Ontario’s benchmark home price fell ~4% yearly in Mid-Q3, reopening a provincewide question: buy now in a softer market, or keep waiting longer?
A mortgage expert said the softer price backdrop showed only part of the picture, signaling buyers also needed to weigh financing conditions carefully.
Fixed mortgage rates moved higher recently, reducing how much relief lower prices alone may have offered Ontario buyers weighing affordability and timing.
Bond yields climbed after the central bank held its overnight rate in the low-2% range on September 2, while warning inflation faced stronger upside risks.
For Ontario buyers, the current decision was not just about home prices; borrowing costs remained a central part of the buy-now debate.
