"We are anticipating a declining interest rate environment throughout 2024, with rates traders pricing in a 0.25% cut to the target rate by the end of Q1 and a further 0.25% to 0.5% cuts in Q2, which should help ease some of the rate volatility we experienced last year," Imperial Fund Managing Director Victor Kuznetsov said. "That said, originations will continue to be a challenge as mortgage rates will likely settle between 5% and 6%, which isn't materially less than where they are today and does not significantly alter the current housing fundamentals picture.
