💡 Market Insights from Kris

🟡 We’re seeing a shift toward a balanced market
✅ Conditional offers (inspection, financing) are being accepted again
💬 Homes that are priced right, show well, and are in good locations are still attracting multiple offers
📉 But overpriced or outdated homes are sitting longer

🔍 Buyer activity is cautious right now, thanks to tariffs, rising unemployment, and economic uncertainty.

📈 What the Bank of Canada Rate Decision Means

🏦 The Bank held rates at 2.7%, as inflation remains high and economic growth slows
💬 Buyers: Stable mortgage rates = a great time to shop smart
💬 Sellers: Market may feel slower, but lower rates could bring more buyers soon
