Mortgage Market Update – Oct 25, 2012

General AJ Green 25 Oct

The picture of the Canadian interest rate market is unchanged this week.  Regular 5 year money is currently in the 2.99% – 3.19% range. I now have 2 lenders, both conventional and high ratio, offering 10 year funds at 3.89%.              

 

*If you have a variable rate mortgage of any more than prime +.75 or a fixed rate of 3.75% or more, I should help you 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!

– The next meeting of the Bank of Canada is December 4, 2012.

 

Referrals are the life line of my business.

It’s sending someone you care about to someone you trust.

Mortgage Market Update – Oct 9, 2012

In the past week, there was virtually no change in the bond or mortgage rates. Costs of all funds remain extremely low.

All lenders and mortgage insurers are continuing to tighten up on lending policies. This makes it even more important that you are dealing with full time, seasoned professionals for your mortgage advice.

I have seen a slight tweaking of fixed funds for high ratio or quick closings, offering a 5 year fixed at 2.99%.

Regular 5 year money is currently in the 3.04% – 3.09% range.
I still have one lender, both conventional and high ratio, offering 10 year funds at 3.89%.

If you have a variable rate of any more than prime +.75 or a fixed rate of 4.0% or more, we should explore the merits of refinancing to a lower rate.
