While lower rates typically improve affordability, economic uncertainty and trade tensions have tempered housing demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Further Rate Cuts?<\/strong>&nbsp;If economic growth continues to weaken, the Bank of Canada may implement additional cuts. However, their effectiveness in boosting demand may be limited amid ongoing market volatility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Seasonal Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Spring Market Surge:<\/strong>&nbsp;Spring is traditionally a peak season for real estate, with sales activity expected to rise. Despite economic uncertainties and relatively low sales, home price remains strong, and the market is likely to see increased transactions as buyers and sellers capitalize on favorable conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The market is in transition.
