The HOLM Stretch | August 7, 2026
Thanks for stopping by!
Rates held steady again. Does that change your plans?
The Bank of Canada just held its policy rate at 2.25%, the sixth straight time it's chosen not to move. No cut, no hike, just... steady.
For a lot of people, that's not the news they were hoping for. Others are just glad there's no surprise.
So where does that leave you?
Typically one of these:
1️⃣ Still moving forward, rate or no rate
2️⃣ Waiting to see what happens next
3️⃣ Just watching for now, no immediate plans
There’s no wrong answer.We're just curious where people's heads are at with this. And if you want to talk through what it actually means for your specific situation (buying, selling, or a renewal coming up), happy to do that too. We are here to help.
Talk soon,

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WHAT ELSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
Do you still want the rental?
Maybe it started as an investment. Maybe you held on to a former home and became a landlord along the way.
However it began, do you still want to own the property?
If the answer isn’t as immediate as it used to be, read our new article before the next lease is signed.
Then reach out and tell us how long you’ve owned the rental.
We’d be happy to help you think through what comes next.
