In today’s market, there are a number of home-owners still enjoying variable rate products of Prime – 0.75% (2.25%) or better; a rate that is no longer offered in the Canadian mortgage market. Often times home-owners will call us at MonsterMortgage.ca and will talk about how their bank has contacted them in regards to changing their 2.25% variable rate mortgage into a fixed rate mortgage at today’s fixed interest rates of 3.50% or higher.
Kristian discusses the banking institutions’ thinking behind this and asks the question, “Why didn’t my bank call me to offer a lower variable rate when I was carrying a higher fixed interest rate?”
Before making a move to lock in your variable interest rate mortgage, give your local mortgage professional a phone call and ask them to assess your mortgage situation for you. If you have any mortgage questions of your own, e-mail MonsterMortgage.ca directly at Info@MonsterMortgage.ca or leave your questions here.
