Mortgage Interest Rates on the rise!

The longer term mortgage intrerest rates are on the rise here in Toronto and the GTA
Royal Bank and TD Canada Trust announced Monday they are increasing several fixed mortgage rates by up to 6/10ths of a percentage point.

The biggest jump is attached to the popular five-year fixed closed rate, which moves from 5.25 per cent to 5.85 per cent at both banks. That's the posted rate, which is routinely discounted by the big banks.

RBC's new discounted rate for the five-year term also rises 6/10ths of a percentage point to 4.59 per cent. TD's rises the same amount to 4.55 per cent.

Expect the other banks to follow.

Now is the time to lock in your rate if you want to go long term or if you are about to purchase, get that rate locked now!
