Ciao! Welcome to a new episode of Building Wealth Through Real Estate...Brick by Brick with me, Nico James-Bock, Founder of The CondoWiz™ Group and Broker at Royal LePage Signature Realty in Downtown Toronto.  Today I have the pleasure of speaking with special Guest Sean Humphries, an award-wining mortgage specialist with Dominion Lending Centres.

Sean and I discussed the impact of global politics and local Canadian politics on the real estate market, with a focus on the recent Bank of Canada rate cut and its connection to the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. We also explored the current state of the Canadian economy, including the impact of inflation and interest rates, and the potential effects of the Bank of Canada's rate decisions on fixed and variable mortgage rates. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the current state of the Canadian economy, focusing on internal trade barriers between provinces and investment in infrastructure.

Sean's Insights and Recommendations:

1. Bank of Canada to potentially reduce interest rates by 0.25% on April 16th and June 4th.
2. Canadian government to consider implementing programs to stimulate the economy.
3. Canadian government to focus on reducing internal trade barriers between provinces.
4. Prime Minister Mark Carney to invest in infrastructure projects to strengthen the Canadian economy.
5. Canadian government to explore development of resources and infrastructure such as pipelines and rail transport.
