Rates hold steady! A decision widely expected by economists, "The central bank announced this morning that it was keeping that trendsetting interest rate, which directly impacts variable mortgage rates, at its current level of 2.25%. That marks the fifth consecutive rate hold in a row, a streak that began in December and has continued through 2026" cited by CMP Magazine.

With so much current global instability, it's suggested there may very well be a freeze on this rate until the end of 2026. Highly dependent on the outcome and duration of the conflict in Iran, Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem will have the ear of many Canadians this morning as he cautiously addresses the vision going forward.

If you're looking at purchasing your dream home which is in need of some upgrades, consider the purchase plus improvements program. Under a Purchase Plus Improvements mortgage, acceptable improvements are generally defined as permanent, fixed upgrades that increase the lasting market value of the property.

Acceptable Improvements:
Major Updates: Kitchen and bathroom remodels, finishing a basement, or adding a legal secondary suite.

Mechanical & Structural: HVAC upgrades (new furnace or A/C), plumbing, electrical panel replacements, and foundation repairs.

Exterior & Envelope: Roof replacement, new windows and doors, siding, and upgraded insulation.

Interior Finishings: New hardwood or tile floors, drywall, built-in cabinetry, and upgraded fixtures.

Energy-Efficient Upgrades: Adding solar panels, energy-efficient heat pumps, or smart home integrations that reduce operating costs.

Let's discuss your options and how this program works.

Tip Tuesday: 🔑 3 Reasons Self-Employed Canadians Should Work With a Mortgage Broker

1️⃣ More Flexible Income Solutions
Traditional banks often struggle with self-employed income because of write-offs and fluctuating earnings. Mortgage brokers have access to lenders who understand business owners and can use alternative income verification methods to help qualify you.

2️⃣ Access to More Lender Options
Not every lender treats self-employed applicants the same. A mortgage broker can shop multiple lenders — including banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders — to find a solution tailored to your situation.

3️⃣ Strategic Structuring Can Improve Approval Chances
A broker can help position your application properly by reviewing tax returns, business financials, retained earnings, and debt structure before submitting your file — helping reduce delays, stress, and potential declines.

💡 Self-employed doesn’t mean impossible. It just means strategy matters more.
