Bank of Canada Cuts Rates: What This Means for Ontario’s Housing Market

The Bank of Canada announced today that it is lowering its key interest rate by 25 basis points, bringing the policy rate down to 2.50%, the lowest level in three years. For Ontarians, this decision is more than just a number. It directly affects affordability, confidence, and activity in the housing market.



What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, lower interest rates often translate into reduced borrowing costs.

You don’t need a sprawling backyard to create outdoor magic. With the right staging, even the tiniest patio or balcony can become a stylish extension of your living space—especially in the summer market!

Here are simple, high-impact ideas to make your small outdoor space shine:
