🏡 Lisa Hilton's July 2025 Market Report
Your Sea to Sky Real Estate Snapshot
Pemberton | Whistler | Sea to Sky Corridor | BC & National Trends
🇨🇦 National & Provincial Market Overview
The Bank of Canada held its overnight interest rate at 2.75% for July, citing modest inflation gains and a strong national job market. June added over 83,000 new jobs, pushing unemployment down to 6.9%. While economists predict a potential rate cut later this year, the BoC remains cautious—focused on keeping inflation close to the 2% target.
In British Columbia, sales volumes continue to lag behind 2022–2023 levels, but pricing remains resilient in lifestyle-driven and rural markets. Inventory is building in most markets, providing more breathing room for buyers.
