On Tuesday, the Bank of Canada announced "no changes" with Bank Prime remaining at 3%
Continued European uncertainty lead the bond rate to a new low for 2012. Most of of our lenders have followed the market and we have seen a downward adjustment in fixed rates. Five year money is currently in the 3.14%-3.19% range.
Keep in mind we still have 2 lenders offering 10 year funds at 3.89%. A wonderful option for those concerned with future rates.
If you have a variable rate of any more than prime +.75 or a fixed rate of 4.0% or more, we should explore the merits of refinancing to a lower rate.

The next meeting of the Bank of Canada is on July 18th, 2012.
