Falling interest rates expected to break ‘psychological’ barrier for homebuyers, experts say

With the Bank of Canada cutting its benchmark interest rate Wednesday to 2.5 per cent from 2.75 per cent, lenders are expected to offer mortgages that could soon be in the 3-per-cent range instead of hovering around 4 per cent.
