We sit down with BMO's Senior Economist and Director of Economics, Rob Kavcic, to ask some tough questions:
How does Canada's current housing market compare to previous corrections, and what's your outlook?
How will the recent 25bps Bank of Canada rate cut impact real estate and the broader economy?
Are rents decreasing currently? What's driving this?
Given the price and rate changes, are we approaching the optimal buying opportunity?

Worst Market In Canada? Toronto Vs. Vancouver 

Canadian borrowers and investors are shifting from variable and long fixed terms toward 3-year fixed mortgages in 2026, seeking short-term certainty without locking into long rates, and how that decision ties into portfolio planning, refinancing risk, and programs like CMHC MLI Select.
Fixed (3- or 5-year) = predictable payments, easier modeling for equity/refinance and portfolio scaling.
Variable = a macro bet (rates must fall for it to be advantageous); can cause sudden payment spikes.
3-year fixed = compromise: short-term protection with flexibility if rates decline; financing programs (e.g., CMHC MLI Select) can affect timing and cost.
