BANK PRIME RATE

As of November 2, 2019 the Bank Prime Rate was

3.00
%

On December 7th, 2009the Bank of Canada announced no change in the bank rate, read more.  On September 8th, 2010 the Bank of Canada increased the prime lending rate another .25% to make it 1.00%. Bank prime rate is 2% higher than this, so Bank Prime is now 3%

On July 20th, 2010 the Bank of Canada increased their prime rate another .25% to 0.75% The last increase was June 1st 2010 and it was increased by .25% to 0.50%

The major banks in Canada charge their best customers 2% above the Bank of Canada Prime Rate, which means that the Bank Prime or Prime Rate that we see is now 2.75%

Bank Prime Rate means "best" and this is the rate that banks charge their absolute best customers for loans, which is usually only other lending institutions.

Changes in the Bank of Canada prime rate influence changes in other interest rates, including variable interest rate mortgages. This "bank rate" rate fluctuates based on economic conditions.

Some mortgage companies offer interest rates starting at Prime minus .1% (or more) as an incentive to borrow from them!  These are known as "SUB PRIME" Mortgages and we know what happened in the US when too many sub-prime mortgages were given out in the mid 2000's   One of the dangers with sub-prime mortgages is when they come due too early in the mortgage term and rates have increased, it's difficult to make the change to much larger payments.

July news to come shortly! June News !

Graph of Average Sales Prices in the GTA

 

May 2011 was another very strong month for sales and prices in the GTA.

Last month sales were up about 9% last month, comparing year over year, the volume of sales year to date continue to be strong.

Average prices are up considerably when you compare year over year.  Prices year over year are up over 9%

Historically, May is one of the strongest months and this May 2011 was no exception  There continues to be "pent up" demand and with such low inventories, anything that comes on the market that shows well and is priced well get's sold very quick.

I hope this finds you healthy and happy!

All the best,

Mark

Variable rates are now about Prime or just a little less at Prime MINUS about .5% to .9% or so, read more

Mortgage interest rates have risen slightly over the past month or so, due to the bank rate increase. Bank of Canada is predicting rates will increase again in mid year, read more

Any way you look at it, interest rates are at or near all time lows with bank prime at 3.00% , read more.

Our market continues to do very well, prices are up and sales volumes are good.  There are a good number of homes currently for sale in Mississauga, we need good homes to sell!

It will be interesting to see what the second quarter of 2011 brings as the spring market is here and there seems to be a large amount of demand for properties in Mississauga and the GTA. 

I predict that it will be a very strong market with more properties coming on the market in May giving a slightly larger selection to buyers.  Average prices will likely increase every month for the next 2 months.  Volume of sales will also increase every month in the next quarter, if you are thinking of buying now is the time to do it!.

My observations for the Mississauga marketplace is that we continue to see that prices continue to be strong and increase slightly in many areas over the next few months.

June News Report

Last months Resale Housing Results Show Balanced Market!

This is the latest monthly report for TREB for the average prices and the number of sales in previous month, both were very strong last month.

This is the latest report from the Toronto Real Estate Board on prices for May 2011

Greater Toronto REALTORS® Report May Resale Housing Market Figures

TORONTO, June 3, 2011 – Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 10,046 sales in May 2011 –

This figure is up six per cent compared to May 2010. This result was the second best on record for May under the current Toronto Real Estate Board service area. The number of new listings in May, at 16,076, was down 15 per cent compared to last year.

“Positive economic news and low borrowing costs led to strong sales through the first five months of the year, including the increase in May,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Bill Johnston. “At the same time, the market has become much tighter compared to last year, due to a substantial dip in new listings.”

Homes were on the market for an average of 23 days and sold for an average price of $485,520– up nine per cent compared to $446,593 in May 2010. The strongest rate of price growth was experienced for single-detached homes sold in the City of Toronto.

“We have seen clear-cut seller’s market conditions emerge over the past two to three months,” explained Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “The robust price appreciation that we have seen will hopefully prompt more households to list, resulting in a more balanced market later this year,” continued Mercer.

Median Price
In May, the median price was $400,000, from the $376,750 recorded during May of 2010

I found this very interesting mortgage rate website on the internet where they survey mortgage experts to gauge the state of mortgage rates over the next 30 to 45 days: Will rates rise, fall or remain relatively unchanged?

May Report for real estate sales figures are now out.  Last month statistics are now in the books and the bottom line is Market Remains Strong!

Listing inventories are low, so if you are thinking of selling, this is a good time to list your home.  The market has been 'very good' for the past month or so and new listings are need.  Would you like a Complimentary & Quick Over-The-Net Home Evaluation of your property?

Price trends over the past 13 years indicate that prices will likely increase over the next month or so. 

It appears as if rates may hold steady for the short term.  Many feel The Bank of Canada may hold the course in the near future on their current level of 4.75% prime, (Current Bank prime is shown here), so this should keep mortgage interest rates at their current levels. 

Average single family residential prices were UP compared to the previous month.  This is typical for this time of year.  Price trends over the past 13 years indicate that prices will likely increase over the next month or so. 

Last month was another very solid month to add to another banner year in real estate in the GTA.  See graphs of the sales figures, read more
