Budget 2026 is out. Here’s what it means for real estate, in plain English.

Ottawa tabled Federal Budget 2026 today — building more, and helping businesses invest. Here’s what matters for you:

More homes, lower building costs. $13B for Build Canada Homes stays in place, and an $8.8B Canada–Ontario partnership helps cities that cut development charges by 30–50%.

Real savings for buyers. Ontario’s 13% HST rebate on new homes up to $1M continues, worth up to $130,000. Development-charge cuts can save up to $179K per home in some areas.

Fixed rates got cheaper. 5-year fixed mortgages are now about 4.19–4.29%, lower than variable.

The $36B Productivity Mega Deduction supports demand for industrial and flex space.

Let’s find yours. Call or text 647-773-3438 | [email protected]

$585.8M for five fully leased logistics buildings in Oshawa and Brampton.

A CPP Investments and Dream joint venture bought 2.1M sq. ft. of space built between 2020 and 2024. Meanwhile, Altus Group reports that 85% of the nearly 2.5M sq. ft. delivered across the GTA in Q3 has no tenant committed.

Our read: signed leases and open space are two different bets. Buyers should underwrite the lease-up, sellers should lead with the rent roll, and businesses that need space may have more options.

What are you seeing in your market? Let’s compare the numbers.

Buying or refinancing a commercial property? Refresh your financing assumptions.

The Bank of Canada increased its policy rate to 2.50% on October 28, a rise of 25 basis points. Your actual borrowing cost depends on your loan agreement and lender.

Our practical checklist: confirm your benchmark and spread, obtain a current quote, allow for vacancy and repairs, and prepare your rent roll and operating statements before refinancing.

Contact Bas/sell to discuss how financing fits your property plans. General information; confirm terms with your lender.

GTA commercial investment reached $15.1 billion through Q3 2026, according to Altus Group’s October 29 report.

What does that mean for your property? Our view: the regional total is a starting point. A sound decision still depends on actual income, tenants, building condition and financing.

GTA new-home demand is moving at different speeds.

BILD / Altus Group reported 129 high-rise sales and 820 low-rise sales for September 2026 in its October 22 release.

For landowners and investors, our view is practical: a regional headline cannot replace a property-specific assessment. Compare similar new projects, test slower sales and carrying costs, and confirm financing and rebate eligibility with your advisers.

Rate hike: not useful, not harmful, just pointless.

This morning the Bank of Canada raised its policy rate by a quarter point to 2.5%, its first increase in three years, citing inflation at 3.1% driven largely by energy prices.

Yes, a hike sounds harsh with jobs already disappearing. And borrowers will feel it in their payments. But will it change buying and selling? No.

From where I sit in commercial real estate across the 401 corridor, the market is already slow, and it's not slow because of rates. What's holding deals back is uncertainty — and a job market that lost 68,000 positions in September.

A quarter point won't slow this market further, and it won't speed it up. It affects the borrower, not the trading.

Don't let rate headlines stall your decisions. The fundamentals of a good deal haven't changed today.

GTA industrial demand is back: 2.0M sq. ft. was absorbed in Q3, and availability has held at 5.0% for four straight quarters. Asking rents, though, slipped again.

The takeaway: tenants still have room to negotiate, and owners should price renewals to today’s market.

The rate call starts tomorrow.

Monday, October 19 is one of the busiest data days on the Bank of Canada's calendar. Three releases land together: the Business Outlook Survey, the Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations, and September CPI from Statistics Canada.

Together they give the Governing Council its final picture before the October 28 rate decision. Markets currently put the odds of the policy rate holding at 2.25% at about 76% (WOWA Canada). Those are market-implied odds, not a certainty, and Monday's numbers can move them.

Why it matters for commercial real estate: the rate path feeds directly into borrowing costs, cap-rate expectations and refinancing timelines.
