Hey everyone!

I started noticing a lot more traffic to my business page. That is great! However, I migrated over to have all my posts on my personal page almost a year ago now so for more mortgage news, general information and also some fun personal stuff feel free to check out my regular personal page (as always, feel free to friend me anytime too).

PS: I will be shutting down this business page in about 7 days (as everything has migrated over to my main page :)

Cheers

I have been chatting with a lot of people who are concerned about the housing market and the current trend of raising rates.

If you are interested in learning more, check out the link below, it has great information from one of Canadas top economists.

As always, reach out to me anytime if you have any questions or would like more information about your own mortgage

Despite softening origination activity, mortgage professionals should welcome the current "reset" to healthier market conditions.

Today, The Bank of Canada (Article below) has announced, as expected, another rate increase of 0.5%. This will change Canada's major banks' prime lending rate from 3.20% to 3.70%. There will likely be more increases coming but please keep in mind that the prime rate is still lower than it was prior to the pandemic rate drops (which started in March 2020).

For all those with Variable rate mortgages, continue to enjoy the savings as variable rates are still much lower than the current fixed. If you would like help navigating your mortgage, please reach out to me, I would be happy to help!

The Bank of Canada today increased its target for the overnight rate to 1½%, with the Bank Rate at 1¾% and the deposit rate at 1½%.

Thank you Laurent for being such a great guest and providing such great information. If you have a few minutes, I suggest you check this episode out!

Check this article out… potential for another 0.75% hike. The Bank of Canada needs to get a handle on inflation but keep in mind we are currently in a lower variable rate environment then it was prior to the pandemic. Just breathe!

To all those with variable rate mortgages, this is a good opportunity to keep saving money

Traders placed bets on a 75-basis-point rate hike from the Bank of Canada after Governor Tiff Macklem acknowledged the potential for rapid increases to borrowing costs to curb inflation that’s at a three-decade high.

Check out my new podcast episode of The BC Real Estate Review. For many the Vancouver real estate market is nothing but an unobtainable fantasy and something that only very few take part in. That is only partly true, while the Vancouver market is notoriously difficult, there are opportunities as long as you are willing to be creative and find different solutions. This month my guest is Noam Dolgin, a realtor who helps countless people and their families to look at more sustainable and collaborative options as an opportunity to realize their dream of homeownership. If you find the Vancouver market difficult then this is the episode for you.

Bank of Canada increased their overnight lending rate by +0.5% today (first time in 22 yrs). This means the Prime Lending Rate will increase from 2.70% to 3.20%.

This seems like a lot but pause for a second and notice how the rate is still 0.75% less than our pre-pandemic Prime Rate of 3.95%.

The Bank of Canada hiked its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point to one per cent on Wednesday, a sign the bank is making good on its pledge to battle runaway inflation.

Big News today! The Bank of Canada (BoC) has raised interest rates to 0.5% (from 0.25%). This has been widely expected as the BoC is looking to reign in inflation and put the economy on a more stable footing.

In a mortgage sense, it is overall a minor change, if you have a variable rate mortgage, your rate goes up by 0.25% (which is about $60 bucks a month on a $500,000 mortgage). If you have a fixed rate, there is no change.

The Bank of Canada raised its benchmark interest rate to 0.5 per cent on Wednesday, a move that's expected to be the first of a series of small rate hikes this year in an attempt to tame inflation that has risen to its highest point in decades.
