Halloween may be over everyone, but with interest rates going up again, the scary stuff is not quite finished! 🎃👻

I carved this pumpkin a while back, and it is still one of my favourites. 😅

Well I'm all set for Halloween this year! PS. I think I have the scariest pumpkin in all of Simcoe County 😨😱😰

Happy Halloween everyone!

Bank of Canada Announces Interest Rate Increase

The Bank of Canada has announced an increase to its key interest rate today, October 28, 2026.

So what does this mean for your mortgage?

✓ If you have a variable rate mortgage or a home equity line of credit, you could see an increase in your borrowing costs as lenders adjust their prime rates.

✓ If you have a fixed rate mortgage, your current rate will not change, although future renewal rates may be affected by market conditions.

My advice? There is no need to rush into making changes. The right decision depends on your individual mortgage and financial situation.

If you have questions about how today's announcement affects you, feel free to reach out. I am always happy to help!

Bank of Canada Update!

Bank of Canada held rates steady again.
For now, that means no change to prime rate and no immediate payment change for most variable-rate mortgage holders.

For homeowners, buyers, and anyone coming up for renewal, this decision brings a bit of stability... but it is still important to review your options carefully. Fixed rates, variable rates, penalties, renewals, and refinance options can all look very different depending on your situation.

The next Bank of Canada rate announcement is scheduled for October 21, 2026.

Have questions about your mortgage, renewal, or refinance options?

I am excited to share that my band Unlocked will be playing Kempenfest in Barrie tomorrow on the OLG Mainstage!

We hit the stage at 2:15 PM at the Barrie waterfront, with a full day of great live music leading up to Big Wreck later that evening.

I love getting to be part of local events like this...music, community, and supporting what is happening right here in Barrie and Simcoe County.

Come say hi if you are there!

The Bank of Canada held its key interest rate at 2.25% today.

No increase... no decrease... just another hold.

For anyone with a variable rate mortgage or line of credit, this means your rate should remain unchanged for now.

For anyone coming up for renewal, it is still a good time to review your options instead of simply signing the lender’s renewal offer. Fixed rates, variable rates, refinance options, and payment structure can all make a difference.

The next Bank of Canada rate announcement is scheduled for September 2, 2026.

If your mortgage is coming up for renewal and you want to compare your options, feel free to reach out.

Happy Canada Day!

06/10/2026

The Bank of Canada held its key interest rate at 2.25% again.

For the regular mortgage customer, this means there is no immediate change to variable-rate mortgages or lines of credit tied to prime rate.

It also means the Bank of Canada is still being cautious.

Inflation is still a concern, mainly because of energy prices and global uncertainty, but the Canadian economy is also showing signs of weakness. Housing activity has slowed, business investment is weak, and employment has been mostly flat since the start of the year.

So for now, the Bank of Canada is choosing to wait
For anyone with a mortgage renewal coming up, this is a good reminder not to simply sign the first offer from your lender. Rates, terms, penalties, and payment options can vary, and the right strategy matters.

The next Bank of Canada rate announcement is July 15, 2026.

If your mortgage is coming up for renewal, feel free to reach out and I would be happy to review your options.
