Understanding the Bank of Canada's Schedule
The Bank of Canada has set a schedule for its interest rate announcements for 2027. This is part of its regular practice to inform the public about economic policies.

Impact on Buyers and Sellers
For buyers, understanding the Bank’s schedule can help you time your mortgage applications. If you expect rates to rise, it might be wise to act sooner. For sellers, knowing when rates could change can help you decide the best time to list your property.
Buying a Home in 2027
You may want to lock in a lower rate before increases.
Consider your budget based on potential interest rates.
