Mortgage Market Update: Rates are up!

General

Posted by: Cory Kline

The bond rates have shot up approximately 40 basis points the past 2 weeks. All lenders have raised their 5 year fixed rates at least once and most have had 2 increases. 5 year funds are available in the 3.09-3.29% range. For the moment,10 year funds remain unchanged as low as 3.69%. This will make the 10 year monies more attractive for those desiring long term security.
Variable rate mortgages are available as low as 2.60%.  
The Bank of Canada rate was not changed on May 29th.
Prime remains at 3.00%
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.
