Fixed mortgage rates experienced another decline this week, offering a bit of relief to prospective homeowners and those looking to refinance. The lowest nationally advertised rates for uninsured two-year and five-year fixed mortgages dropped by 11 and 10 basis points, respectively, bringing them down to 6.08% and 5.04%.
However, for borrowers who don't need short-term financing, the cost of one- and two-year mortgage options remains relatively high. Although these rates are still considered steep, they are expected to gradually decrease as the Bank of Canada continues to ease its monetary policy.
Among the various mortgage products, three-year fixed terms continue to be the most popular choice for Canadians. These terms strike a balance between rate stability and affordability, with leading national offers currently at 4.84% for insured mortgages and 5.24% for uninsured ones.
On the variable-rate side, borrowers are keeping a close eye on the Bank of Canada, hoping for a rate cut in the coming month. However, these hopes were somewhat dashed after inflation data released on Tuesday showed a disappointing rise. The average core inflation rate increased by 0.15 percentage points, reaching 2.85%, which could temper expectations for a near-term rate reduction.
Despite the inflation setback, market indicators such as forward rate data from CanDeal DNA suggest that a rate cut might still be on the horizon by September. The upcoming July 24 Bank of Canada meeting remains a pivotal date for potential rate changes. Before then, critical economic data, including a major jobs report next Friday and another key Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, will heavily influence the central bank’s decision.
