mortgage-payment-calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mortgage payment calculator<\/a>, a homeowner who put a 10% down payment on a $676,640 home with a 5-year variable rate of 4.45% amortized over 25 years has a monthly mortgage payment of $3,458.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the Bank of Canada\u2019s 25-basis point rate decrease, their variable mortgage rate will decrease to 4.20% and their monthly payment will decrease to $3,371, representing $1,044 in savings per year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/rent-vs-buy-january-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Understanding Canada\u2019s Housing Market in 2025: Where to Rent vs. Buy<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it may be tempting for some borrowers to switch from a fixed to a variable rate, the decision should be carefully considered, especially in the face of economic uncertainty. The Bank of Canada noted in its January release that &#8220;lower interest rates are boosting household spending and, in the outlook published today, the economy is expected to strengthen gradually and inflation to stay close to target. However, if broad-based and significant tariffs were imposed, the resilience of Canada\u2019s economy would be tested.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Penelope Graham, mortgage expert at Ratehub.ca, explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u201cThe bond market has been volatile in recent weeks, as investors react to shifting messaging on tariff threats, and the overall implications of a Trump presidency for markets. Canada\u2019s five-year yield has swung from a high 3.31% on November 21, down to 2.97% this week, which may put downward pressure on fixed mortgage rates. However, given how quickly investor sentiment can change, rate pricing could go in any direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Graham recommends that anyone shopping for a mortgage right now get a pre-approval and lock in with a rate hold. This will guarantee you access to the lowest rates possible, regardless of any economic shocks that might come in the next few weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need help navigating the ever-changing Canadian real estate markets?
