5 year rates bottoming

Well those pesky Bond yields have started to rise again!
Just passed 2.65% today after optomistic comments about an early recovery from the recession by Mark Carney of the Bank of Canada.

What does this mean to mortgage consumers? If you are a little uncomfortable with variable rate products currently offering 2.50% you might want to lock into your lenders current 5 year rate. We have many lenders currently offering 4.19-4.29% for 5 year fixed.

Nobody knows the future, so remember to always consult a licensed mortgage professional about your individual situation.
