The Bank has raised rates by 0.5% today. This is the third time this year that rates have increased.

Again, this isn't a panic situation. The current lending rate, 1.50% is still lower than rates in 2018 — which were at 1.75%.

1️⃣ Your variable rate mortgage is about to go up. The same logic will apply if you have a home equity line of credit (HELOC). This rate increase would increase your monthly payment by $84 on a $350,000 variable rate mortgage.

2️⃣ Your unsecured loan or line of credit may increase. If any loans are tied to the prime rate, you now have the privilege of paying your bank more interest each month!

3️⃣ Don't let an increase in rate cause a panic! Mortgages are more than just rate. As always, talk to your mortgage broker to chat about payment strategies.

As many of you have already been made aware, the Bank of Canada has increased its benchmark interest rate by 0.5% in an effort to control the rising inflation. This has been the largest increase since the year 2000.

This may seem scary to a lot of people, but its important to remember that prime rate is still lower than it was pre-covid. In March of 2020 prime rate was significantly reduced to help the economy endure through unprecedented times. Now that inflation is rising quickly, interest rates have risen in an effort to help reduce that.

If you have any questions or concerns about how this recent rate change will affect you, please give me a shout and we can discuss strategy moving forward!

I’ve had quite a few new follows these past few weeks and so I figured I would do an introduction post! As many of you know I’m Cristina Fehr and I am a mortgage broker for an incredible company, Quantus Mortgage Solutions. I’ve been a licensed broker now for over a year and am loving the challenges it brings!

Prior to entering into the world of mortgages, I was a full-time stay at home parent to my 3 very rambunctious kiddos. I also wore the hat of full time medical parent/advocate to my oldest daughter who has a rare condition and has still to this day endured more than anyone should have to.

All of the life experiences I’ve had through parenting and connecting with other incredible families that parent through the world of disability have been a major contributing factor in my desire and drive to grow on a personal and professional level. Money management and financial security have always been something that I have put a lot of value into, as I know that my future will involve not only financially supporting myself but also supporting my oldest throughout her lifespan.

Mortgages are one of the largest investments families and individuals will make and being able to help assist others with their mortgage goals is something that I am passionate about. Not to mention Quantus Mortgage Solutions also founded an organization called Community Key that helps families with their mortgage/rent payments if they are caring for a sick or injured child. Shortly after getting hired with Quantus, I was accepted to join the Board with Community Key and have been involved with them for the last year as well. Working for a company that contributes to a cause that is very near and dear to my heart is icing on the cake!

With house prices climbing, more and more individuals are opting to move to 'villages' like this. What is your opinion on these unique communities, and could you ever live in one?

So-called Medieval Villages are being touted as a potential solution to housing affordability in Canada, offering off-the-grid homes at an unbeatable price.
