inherit;\">As we are going into some of the most trying times this country has faced in years, many of our clients are wondering about what direction the mortgage market in Canada will take. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Over the last number of days, I have received many emails from our clients requesting information on rates as well as market updates.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Real estate, in general, is a very stable investment. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is due in part to the length of time it takes someone to liquidate a property. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, over the last number of days, we have seen layoffs occur and a major shift occurs in the mortgage interest rates. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This can and will have an impact on the housing market.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Although we have not seen a major decline in the number of transactions occurring in the market, it is expected that the pandemic will have a cooling effect on Real estate markets across the country. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is due in part to the self-isolation measures that many Canadians are taking part in. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I do believe however that this will only be temporary and in the next couple of weeks to a month, we will see things going back to normal as the weather warms up and the crisis is brought under control.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is strongly recommended that during this period of time if you will be visiting homes. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You must take preventative measures for your safety and the safety of the homeowners that reside in the home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A few recommendations that we have for our buyers are as follows &#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Make sure to refrain from touching any furniture in the home you are visiting<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You should be sanitizing your hands before and after any home visit.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you are feeling unwell DO NOT VISIT ANY HOMES.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As well if you are selling a home and you are not well please DO NOT ACCEPT ANY VISITS<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Once visits are over in a home the real estate broker and client should take measures to sterilize surfaces<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On the Mortgage front, we have seen some major changes come up. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some rates have gone down while others have gone up. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The question is what is going on. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Let&#8217;s dive into it and address each item individually.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Mortgage interest rates and the Bank of Canada rate reductions.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the last couple of weeks, we have seen the Bank of Canada cut rates twice in an effort to stimulate and take protective measures for the economy. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Central Banks overnight rate (Policy Interest rate) was cut on <\/span><\/span><a href=\"\/?p=38567\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">March 4th, 2020 by .50%<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , and then on <\/span><\/span><a href=\"\/?p=38569\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">March 16th, 2020, it was cut again in an Emergency meeting by another .50%<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> . <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The combination of both these cuts has lowered the overnight rate down to .75%.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What is the overnight rate exactly and how does it impact me?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Simply put, the Overnight Rate is the rate at which major financial institutions borrow and lend funds amongst themselves. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The BoC sets the target for this rate and it is also referred to as the Bank&#8217;s policy interest rate.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The way it impacts the average consumer is that it influences other interest rates such as the bank&#8217;s prime rate. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The prime rate is used when one talks about variable-rate mortgages, home lines of credit and personal lines of credit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When someone takes out a variable rate mortgage it comes with a guarantee of what the premium or the discount that you receive off the prime rate is.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Here is an example to illustrate.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A current 5 yr Variable comes with a -1% discount off the prime rate. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If the Prime rate is 3.45% at Bank ABC, this would give you a mortgage rate of 2.45%. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The guarantee that you have for the next five years is the discount off the prime. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In our example using a 1% discount, if the prime rate drops to 2.95%, then your rate drops accordingly and the new rate will be 1.95%. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If the prime rate goes up, then your rate goes up. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is expected that as the prime rate drops and the threat of recession comes up we will see the banks reduce the discount that they have been offering. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We have already seen a few institutions raise the discount from -1% to -.25%<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How is the Bank&#8217;s prime rate calculated?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For the majority of institutions today they are charging a premium on the Overnight rate of 2.2%. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A couple of banks are charging a slightly higher premium on the Overnight rate but nothing crazy. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As we previously said if the Overnight Rate is at .75% and the banks are charging a 2.2% premium on that rate, then the prime rate ends up at 2.95% We have seen over the last number of days banks have cut the prime rate down to this level.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How does the Overnight rate impact the economy?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What is the point of the Overnight rate or Policy Rate<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Overnight rate is one of the main tools that the BoC uses to influence inflation. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The goal of the BoC is to keep inflation low. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This creates an environment that is stable and predictable. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is also used to determine lending rates by the banks. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It will also influence what the banks will pay on GICs and other savings as well.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Will the reduction of the overnight rate impact my 5yr fixed rate.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Overnight rate does not have a direct impact on the 5yr fixed rate or fixed rates in general. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">These rates are based on the bond market and as such do not get directly influenced by rate cuts from the BoC. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, the changes in the Overnight rate does over time have an impact on the bond market and as such we do see a reduction on fixed rates due to that fact.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What is our recommendation to our clients and to our community?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this ever-evolving market, uncertainty can lead us to bury our heads into the sand and hide. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is exactly what you should NOT be doing. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you feel that you need help with mortgage payments or that your job is at risk, now is the time to reach out to your broker and ask for guidance. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In many cases, you will be allowed by the lending institution to get a payment holiday of 1 or two months depending on whether or not you have a CMHC backed mortgage. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You should not go at this alone. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Our job as mortgage professionals is to help you navigate through this time of crisis.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Is this a good opportunity for me to renegotiate my

purposes, now is the time to act. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Rates are low and it is definitely something you can take advantage of. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align:
