It’s valuable when you’re looking for a mortgage to shop around and compare and contrast all the terms of your offers, not just the interest rate you’re being quoted. Bankrate is a great place to start, because you can take advantage of our mortgage rate comparison tool and stay up to date on current rates. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is the most popular loan for homeowners. Your best rate and terms may be from an online lender, the bank down the street or perhaps through a mortgage broker. This time a month ago, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was higher, at 5.50 percent. “Mortgage rates continue to surge, as they have since the beginning of the year, as the outlook takes shape for Fed rate hikes that are sooner and faster than previously expected,” McBride says. The days of sub-3 percent mortgage interest on the 30-year fixed are behind us, and many experts think the average rate on this loan will be 3.5 to 4 percent by the end of 2022. The average 30-year fixed-refinance rate is 5.33 percent, up 9 basis points compared with a week ago. Mortgage rates plunged early in the pandemic and scraped record lows — below 3 percent — at the start of 2021. A month ago, the average rate was above that, at 5.48 percent. Monthly payments on a 15-year fixed mortgage at that rate will cost $510 per $100,000 borrowed. The rates listed above are Bankrate’s overnight average rates and are based on the assumptions here.

With the Bank of Canada expected to keep raising its policy interest rate through 2023, experts expect the gap between fixed and variable mortgage rates to ...

“The rates are higher, but it may give you that fixed payment you're looking for, and ultimately that peace of mind.” Hogue said he forecasts another interest rate hike of 50 basis points in July, followed by two more increases of 25 basis points before the end of 2022. “Young people and immigrants have been phased out of the market in Canada because of this extraordinary, unprecedented and I believe unjustified increase [in home prices] in the last two, three years,” Lee said. “The cooling down reflects now the true value of a home, not an inflated value based on outside economic factors.” Lower home prices have already led to instances of buyer’s remorse within the market, with some homebuyers expressing concern they may have overpaid for a newly purchased property that is now declining in value. With several interest rate increases expected from the Bank of Canada going forward, Hogue said he acknowledges that some borrowers may be concerned about whether they’ll be able to meet their debt obligations. “So the vast majority of mortgage holders should be able to withstand higher rates.” Ultimately, Hogue, Lee and Ostland all say the decision to opt for one type of mortgage over the other comes down to individual risk appetite. “If anybody thinks that rates are going up, that’s the clue to go fixed,” Lee told CTVNews.ca on Tuesday in a telephone interview. With the Bank of Canada raising its policy interest rate through 2023, experts expect the gap between fixed and variable mortgage rates to shrink. Variable mortgage rates are lower than fixed mortgage rates at the moment. Variable-rate mortgages have an interest rate that can fluctuate in relation to the Bank of Canada’s overnight rate.
