Mortgage Rates Remain Low.... What's Going On?



Mortgage Rates Remain Low….. What’s Going On?

Fall of Interest Rates

Well simply put, Canada’s Bond Market is very attractive to outside investors and this has made our Country the safe haven for foreign investors.  What has this done to our Mortgage Rates?

“Canada is seen as a beacon in the financial world, so bond offerings from Canada's biggest lenders are in strong demand. Cheaper borrowing for the banks has in turn allowed them to seek new customers by cutting their consumer rates.”  This taken directly from an article (link attached below)  states our low rates for mortgages are a direct result of the strong demand for our bonds by international consumers.


Now is the perfect time for you to revisit your current mortgage contract to see if it’s worth breaking your mortgage to lock in the all-time, new low rates.  Also for those lucky consumers who are up for renewal, this is the perfect time to have a Mortgage Professional shop around to get you the best rate possible.

Banks are limited to their product only so before you sign that renewal notice that came in the mail, it is imperative you seek a second opinion to make sure that what is being offered to you is in your best interest financially.  

Mortgage Brokers work for you, not the banks and not any one specific lender.  It costs you nothing to get that second opinion so give us a call today to discuss your options, can you afford to wait?
