How do inflation trends south of the border shape the mortgage rates your clients get here in Canada?
In this episode, I sit down with mortgage expert Dave Larock to unpack how U.S. inflation is impacting Canadian fixed rates—and what brokers should be watching as we head into a volatile rate environment.
Dave’s insight helps you make sense of the data, explain it clearly to clients, and offer advice that stands out in a sea of speculation.
What We Cover:
- Why Fixed Rates Are Rising – Even as central banks talk about cutting.
- US Inflation Spillover – How the American economy quietly influences Canadian borrowing costs.
- BoC Rate Cut Outlook – Why Dave still thinks we’ll see more cuts in 2024.
- Fixed vs. Variable Strategy – What he recommends in today’s market and why.
- Two Bold Housing Solutions – Dave’s ideas to make Canadian housing more affordable.
Rates move fast—but your advice doesn’t have to. When you understand what’s driving the changes, you can lead with clarity and confidence.
