💡 Quick Tip Wednesday

Have your deposit money ready before you start making offers. Your deposit is due soon after your offer is accepted, often within days, so knowing where that money is sitting and how quickly you can move it makes offer day feel much calmer.

Did you know the deposit comes due that quickly? 👇

🏡 Paying a deposit and still need a down payment? Here's the good news.

Here's what you need to know 👇

💰 Your deposit isn't extra money

📝 It's the first part of your down payment, paid a little earlier

🔐 It waits safely in a brokerage trust account until closing

🧮 My blog walks through a simple example on a $700,000 home
What does that mean? You're not paying twice. You're just paying part of your down payment sooner. 💛

The Bank of Canada just raised rates to 2.5%. First hike in three years.

The reason is oil. The war in the Middle East pushed gas prices up, and inflation has sat around 3% since April.

Here's my problem. A rate hike in Ottawa doesn't refine one more barrel of oil. It doesn't change what you pay at the pump. What it does change is the cost of every mortgage renewal and business loan in this country, in an economy already absorbing new U.S. tariffs.

The Bank's answer is that it isn't targeting gas prices. It's trying to stop energy costs from spreading into everything else. That risk is real. I just think hiking into a slowing economy is the wrong trade, and some economists called this premature with core inflation still subdued.

If you have a renewal coming in the next 12 to 18 months, stress-test it now. The Bank says more hikes may be needed.

Hike, hold, or cut. What would you have done?

Hamilton and Kitchener-Waterloo are next-door markets moving in opposite directions. Yardi's Q2 data has KW new-lease rents down 4.5%, the weakest in Canada, while Hamilton's are up 1.3%.

Hamilton's overall vacancy is 5.2%, above the national average. But bachelor vacancy is 14% while two-bedrooms sit at 3.7% with new leases up 2.2%.

The headline vacancy number hides the story. Unit mix is the underwriting.

Small-scale infill went from 0.62% of Toronto's housing starts in 2023 to 6.45% in 2025, per CMHC.

Zoning reforms and conversions of existing homes are part of the story. But it's a share of a small base, and CMHC says Ontario's uptake has been slower.

The bigger infill category is still nine units or more, at 63% of national starts.

Canada's September CPI came in at 3.1%, versus 3.2% expected and 3.0% in August. Gasoline is up 27.8% year over year, and inflation excluding gasoline was 2.2%.

Core measures were a tick below forecast, with CPI-trim at 1.8% and CPI-median at 1.9%. Rent rose 0.5% on the month, leaving the annual rate at 2.8%, which CIBC called "surprisingly firm."

The Bank of Canada decides October 28, with CIBC seeing little rush to hike and Governor Macklem saying the Bank is prepared to raise rates if necessary.

Developer-held condo inventory hit a record 5,001 units, up 68% year over year, and bulk buyers are stepping in.

High Art Capital is targeting at least $1.3B to convert condo blocks into rentals, with up to $300M in mezzanine debt committed by Building Ontario Fund. The trade-off is that 30% of the units are tagged affordable for life.

The 30%+ discount is one lawyer's estimate, not a reported average. How these scattered units get managed, and what happens to warranty coverage on resale, is where the risk sits.

🍂 September in the GTA housing market: buyers took a breather.

Here's what the numbers showed 👇

🏡 5,040 homes sold, down 9 per cent from last year
💰 Average price $1,006,409, down 5.1 per cent
📋 New listings down 14.4 per cent
🏢 905 region condos averaging $533,654, down 12 per cent

What does that mean? Buyers have more time and more room to negotiate. Sellers face less competition, as long as the price is right. 🙌

TRREB says plenty of families are ready to buy once they feel confident. Getting prepared now puts you ahead of the crowd.
