Bonds were steady this week, but still creating upward pressure on fixed rates. So far, no more changes; however, any further upward movement will likely result in all lenders adjusting their rates. The Bank of Canada meets next week and no changes are expected at this time.
5 year funds are available in the 2.84-2.99% range, 10 year funds as low as 3.69%. Variable rate mortgages are available as low as 2.60%. |
If you have a variable rate of any more than prime +.75 or a fixed rate of 3.75% or more, we should explore the merits of refinancing to a lower rate. It may result in savings of thousands of dollars and a longer term at today’s record low rates.
