Interest Rate Drop: A Golden Opportunity for Homebuyers & Sellers in Calgary.

Great news for the real estate market! The Bank of Canada has officially reduced its policy rate by 25 basis points to 3%, making homeownership more affordable and creating a surge of opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
