Ontario & Canadian Mortgage Market Trends (2025)

• Bank of Canada lowered its policy rate to 2.50% in September 2025 (source).

• 60% of mortgage holders renewing in 2025–2026 will see higher payments (source).

• Ontario housing market is cooling, with declining prices and slower sales (source).

• Borrowers are shifting toward shorter terms and variable rates (CMHC).

Tip: If your mortgage renewal is coming up in 2025, start planning at least 6 months early to protect against surprise payment hikes.
