Your Mortgage Rate Just Got Hit by Global Conflicts The Bank of Canada held rates but what Tiff Macklem said about sticky inflation should have every Canadian buyer and homeowner paying close attention. Global conflicts are pushing energy prices up, and that pressure is already working its way into mortgage rates and everyday costs across Canada. In this episode we discuss the rate decision, new government changes to mortgage insurance and the RRSP home buyers plan that most people have completely missed, and why no matter how good AI gets, it will never replace a real conversation when hundreds of thousands of dollars are on the line. 00:00 Intro and Martini Madness Event 02:27 Bank of Canada's Rate Announcement and Economic Outlook 07:27 Government's Spring Economic Update and Housing Initiatives 11:22 Home Buyers Plan and RRSP Withdrawals 16:49 Current Market Sentiment and Real Estate Trends 21:39 AI in Real Estate: Trust and Human Interaction 29:16 Mood Boosts Don’t Miss Out!
