The Prime rate has risen by another .50%. For the

The Prime rate has risen by another .50%. For the first time in 15 years, fixed rates are now lower than variable rates across the board. The borrowing costs for variable rate mortgage and lines of credit will rise. Not the news any of us wanted, but the new reality is that inflation is severely impacting the Prime lending rate and is not slowing quickly enough.

Thoughts on the news from Sherry Cooper, DLC Chief Economist - "The Bank of Canada hikes the Prime rate by 50 bps.... The Governing Council of the Bank of Canada raised its target for the overnight policy rate by 50 basis points today to 4.25% and signalled that the Council would "consider whether the policy interest rate needs to rise further to bring supply and demand back into balance and return inflation to target.

This is more dovish language than in earlier actions where they asserted that rates would need to rise further. Some have interpreted this new press release to imply that the Bank of Canada will now pause or pivot. Expect there will be additional rate hikes next year, but they will be more measured and not on every decision date. The BoC may refrain from dropping Prime until 2024.

Three-month rates of change in core inflation have come down, an early indicator that price pressures may be losing momentum. However, inflation is still too high, and short-term inflation expectations remain elevated."

Bottom line: This will likely be the last oversized rate hike this cycle. The Governing Council next meets on January 25. Whether they raise rates will be data-dependent. If they do, it will likely be by 25 bps. Even if they pause at that meeting, it does not rule out additional moves later in the year if excess demand persists. I expect further monetary tightening, the continued bear market in equities, and a further correction in house prices.

The end of each year is a great time to start to plan for next year’s budget. ✨🎄💸

That may be buying your first home, your dream home or cottage or figuring out how to manage debts and pay down your mortgage faster. There are many ways to tackle your mortgage or reduce consumer debt with a mortgage refinance. 🏦

Our advice begins with a thorough mortgage pre-approval. Did you know that we provide pre-approvals for first time home buyers but also for home buyers selling a home and buying, downsizing, or planning for a rental property or cottage? We also talk to many clients about buying a home for family - a child going off to university or aging parents. 📚 Budgets are great tool for all ages and all financial decisions. 🤓

So if you want to talk through options, run the numbers and create a plan we are here to help! 👋🏻

Thinking about buying your first home? Start by ge

Thinking about buying your first home? Start by getting pre-approved!

By a human, not an online app. Mortgage pre-approvals should take up to one hour (60 minutes, not 60 seconds). We will collect details on employment, savings, debts, down payment, your credit score, and the range of homes you are interested in. 😊

A pre-approval tells you your mortgage maximum (the highest approvable mortgage amount), provides example payments, and explains interest rates, fine print, and all the options that a great mortgage should have (things like pre-payments to principle). Now is the time, plan ahead and let’s build your homeownership budget together. 🏡

PSA 🚨

When you are buying a new home really, really consider that during the three weeks before the possession date it’s best to be at home, not travelling OR planning ahead to sign with your lawyer in advance of any travel plans. Remember that signing in advance requires every stage - the financing condition period, providing your income, downpayment and property documents and signing forms to be completed in advance. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Let’s get real… rising interest rates are putt

Let’s get real… rising interest rates are putting pressure on the budgets of many! It’s a very good time to review spending, set up and stick to a monthly budget, and reduce credit card and line of credit balances! Don’t avoid the tough budget conversations. 🫣

Our clients were all approved at the federal government qualifying interest rate - at least 2% higher than the actual rate they received. 👍🏻 Rising rates were factored into their mortgage approvals.

For variable rate mortgage holders - don’t lock into a fixed rate without a robust conversation around the reasons and possible outcome. Five years is a very long time. Variable rates are like waves. 🌊 They are peaking, will flatten and in the future (predicting when isn’t easy 🔮) will decline. It’s not a always going up or always going down situation. 📉📈

We are volitile times - serious inflation, supply chain challenges, war, global oil and gas shortages and rising costs energy costs are all playing a roll in the Bank of Canada’s rate decisions. 🤔

All interest rates are in essence “variable” as most Canadians have five year terms. Every five years the rate will change. To lock into a fixed rate at what may be the peak time of variable rates may not be wise. 🤓 These decisions are highly dependent on your personal situation, employment, budget, cash flow and future plans for the property. 🏠
