Taking a look at a 1 year and 3 year fixed rates
I’ve had some inquiries about taking a 1 year and 3 year fixed rate…and for good reason. A 1 year fixed rate can be had for about 2.50% and a 3 year fixed rate is 2.90%. This does make going with a shorter fixed term an attractive option if Bank Prime rate continues to increase.
Best Variable rate is around Prime less 0.65% or 0.70% for qualified applicants with some conditions…. that puts the Variable rate at 2.30% or 2.35%…
I like Variable rate mortgages for many reasons but these shorter, fixed terms can be a good alternative.. Make sure you understand all the terms and conditions… speak with a qualified Mortgage Broker.
