With the Bank of Canada’s recent rate cut, many Ontario buyers are wondering:
👉 Should I lock in a fixed rate or go variable?
Let’s keep it simple 👇
Fixed Rate = Stability & Peace of Mind
✅ Predictable monthly payments
✅ Protection if rates rise
⚠️ Slightly higher starting point + bigger penalties if you break early
💡 Best for buyers who want budgeting certainty or plan to stay put for a few years.
Variable Rate = Flexibility & Opportunity
✅ Easier to break or refinance
✅ Potential to save if rates trend down
⚠️ Payments may rise if rates increase
💡 Best for those comfortable with some risk or planning to move/refinance sooner.
How to Decide….
👉 Your best option depends on your goals, comfort with risk, and long-term plans.
👉 A mortgage isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s a strategy designed around you.
As both a real estate and mortgage professional, I help clients look beyond the rate and find the structure that truly fits their lifestyle and financial goals.
