Ontario homeowners rush to variable-rate mortgages after Bank of Canada’s rate cut, seeking savings amid uncertainty.
The Bank of Canada’s first rate cut since March has sparked a 30% surge in Ontario homeowners’ interest in variable-rate mortgages, as borrowers hope to save on payments if further cuts follow.
While variable rates can lower payments when rates fall, they carry risk if rates rise, unlike fixed rates that offer stable, predictable payments.
Current rates show a narrow gap—about half a percentage point—between fixed (4.62%) and variable (4.23%) five-year mortgages, with savings only likely if multiple cuts occur.
Experts caution that variable rates remain a financial gamble and advise homeowners to assess their risk tolerance and consult mortgage professionals before switching, especially with the next rate decision pending on October 29.
