Current Mortgage Interest Rates


Following yesterday's Bank of Canada rate announcement, many mortgage lenders have lowered their prime lending rate to 5.25%.


Fixed rate mortgages remain stable.


Variable rate clients have benefited from this decrease - today's best variable rate is 4.65%.


With it's low rates, many borrowers are choosing the variable rate mortgage.

A few points to consider:


  • Ability to switch to lenders fixed rate mortgage during term (without a penalty);
  • Switching at 'best rate' vs posted rate;
  • Mortgage payments - change with prime vs remain stable (make sure you have choice).

Please let me know how I can help you if you want me to put you in touch with lenders that offer these rates!
