I can get out of my fixed mortgage in 26 months and if I can get back down to a 3% rate that'd be great - it'd knock nearly $2k off my payments (from $9k), that's basically the payments for a BGTS 4.0.

My guess is that there's one more increase this Spring and then the BOC holds it till end of year and then we start seeing rates come back down bit by bit next Spring 2024. Not sure a 3% rate will be on the menu by Spring 2025 if that's the case but I'll take whatever is on offer by then.

As for taking a 5 year fixed - I'd take a 3 year at this point and see where it goes but I think 3 year fixed is a bit higher than 5 years. Do the math on what you'd save if the 4th and 5th year are at 3% to see if it works out.
