📢 Bank of Canada Update: Let’s Clear Things Up!

You’ve probably seen the headlines: “Bank of Canada lowers rate to 2.75%!”

Sounds exciting, right? But let’s break down what it really means for your mortgage.

🚨 That 2.75%? It’s Not Your Mortgage Rate

That number refers to the overnight lending rate — the rate banks use to lend money to each other. It’s important, but it’s not the rate you’ll see on your mortgage.

What Actually Matters to You:

✔️ Prime Rate is now 4.95%

This is the key number for variable and adjustable-rate mortgages.

✔️ Fixed Rates?

They’re influenced by the bond market, not the Bank of Canada’s decisions. So if you’re in a fixed-rate mortgage, you won’t see an immediate change.

What Does This Mean for You?

• Fixed-Rate Mortgage: Your rate and payments remain unchanged.
• Variable or Adjustable-Rate Mortgage: Your interest rate (and possibly, your payment) may shift depending on your lender and mortgage terms.
