Lower Rates, Bigger Opportunities: Secure Your Pre-Construction Investment

The Bank of Canada’s decision to lower the policy rate to 3.25%—and mortgage rates from 6.25% to 4.25%—creates an ideal environment for pre-construction buyers. Whether you’re locking in a deal on your first home or expanding your investment portfolio, these lower rates can maximize your financial potential.

Why This Rate Cut Matters for Pre-Construction Buyers

  1. Increased Affordability
    Lower mortgage rates mean reduced monthly payments, making pre-construction properties more accessible. Locking in today’s lower rates can protect you from future increases while boosting your purchasing power.
  2. Maximize Your Investment Potential
    Pre-construction properties offer significant appreciation potential, especially in a market with increasing real estate activity. With the reduced cost of borrowing, you can secure a property with higher future returns.
  3. Flexible Payment Schedules
    Pre-construction properties often allow staggered payment plans during the build period. With lower rates, these payments become even more manageable, freeing up your cash flow for other investments.

What You Need to Know About Pre-Construction in 2024

  • Momentum in Real Estate
    National home sales are increasing month-over-month, indicating strong demand that benefits pre-construction investments.
  • A New Housing Cycle
    With this rate cut, the market is shifting toward sustainable growth, making it a great time to invest in properties that will appreciate over the coming years.
  • Secure Financing Early
    Pre-approvals at today’s lower rates can lock in affordability, giving you peace of mind as your property is built.
