The central bank’s next decision is due Dec. 6, after two releases of jobs data, October inflation numbers and third-quarter gross domestic product figures. We follow some of our favourite analysts in Canada and Dr. Sherry Cooper is DLC’s very own, Sherry’s comments “I expect the Bank to pause rate hikes for the next six to nine months. When they finally begin to ease monetary policy, they will do so gradually, taking the overnight rate down to roughly 4% by the end of next year.” 

We will welcome her positive outlook above which would mean that your current Variable Rate would drop by 1% at the end of next year.  More and more we have clients opting back to the Variable Rate mortgage rather than shorter term fixed rates as the difference between today’s 3 year fixed rate and today’s variable rate is very close.  All it would take is one rate drop (.25%) next year and that would put their rate lower than the 3 year fixed for the balance of the term.

Our job in our office is to provide you with all options surrounding interest rates, lenders and products, everyone is different so don’t get caught up in listening to people that may not know your situation, do what’s best for you and your family. I would be happy to look at your current situation and put options together for you, whether you are purchasing, refinancing or renewing your mortgage term. Don’t navigate this process alone, let us do it for you at absolutely no cost to you. Email me by CLICKING HERE.  Or book a call with me HERE.
