Risk is low for a third interest rate increase fall 2017

The Real Estate market has been challenged a lot this year with implementation of things like the stress tests, expanded rent controls, two interest rate hikes in 2017, and 15% non-resident speculation tax in the Golden Horseshoe (ON).

Looks like we may be dodging the bullet on a third interest rate increase this year.
