The Bank of Canada, which is responsible for setting interest rates in Canada, considers a variety of economic factors when making its decisions. These include inflation, employment rates, GDP growth, and international trade.
If inflation is high, the Bank of Canada may raise interest rates to help control it. Conversely, if inflation is low, the Bank of Canada may lower interest rates to encourage spending and stimulate economic growth.
Employment rates and GDP growth are also key factors that can influence interest rates. International trade can also play a role in interest rate decisions
Overall, it is impossible to predict exactly what Canadian interest rates will be in 2024. However, by keeping an eye on economic indicators and trends, we can make educated guesses on what may happen.

Proposed New legislation in BC for Small-Scale multi unit housing.
As part of the Homes for People Action Plan this new legislation aims to create more housing options within existing neighbourhoods that are typically zoned only for condos and single-family homes. The plan is to allow zoning to build more multi family units such a townhomes, duplexes and row homes on existing single-family lots.
The aim is to also reduce the limitations and red tape that typically hold up housing projects due to rezoning. The number of homes permitted will depend on the lot size, less than 280 sq metres 3 units and over 280sq metres 4 units. Lots over 280sq metres near transit that has frequent stops could have up to 6 units.

Why is it so important to have personal insurance when you buy a strata property?
When you purchase a strata property, the building itself would be covered by the strata insurance policy but what about those items that are not covered?
You will need to have your own insurance for
When we receive strata documents there will be a Strata Insurance Summary attached that you would need to send to your insurance broker in order for them to obtain a quote for your personal insurance. Personal insurance is an additional cost but so important in order to protect yourself.
