🏡 Mortgage rates are moving, but what does that actually mean for you?

With continued uncertainty around mortgage rates, many homeowners are wondering: Should I choose variable or fixed?

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

While the Bank of Canada has held rates steady, we’ve still seen movement in the mortgage market. We’re also seeing more homeowners consider variable mortgages, especially because of the flexibility they can offer, including the potential to convert to a fixed rate.

But your mortgage rate is only one piece of the puzzle.

Your payment frequency, amortization, other outstanding debt, and overall financial situation can all have a significant impact on the outcome. That’s why it’s important to look at the actual numbers for your household rather than simply choosing whichever rate looks lowest today.

And when it comes to fixed rates, volatility means time can be an asset. Understanding your options early gives you more opportunity to make an informed decision rather than feeling pressured to react.

💡 Take your power back. Dollarize your options.

One conversation with me could potentially save you thousands of dollars and help you make decisions that better protect your wealth and support your long-term financial goals.

Working with me also means having someone who can look at multiple lending options and focus on what makes the most sense for you, rather than being limited to one lender.
