Variable Rates

• Variable Rates are based on the Bank of Canada’s Prime Rate which is currently at 3%. The BOC meet quarterly and discuss whether to change the rate or not based on the Real Estate Market. Banks/Lenders then decide what Variable Rate they are willing to loan there money out for.
• Your monthly payments might change if the Prime Rate changes.
• Historically Variable rates have been lower than fixed rates.

Fixed Rates

• Fixed Rates change based on Canadian Bond Yields. A bond Yield is the amount of return an investor gets from buying a Bond. Therefore if the price of a Canadian Bond increases the yield/fixed interest rate decreases.
• Monthly Payments will NOT fluctuate.
