Canada’s housing market is experiencing a major shift. Despite interest rate cuts, home sales are declining, leaving buyers and homeowners uncertain about their next move. In times like these, having access to flexible financial solutions can be the key to navigating economic uncertainty. That’s where iFinance steps in—offering fast, reliable, and tailored financing solutions through trusted providers to help Canadians stay financially secure, no matter what the market looks like.
Why Aren’t Homes Selling Even with Lower Interest Rates?
Historically, when interest rates drop, home sales increase. But that’s not happening this time. Here’s why:
1. Home Prices Are Still Too High
Even though borrowing costs have eased slightly, home prices remain high, keeping many buyers out of the market. With strict mortgage stress tests still in place, affordability remains a challenge.
2. Economic Uncertainty Slows Buyer Confidence
Concerns over inflation, job security, and a potential recession have many Canadians holding off on major purchases—including real estate. Buyers and sellers alike are waiting for more economic stability.
3. Mortgage Renewal Shock
Homeowners who locked in ultra-low mortgage rates during the pandemic are now facing much higher renewal rates, leading to increased monthly payments. This is putting financial strain on households, limiting spending in other areas.
4. Market Sentiment & Hesitation
With economic uncertainty and the expectation of further rate cuts, many potential buyers are choosing to wait, hoping for better opportunities later in the year.
