Fall 2021 Mortgage Review
In the past month, Canada 5 Year Government Bond yields went from a low of .78 up to high of 1.09 as of Sept. 28th. Most of that happened in the last week. That’s a pretty significant move. These yields are what mortgage lenders in Canada base their fixed rate residential mortgage rates off of. In response to these increases, many of our lenders have already bumped up their 5-year fixed rates accordingly. For example, last week we had many lenders offering 1.89% for a standard high ratio full featured 5 year fixed rate mortgage. Today many of those same lenders are now in the 2.19-2.24% range.
