Bank of Canada Prime Rate Update September 7, 2011

As anticipated by most analysts, the Bank of Canada has decided to hold the key overnight interest rate at 1%. The prime rate was predicted to rise today as recently as a few months ago. However, the recent nasty economic news from almost all fronts helped convince the Bank of Canada to hold the Canada prime rate at the current level for the time being.

Canadian mortgage rates have already increased slightly due to the economic outlook. RBC and other banks have recently raised variable rate mortgage rates.

If your mortgage is due soon, or you want to lock in a great interest rate, you can find some of the best mortgage rates available at RateSupermarket.ca & BestMortgageOffers.ca

No Bank of Canada Interest Rate Hike This Year?

Just a few weeks ago the Bank of Canada was expected to raise interest rates in September. This appears to be off the table now with all the recent economic turmoil in the U.S. and Europe. In fact, a rate decrease may be coming due to the recent interest rate freeze announced in the U.S. An interest rate cut however could lead to lower mortgage rates and tempt homebuyers to borrow beyond their limits.

In fact, 5 year fixed mortgage rates are now at the lowest rate seen in quite a while and could go lower. This is good news for those who would like to lock in a great rate, but the big question is when to act. Check out the current mortgage interest rates by clicking on the rate table below.
