In addition to recent rate hikes, we have even more regulation changes coming that will make it more difficult to qualify for mortgages and access your equity from this point on.

To protect yourself in the best way possible:

1. If you have a mortgage renewal in the next year, please contact us directly to begin reviewing your options now

2. If you have debt outside of your mortgage, now is the time for us to help you restructure your mortgage and pay it off by using your equity

3. If you are considering home renovations, please contact us to access your equity to cover the costs of the improvements

4. If you want to access your equity for any investments, please contact us at callateam@dominionlending.ca or 604-802-3983 before the rules change in order to best position yourself.

Bank of Canada Raises Rates

General Angela Calla 7 Sep

The Bank of Canada is raising its target for the overnight rate to 1 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 1/4 per cent and the deposit rate is 3/4 per cent. It is most likely prime will follow with the full .25 percent increase within hours if not a day.

Should you lock in your mortgage? I would suspect this will be the last increase that is expected due to global economic factors, and political changes. This now has reversed the 2 decreases in 2015. I personally am staying the variable rate mortgage course (which is not a decision for everybody pending your personal circumstances). The average borrower with a 300k mortgage will see a monthly increase of $50 per month.

The full press release can be viewed here: https://www2.mambonetcom.com/cgi-bin/public/redir.pl?cid=477&rid=794442&id=2456

Article of note: https://www2.mambonetcom.com/cgi-bin/public/redir.pl?cid=477&rid=794442&id=2457

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is October 25, 2017. The next full update of the Bank’s outlook for the economy and inflation, including risks to the projection, will be published in the MPR at the same time.

If you have questions on your mortgage kindly email us, or call 604-802-3983.
