Bank of Canada Interest Rate Cuts | Find out how it affects your mortgage
Manage episode 422901974 series 2965970
On June 5th, 2024, the Bank of Canada announced a rate cut of 25 basis points, a move that has significant implications for the Canadian economy and personal finances. This decision, aimed at stimulating economic growth, is expected to have a broad impact on various financial products, including mortgages and home equity loans. For homeowners and potential buyers, the most immediate effect will be on mortgage interest rates. The rate cut typically leads to lower mortgage rates, making it cheaper for Canadians to borrow money for home purchases. Existing homeowners with variable-rate mortgages will likely see a reduction in their monthly payments. This could also be an opportune time for those with fixed-rate mortgages nearing renewal to potentially secure lower interest rates.
