Buyers are clearly weighing the impact of ongoing trade tensions, fluctuating oil prices, and persistent inflation concerns. Rising Canada bond yields have put extra pressure on fixed mortgage rates\u2014a trend that I\u2019ve seen firsthand in conversations with clients across BC and Alberta. Despite these headwinds, industry experts expect the market to stay active through late Q3 and into Q4. The Bank of Canada has held its policy rate steady, while inflation has hovered around 3% for a second straight month. Some economists are even eyeing potential easing in 2027. For the remainder of 2026, the outlook suggests either unchanged rates or a slight increase, with possible cuts coming as conditions improve.
