In Episode 74 of The Canadian Mortgage Show, we break down why several major banks are forecasting interest rate hikes by 2026 — despite economic data pointing in the opposite direction.

We unpack:

Why RBC, Scotia, and National Bank expect higher rates

Why bond yields, job losses, and weak growth don’t support that view

Vancouver and Toronto home sales sliding sharply

Rising mortgage delinquencies in the GTA

Nova Scotia’s new 2% down payment pilot for first-time buyers

The collapse of house flipping and real estate speculation

BMO’s regulatory fine and growing white-collar enforcement

EV mandates scrapped and what it means for Canada’s auto sector

If you’re on a variable mortgage, thinking about locking in, or waiting to buy, this episode explains what actually matters — and what’s just noise.

📌 Nothing here is black and white. The risk today isn’t what banks are saying — it’s what they’re missing.
