Bank of Canada raises its overnight rate to 0.50%, impacting variable rate mortgages, credit cards, and lines of credit. Learn how this affects your payments and get expert advice from DLC Mortgage Agent, Cam Wilson.
Chief Economist of DLC, Dr. Sherry Cooper had suggested in January that we would not see a Bank of Canada rate increase until March or April.
She is correct, today the Bank of Canada raised their overnight rate from 0.25% to 0.50%. This rate change affects the following type of financial vehicles:
Please note the 0.25% increase changes a $400,000 variable mortgage with 25 years remaining on the amortization, accordingly:
Former Prime rate @ 2.45% with a 1% discount (client paying 1.45%):
$1,589.55 per month
New Prime rate @ 2.70% with a 1% discount (client paying 1.70%):
$1,636.46
We see an increase on the above example of $46.91 per month.
