The Bank of Canada increased its policy rate by 0.25% for the first time since July 2023.
What does this mean for your mortgage?
Fixed Rate: No change! Your existing mortgage rate is not impacted.
Variable Rate (Fixed Payment): Your payment generally stays the same, but more goes toward interest and less toward principal, extending your amortization.
Adjustable Rate or HELOC: Expect an increase in borrowing costs. Adjustable mortgage payments will increase, while HELOC interest costs will rise.
Not all mortgages are impacted the same way! If you’re unsure how this affects you, we’re always happy to review your options.
