🚨 Bank of Canada Raises Interest Rates by 0.25%
The Bank of Canada today increased its target for the overnight rate by 25 basis points to 2.5%.
Despite higher energy costs, the global economy continues to show strength. However, rising oil prices and ongoing inflation pressures have contributed to the Bank of Canada’s decision to increase rates.
What does this mean for you?
This increase will impact borrowers with variable and adjustable rate mortgages and lines of credit, while those with fixed rate mortgages will see no change to their payments.
For clients who are in adjustable rate mortgages and have secured or unsecured line of credits for every $100,000 in mortgage balance, a 0.25% rate increase could mean approximately $15 more per month on your mortgage payment.
Here’s what this will look like:
🏡 $100,000 mortgage = $15more/month
🏡 $200,000 mortgage = $30 more/month
🏡 $300,000 mortgage = $45 more/month
🏡 $400,000 mortgage = $60 more/month
🏡 $500,000 mortgage = $75 more/month
