BoC held at 2.25%. 5-yr fixed mortgages ~4.7–5.1%. Stable for buyers.
Easing — at 2.8%, inflation above target but declining. Everyday costs still elevated.
Improving — at 6.4%, the market has some slack. New immigrants and job-changers should factor in landing time.
BoC policy rate and CA CPI/unemployment are fetched live — no manual updates needed. StatsCan figures refresh automatically within hours of each official release. US figures (Fed rate, BLS CPI, BLS unemployment) are updated manually after each release.
Lakive city scores (HPI Years, RPI) are based on CREA, CMHC, and Rentals.ca data and are updated on a separate calendar. Macro indicators provide economic context and do not automatically change individual city scores.
