The Bank Held. Here's What That Actually Means for You.
from The Waterloo Region Daily Brief · host William Forbes
The Bank of Canada just held rates at 2.25%... and the number that matters isn't the rate, it's the language. We break down the three variables that will determine whether the next move is a cut or a hike, what it means for buyers waiting on the sidelines, and the honest math on whether "wait for rates to drop" is actually a strategy. Plus: the Kitchener Farmers' Market has been running since 1869 and March is one of the best times to go... and the Region of Waterloo Libraries are running free March Break programming all week that most families have no idea about.
