MARKET REPORT

Discussing the January Market with Jason Ballas

The U.S. plans a 25% tariff on Canadian imports, prompting Canada’s reciprocal response. While aimed at boosting domestic economies, this could mean higher prices and job losses. A recent meeting delayed tariff talks for 30 days, shifting focus to border security.

Locally, Quinte West’s real estate market leans slightly toward buyers, typical for early in the year. With the Bank of Canada’s latest rate drop, market activity is picking up as sellers prepare for spring.
