The inflation game 💸 The Bank of Canada has cut rates by another 0.5%, stating they must now keep inflation at 2%. On Wednesday, the BoC announced a significant victory over high inflation by implementing a large interest rate cut and indicated that its policy rate is likely to keep decreasing in the months ahead. Canada's inflation rate dropped to 1.6% in September, reinforcing predictions for a more substantial rate cut. Larger cuts allow for a quicker reduction in the rate. With interest rates on the decline, the Bank of Canada anticipates that economic growth will rebound in 2025 and 2026. The next interest rate announcement from the Bank of Canada is set for December 11. // #realestateinvesting #realestatecanada #reit #markettrends #financialeducation #financialreporting #canadianfinance #westbow #investmentcanada #canadian #westerncanada #assetmanagement #propertymanagement #investwithus #chilliwack #chilliwackbc #calgarybc #sask

Have you heard of a ROL purchase? 💸 A "Return on Life" (ROL) purchase is a concept that focuses on evaluating the value of a purchase based not just on its financial return but on how it contributes to your overall well-being and quality of life. It's a more holistic approach to decision-making, especially when it comes to spending on things that affect your lifestyle and happiness. Overall, ROL purchases are about making decisions that contribute positively to your overall life experience, rather than focusing solely on financial returns or short-term gains. The Peak Money recently asked their readers what their ROL purchases looked like. What was a ROL purchase for you? ✨ // #realestateinvesting #realestatecanada #reit #markettrends #financialeducation #financialreporting #canadianfinance #westbow #investmentcanada #canadian #westerncanada #assetmanagement #propertymanagement #investwithus #chilliwack #chilliwackbc #calgarybc #sask

The Bank of Canada lowered its overnight rate by 25 basis points recently, aiming to give a much-needed boost to the country's struggling GDP 💸 Statistics Canada reported in April that the nation’s economic output was 7% below its long-term trend, translating to a loss of about $4,200 per person. On a brighter note, a new report from the International Monetary Fund suggests that Canada could rebound next year and potentially become the fastest-growing economy among advanced nations. However, it's important to note that these rate cuts are a response to the current economic challenges, including insufficient business competition, low investment, an aging workforce, and high levels of under-employment as the labor market softens. While cutting interest rates might provide a short-term boost, addressing these underlying issues that are hampering growth will require more time.

More rate cuts 💸 How will the new rate, cut down by 25 basis points, affect real estate markets? The rate is now sitting at 4.5%, its lowest since April 2023. According to various publishers, the new rate will not greatly affect the ability to purchase a home, but it may offer new optimism. Canadians may now expect lower monthly mortgage payments as well. The Canadian Mortgage Brokers Association notes the change as "a step in the right direction." There may be more upcoming cuts this year yet.
