Interest Rates?? What's HAPPENING! 🤔
Updated: May 4, 2020
THERE IS SO MUCH HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!
Wondering what you should do?

As you know, a variable rate Mortgage and/or line of credit mortgage is based on the Prime Rate, here is your personal update from me on the recent Bank of Canada announcement.
At 9:00 AM EST July 10th the Bank of Canada did what we expected, left the interest rate at 1.75%
Bottom Line:
We still are RECOMMENDING if you have a variable rate, to remember WHY you took your variable, so here are a couple of reasons to stay Variable or move to fixed:
Stay Variable:
+ Maximum 3 month interest penalty to break, re-finance, move etc.
+ Likely you are still paying a lower interest rate
+ Rates can go up and can go down
+ Options to SWITCH to other lenders mid-term to save money at lower cost
Go Fixed:
+ You want a "sure thing" payment for next few years and potential payment changes keep you up at night.
+ There is little to no chance of you making any changes on your mortgage during the term
+ Aren't likely to try to access equity, add a line of credit or make any other changes.
BONUS:
If you currently in a mortgage or nearing the end of your term now is the time to review options like borrowing against your equity or renewing to lock into a lower rate. Contact Us to Discuss these options
Remember: Rates are STILL very low and it is STILL a very good time to Re-Finance or Buy.
