Bank of Canada Drops Prime a further .25%. Prime now at 4.00%, Fixed rates range from 5.59% - 5.90% for a discounted 5 year.
Surrey, BC - Oct. 22, 2008 - The Bank of Canada dropped Prime again today and the Banks have followed along and adjusted theirs to 4.00%. Indicating there may be more cuts to Prime in the future, the Bank of Canada completely removed any talk of Inflation fighting and indicated both the US & Canada will see or are in a recession.
So what does this mean for you? If you are in a variable product we set up for you, stay in it! Your rate will be going down by another .25%! Now is not the time to lock in, as fixed rates will likely start to drop near the end of the year and certainly into the new year as competition comes back into the market. If you are in the midst of getting refinanced or purchasing with Invis on the Peninsula, those rates are in place. Our plan for those clients needing to plan a transaction in the current market will likely be to opt for open products like lines of credit or possibly a 1 year fixed in the 4.75% range and the flexiblitiy to move you to a better product as they start to reemerge. Call us for a no obligation review at anytime.
