BOC Interest Rate Cut
What does this mean?
Hi,
I hope you’re having a great Wednesday. Check out what this crazy wind just blew in.
The Bank of Canada just cut interest rates by 0.25%...for the first time in 4 years.
Great, but what does this mean for YOU?
If you have a variable rate mortgage, you’ll save money.
For every $100,000 borrowed, you save about $15 per month.
To break it down:
At 5%, it use to cost $582/mo to borrow $100,000
Now at 4.75%, it costs $567 /mo to borrow $100,000
Here’s what you save each month based on your mortgage size:
$400,000 mortgage: Save $60
$500,000 mortgage: Save $75
$600,000 mortgage: Save $90
$700,000 mortgage: Save $105
Want to know what this could mean for the market? Reply with "thoughts" and I’ll share my ideas.
Best,
