 Interest Rate News

Rates have continued to stay low and it looks like they will continue to do so for the near future. We are currently seeing 5 year fixed rates from 2.54% to 2.79% depending on how quick you can close. These rates have all the mortgage options attached to them so you can feel assured of a great mortgage product. The variable rate is currently sitting with as much as 75 off the banks prime lending rate. (Current prime rate is 2.70%). This equates to an initial mortgage rate offering of 1.95%. (O.A.C and subject to change without notice). The BoC did drop there rate by 0.25% bringing it down to 0.50%. The banks lowered 0.15% bringing the prime from 2.85% to 2.70%. This is a great rate and if done correctly a variable rate mortgage is a great product.

So get out and enjoy the sunshine and check out these great properties.

Call today and get pre-qualfied and then go find your new home.
