On My Radar
Listings With Income Suites
Your suite listing's buyer pool may be bigger than you think. Most lenders only credit a buyer with about 50% of the suite's rent, but I work with lenders that apply nearly all of it against the mortgage on legal and legally non-conforming suites. That can cut the income a buyer needs by up to 15% and move them into a higher price range, turning "we can't afford that house" into an accepted offer. Before you write off a buyer who's "just short," call me.

Why these matter: Government of Canada bond yields are the main input lenders use to price fixed mortgages, so fixed rates tend to track them over time.

Current Rate Ranges
Variable to 5-Year Fixed
3.60% – 4.85%
There are thousands of unique combinations of loan types, terms, and lender programs; a buyer’s exact rate is customized to their specific situation. The daily Rate Ranges give you a reliable baseline, but we always run the actual scenario to give your clients an honest, precise, personalized quote.
