Hi Everyone,
I heard the cheer from across Canada when the banks followed suit with the decrease in the prime rate to 3.00%. Now the mortgage lenders across the country are following with decreases in the long term fixed rates. There are several lenders with 5 year fixed rates down to the 4.5% range and some lenders even lower.
This is basically what`s been predicted at many of the REIN meetings and by our good friend Benjamin Tal with CIBC. Remaining flexible in your long term mortgage strategy is still a great plan, and you`re going to have some good options over the next several months.
