JANUARY 2026

The next Bank of Canada rate decision is January 28.

Recent data shows the economy contracted by 0.3 percent and unemployment rose to 6.8 percent, factors the Bank is closely watching. Looking ahead, mortgage renewals from 2021 will peak this year, population growth is slowing, and trade negotiations under CUSMA NAFTA with the U.S. and Mexico add another layer of uncertainty. It’s unlikely that the Bank of Canada will be making any changes this time around, and the latest inflation reports are coming in slightly hotter than anticipated. Economists are predicting few if any rate changes this year.

Locally, expired listings in Guelph rose 65.46 percent year over year, from December 2024 to December 2025, a signal that more supply may return to the market this spring as sellers re-enter during peak season. However, at the moment, serious buyers are out there and still looking, while the winter inventory has dissipated, especially in the first time home buyer segment.

Recent open houses that I’ve attended on aggressively priced properties indicate buyers are out and looking. These open houses have been very busy, and offer presentations are still taking place in some markets, notably in Kitchener Waterloo, at the detached home entry point.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply want to understand how these shifts affect your plans, let’s have a conversation and build a strategy that fits your goals.
