🚨 BANK OF CANADA RATE INCREASE!
The Bank of Canada has increased its key lending rate by 0.25% to 2.50%. But what does this mean for YOUR mortgage? 🏡
Here's the breakdown 👇
🏠 Variable Rate Mortgage (Static Payment):
Your payment stays the same, but more of it goes toward interest and less toward paying down your mortgage principal.
📈 Adjustable Rate Mortgage:
Your interest rate increases by 0.25%, and you'll see an increase in your mortgage payment.
💰 Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC):
Your borrowing costs will also increase, as HELOC rates are generally tied to the lender's prime rate.
🔒 Fixed Rate Mortgage:
Good news! Your existing fixed mortgage rate and payment are NOT impacted by this announcement.
📅 Next Bank of Canada Announcement: December 9, 2026.
