On My Radar
One 55+ Client. Potentially Two Transactions.
Your 60-something clients won't list until they've found the next place, and won't buy until they've sold. On Thursday, November 19 (6–7 p.m. PT / 7–8 p.m. MT, on Zoom), I'm hosting a free masterclass on how homeowners 55+ can use a reverse or payment-optional mortgage to buy the next home first, or move and keep the current one for a while.
For you: offers without a subject-to-sale clause, sellers who aren't negotiating against a closing date, and equity-rich retirees back in the market even without employment income. Attendees get the free Home Equity Planner Workbook.

Want a done-for-you invite for your 55+ clients? Send me an email and I will provide an email kit to send to your clients.

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
3.80% – 4.99%
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.
