That's a lot of sticks for c lais navigate. One wrong move at night and you're done. Or they open the door too wide into the beams.

Well let's say it's about 4.8% fixed now after negotiation pre rate drop. -0.75% = low 4% by end of year, then -1.25% base case next year. So you're down to 2.75% by year end? But then fixed isn't linked to prime, you gotta see what happens to the bonds.

When we renew we'll probably be switching back to variable unless the fixed rates are really good. If you need to renew ATM it's a throw between the two.

When I look at Ratehub it says even as of today (before the rate drop) that you could get as low as 4.19% and some big banks were in the 4.5-4.7 range already. I'm guessing the rate already priced in the drop though.
Forecasts say to expect the BOC rate to drop to between 2.25 and 3.25 by end of 2025 (from today's 4.25%). There's two more announcements this year and it's pretty much a sure thing that we'll see a pair of .25% drops which gets us down to 3.75% so my money is on it going below 3% for sure which hopefully gets us to a 3% or so mortgage rate.

Variable is still quite expensive ~6%, so 5.25% by year end. And 4% by end of 25. Unless banks starts offering higher discount rates again. Which they should as the whole point of variable is that it's cheaper than fixed due to no guarantees, but not sure when that point will be

4.44 3-year fixed
4.34 5-year fixed
But apparently won't drop much since bond market priced in this drop already. Quote:

Depending on when you mean in spring it could be 4 to 6 more rate announcements between now and then so I'd guess the max you'd see it drop is 1.5% from now but it could be as little as .75%.
I renew no later than Oct 27th which means I have 8 announcements left (there's one on Oct 29th so maybe I'm lucky and that change is priced in but I doubt it).

Check out this listing, 3 million in Fraser heights https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/2...-street-surrey
The original home burnt down a few years ago and it finally got rebuilt into this thing. Have a few friends who live nearby.

So are those beams actually for support or looks? Buddy Guy special? The basement looks pretty buddy guy special.

We have to renew our mortgage in early January 2025. Our current mortage is a blended rate of 5.11% that expires in December. Between now and then, there is one more rate annoucement. We are still not sure what we are going to do, but we have some time yet to figure it out.

8 bedrooms.
No one in their right mind would choose that house over any other house at that price point unless you were moving in 10+ people.

$3m?! must come with the porsche in the drive way too 
is it common for them not to put the pic of the outside of the house as the front page/1st pic or is this lazy realting? i had to open a pic link and scroll all the way down to see what the house actually looks like which seems silly to me from a marketing stand point.
and if i had to vote i'd say those are not structural beams but for show, but i'm no structural engineer or carpenter

I just did this for shits and giggles. $3m house. 20% down = $600000. Property transfer tax alone is $68000. To qualify $2400000 at 4.5% over 30y you need $450000 annual income. Monthly payment is $12160  | |
