Although buyers’ curiosity is turning into action, many prefer to wait for future rate cuts before finalizing their projects. Véronique Caron, broker at Multi-Prêts, observes that her customers are now more inclined to move ahead with their real estate projects. Buyers, especially first-time buyers, are choosing to wait for a home that better matches their aspirations, rather than cutting back on their budget. The market seems to be driven by well-informed buyers who are aware of the financial tools available, such as the CELIAPP or 30-year amortization. However, caution remains the watchword. According to Geneviève Langevin, of Royal LePage Altitude, despite the increase in multiple offers and what promises to be a more active autumn, buyers are not rushing into the market, anticipating further rate cuts to come. Philippe Simard, Mortgage Director at Ratehub, also predicts a gradual recovery, as many buyers may still prefer to wait for a more significant cut. Despite these hesitations, the announced reduction will still enable some homeowners to reduce their mortgage payments by around $840 a year, according to calculations based on the average price of a house in Quebec.
