The required qualifying income to buy in Ottawa nudged up by just $20 month-over-month\u2014not a dramatic shift, so buyers aren\u2019t facing a major new hurdle. The central bank\u2019s overnight rate held steady at around 2%, which supports stability for anyone considering a variable-rate mortgage. Fixed-rate options are also available under 4%, and rate holds can secure today\u2019s best pricing for up to 120 days. If you\u2019re planning your next move, it\u2019s worth watching the Bank of Canada\u2019s decision on September 2, as it could influence where rates head next. In times like these, my role is to provide you with clear, honest guidance\u2014so you can make decisions with confidence and as little stress as possible.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you keeping an eye on Ottawa\u2019s housing affordability, the latest numbers show only a modest change this month.
