RBC saw net income increase by 9%, while TD saw earnings per share rise to $1.62, up from $1.34 a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The increase is likely the result of the rising interest rate environment. The Bank of Canada hiked the overnight rate to 1.25% in January, and is widely expected to do so again before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What does this mean for the Canadian housing market heading into the second half of 2018? Potentially that home sales will continue to stay low, as the new stress test keeps would-be homebuyers from applying for mortgages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to BMO chief economist Douglas Porter, the market might remain cool for the remainder of the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOn balance, the results are a bit softer than expected and suggest that the market overall is still adapting to new regulations and higher rates,\u201d he wrote, in a recent note. \u201cWith longer-term bond yields still grinding higher yet, don\u2019t look for a quick turn in the market anytime soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.buzzbuzzhome.com\/2018\/05\/take-serious-bite-canadian-mortgage-applications-second-half-2018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This Could Take A Serious Bite Out of Canadian Mortgage Applications in the Second Half of 2018<\/a> by Sarah Niedoba | Buzz Buzz Home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s biggest banks are reporting their second quarter earnings this week, and at least one appears to be experiencing a serious cutback in the number of mortgage applications it\u2019s been &hellip;
