This maintains the overnight lending rate at 2.25% and suggests the Bank is taking a more cautious approach going forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its October rate cut announcement, the BoC signaled that the 2.25% policy rate was currently at the \u201cright level\u201d to keep inflation close to the 2% target. Therefore, unless projections change, the Bank is likely to maintain the rate at 2.25% for the foreseeable future.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heading into the typically quieter winter real estate market, home buyers may find this a good window of opportunity to browse for homes. This timing is beneficial, especially before the predicted busy spring 2026 market, when many buyers may finally come off the sidelines, increasing competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect in the Winter 2026 Real Estate Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colder weather typically translates to fewer home sales. While most home buyers wait for the spring market, there are always motivated individuals who need to move due to work, family, or educational reasons. These buyers will find favourable conditions in many cities, particularly in markets that were once &#8220;red hot.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/buy-and-sell-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Best Markets in Canada to Buy and Sell Before 2026<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/buy-and-sell-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoocasa report<\/a> found that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/toronto-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greater Toronto<\/a> real estate market is firmly in buyers\u2019 territory, meaning that buyers will benefit from a surplus of choice, lower home prices, and greater negotiating power. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/trreb-nov-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest TRREB<\/a> (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board) report reaffirms this, with the average property days on market (PDOM) for the region sitting at 56 days. This slow pace of sales gives buyers ample time to browse and avoid being rushed into decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/vancouver-bc-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greater Vancouver<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/kitchener-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kitchener-Waterloo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/ottawa-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ottawa<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/calgary-ab-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Calgary<\/a> are all currently balanced markets. Buyers in these cities can expect a less competitive environment, while sellers can enjoy a steady stream of demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Penelope Graham, mortgage expert at <a href=\"http:\/\/ratehub.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ratehub.ca<\/a>, expects buyer demand to pick up in the coming months, offering those able to buy now a strong incentive to purchase before the anticipated spring surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile Canada\u2019s housing market continues to lag last year\u2019s levels, buyer demand has edged up steadily over the past six months,\u201d says Graham. \u201cHome prices, meanwhile, have yet to re-heat, and plenty of available inventory has made for buyer-friendly conditions in most Canadian markets. While economic uncertainty continues to impact buyer psychology, today\u2019s relatively good affordability conditions will continue to support slow market recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-750x573.png 750w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-768x587.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Interest Rates Are Heading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGiven the Bank\u2019s stance and economic landscape, it\u2019s unlikely variable mortgage rates will decrease in the near future,\u201d says Graham. \u201cHowever, current variable rate pricing is still the best it\u2019s been since 2022, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratehub.ca\/best-mortgage-rates\/5-year\/variable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">five-year terms as low as 3.45%<\/a>. Fixed mortgage rates are also still very competitively priced, though are now facing upward pressure as bond yields climb.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/trreb-nov-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Homebuyers Remain on Sidelines as Winter Slowdown Starts Early: TRREB<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rising bond yields have recently driven up fixed mortgage rates, with the best available fixed rate, according to Ratehub, now at 3.89%. This rate hike significantly increases the cost of homeownership. A buyer purchasing a house at the national average price of $690,195 must now expect a higher monthly payment of approximately $2,872 (assuming a 20% down payment and a 25-year amortization).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those entering the market soon, locking in a pre-approval is a critical step. As the market remains highly sensitive to economic data and central bank policy, securing your rate now is the best hedge against future uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering a move this year?
