What is the direction of Variable Rate Mortgages?
I think lower.
Here’s why:
This is an interesting spot for our Central Bankers. Canadian inflation is actually higher than expected which is the opposite of other developed economies.
Our inflation numbers are at, or just above the target 2%, but are still within the 1-3% range. We have a bit of wiggle room to stay within our inflation target band before reacting to the U.S.
With Canada’s high debt-to-income ratio, and the effects of the most recent rate hike yet to take effect in our economy, it’s possible a small move down could get in front of lower inflation numbers in Canada?
I think it’s possible we lag the U.S interest rate cut. But if the U.S is aggressively cutting their central rate, I think the Bank of Canada will have to respond.

In conclusion, the general direction of interest rates in Canada is lower for reasons above.
I’m crafting a campaign for those in my database with opportunities to save.
Here’s how this can happen for my past clients ….
The majority of my database DO NOT have restrictive Mortgages OR loans that are affiliated with branded Mortgage lenders.
This will afford you the option of examining the re-placement of your Mortgage with a different lender, at a lower interest rate. This is possible because there is not a massive penalty to exit.
I am finding these opportunities for you and will be reaching out to explain. Coming very soon!!
How would you like to lower your Mortgage payment by $200/month?
Talk soon,

Congratulations to Scott McKenna & Shannon McLeod. Two dear friends of mine were married this past weekend in Crowsnest Pass.
I was asked to MC their wedding. And I was nervous. Not for the obvious reasons of speaking in front of people …
But because I am a Toastmaster. And everyone knows it. I was putting pressure on myself to “deliver“.
I always thought one of the benefits of Toastmasters was to stem my nerves before public speaking. Turns out that was not the case :-).
Fun times regardless!!
