Fixed or variable? That’s still one of the biggest mortgage questions Canadians are asking right now.

While variable-rate interest is starting to return, fixed rates have also seen slight upward pressure in recent weeks.

The reality? There’s no universal “best” option — only the one that best fits your comfort level, financial goals, and future plans.

If you’re unsure which rate path makes sense for you, reach out and we can discuss your options.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms and mother figures out there today. 💐

To the mothers raising children, the stepmoms, grandmothers, adoptive moms, foster moms, pet moms, bonus moms, those longing to become mothers, and the women who nurture, support, guide, and love others every single day — today we celebrate you.

And to those missing their moms today and holding them a little closer in their hearts — sending you extra love today. ❤️

Thank you for the care, strength, patience, and love you bring into the world in so many different ways.

Wishing you a day filled with appreciation, peace, love, and a little time for yourself too.

The Bank of Canada is holding steady—and for now, so is the market.

After four rate cuts in 2025, bringing borrowing costs down by a full percentage point, we’ve entered a “wait-and-see” phase. Ongoing global tensions and inflation concerns are keeping the Bank cautious—and that means uncertainty isn’t going anywhere just yet.

💡 What does this mean for you?
Timing, strategy, and the right advice matter more than ever.

Whether you’re buying, renewing, or just trying to make sense of it all—I’m here to help you navigate what comes next.

The Bank of Canada held rates steady today—but uncertainty hasn’t gone anywhere.

With rising global tensions impacting inflation, the outlook remains cautious.

Things are stable for now, but strategy matters more than ever—especially if you’re up for renewal.
