How the Coronavirus will dramatically change the Canadian Real Estate Market in the next couple of months

Since the beginning of the month, the Bank of Canada has cut the lending rate twice, bringing it down to 0.75%. This is a massive decrease in the interest rates and the biggest drop in 11 years. Since it’s cheaper to borrow we’ll see an increase in how much people are likely to spend. It also means there will be an influx of potential buyers that previously might not have been able to enter the market.


Since there was already a big gap between supply and demand, and with inventory continuing to decrease (TRREB just reported a 33.6% decrease in active listings in February), an influx of new buyers will mean a further dwindling inventory. In fact, I recently had 30 people trying to buy the same entry-level property, most of them offering to pay way more just to be able to lock it.

Neighbourhood Guide - Leslieville, Toronto
East End’s Hippest Neighbourhood

Referred to by the NY Times as the next Williamsburg, this hip urban neighbourhood is home to young, upper-middle-income singles and families. Initially home to various factories, the neighbourhood underwent rapid gentrification in the last 20 years and is now famously known as a brunch hot-spot.
From brickyards and nurseries
Leslieville began as a small village in the mid 19th century when George Leslie (after whom the community is named) moved to the area and opened the Toronto Nurseries, which became the largest horticulture business in the country.
