First Interest Rate Pause in a Year
For the first time in 12 months, the Bank of Canada didn’t touch the interest rate.
They’re holding steady at 2.75%. It’s a big shift — especially after they made a cut in March.
Why? Global uncertainty. Economists were hoping for another small cut, but with US tariffs being temporarily paused, Canada decided to hold off.
Bottom line: Mortgage rates may not drop just yet, but we’re no longer seeing hikes either.

Last week, I posted about some individual successes that our Sky Financial and We Connect families are having. This week, we are absolutely thrilled to announce that, with our entire team working tirelessly for our amazing clients, we have been awarded the President's Club Premier Award. This award is given to Mortgage Centre Canada franchises that achieve 250 to 500 million in Volume annually. That is a tremendous amount of Mortgages, especially in the Prairies.

We could not do this without an amazing team of truly incredible people, Our Sky and We Connect families, we are so thankful for each of you. Our Industry professionals from our lenders, our insurance providers, our title transfer companies, our appraisers, lawyers, our regulators, realtors, and our head office staff at both Mortgage Centre Canada and Dominion Lending Centre Groups. It takes a village to get a Mortgage across the finish line and takes this whole team pulling on the same rope together in Unison. We couldn't do it without you.

To our clients, you are the reason for everything. Thank you for your trust and loyalty.

Here is what our President Rich Spence said about our team:

"Your leadership has guided your franchise to incredible heights and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on this accomplishment and thank you for your commitment. As you know, Mortgage Centre Canada prides itself on the quality of our people; you and your office are among the best of the best."

From the bottom of our Heart - THANK YOU!!!!

Over the Next 12 Days, I am posting a tip a day if you are in your 20s, getting started in life, and are looking for some helpful hints on finances. Or perhaps you are older than your 20s and these tips might be helpful. Leave a comment with questions or thoughts on what is posted.

Tip #1 - Create a Budget

Track your Income and Expenses: Identify where your money comes from and where it goes. Use Budgeting apps or spreadsheets.

50/30/20 Rule: Allocate 50% of your income to needs (rent, groceries, gas, insurance) 30% to wants (entertainment, dining out) and 20% to savings and debt repayment.

That seems like a pretty simple first step. Stay tuned for Tip #2 tomorrow.

If you would like to fast-track your success to home ownership reach out to any of our Sky Financial Family we would be thrilled to assist you.
