Looking at interest rates in greater detail, it’s clear we don’t need to fret about the rates. The key interest rate is currently holding at 1.75%, a decision announced by the Bank of Canada on January 9, 2019. The average since 1935 is approximately 11%. So our current rate is absolutely excellent.

Some have expressed concern about the ‘Stress Test’. Well, let’s just say don’t stress the stress test. Banks have been doing their own form of stress test for years, and quite honestly, this test just ensures you are buying within your means. We always recommend buyers get themselves pre-approved for a mortgage, and then we work within that budget.
