New homes in Greater Victoria are about to get more expensive.
The CRD just approved a new water infrastructure development fee for new builds starting in 2027.
Up to $9,044 per single-family home, costs that will likely be passed on to buyers.
Bank of Canada holds rates at 2.25%.
This was expected.
The economy slowed at the end of 2025, growth is modest for 2026, and uncertainty remains high, especially around U.S. tariffs and the CUSMA review.
What do you think comes next, hold or cut?
2026 is a very different housing market.
Rates are expected to hold, bidding wars are rare, financing conditions are back, and mortgage renewals are hitting harder.
Buyers have more time, sellers need to be realistic, and planning ahead matters more than ever.
The @bankofcanada just lowered its key interest rate to 2.25%.
This marks the second consecutive rate cut, bringing the prime lending rate to around 4.45%, the lowest since 2022.
