Bank of Canada Announcement – March 8, 2023

General Angela Calla 8 Mar

With this new announcement, the Bank of Canada has decided not to increase prime interest rates. We expect this pause to continue in the attempt to curb the high inflation rates and further moves will be data-dependent.

Prime rate still remains at 6.70% for most banks, with some fixed-rate mortgages having come down off of the peak and well below the prime rate, fixed rates are allowing for more qualifications and improved cash flow. This stabilization presents an opportunity to get ahead in your mortgage planning strategy.

Recently, we were invited on the Steele and Vance Show and in a segment discussed what those who are looking to get into the market or are up for renewal should keep in mind. Here is a link to the short clip 2-minute clip.
