remains “sluggish,” but a rebound may have already begun thanks to three consecutive interest rate cuts, a new report by Royal LePage suggests.

With home prices essentially flat and interest rates steadily declining, they perceive no penalty in postponing their purchase.”

This leaves the level of sales unchanged from one year ago, the report, published in the CFIB’s economic publication Main Street Quarterly, said.
