Interest Rates Will Rise 1.5% By Next Year - Squamish Real Estate

Interest Rates Will Rise 1.5% By Next Year



The big banks have ended the historicly low interest rates home owners have been enjoying for the past year. The five year fixed term rate climbed by .6% which means the average Squamsih home owner will now pay $100 more for the same property. This is part of a cycle of interest rate hikes that will put interest rate up by 1.5% by this time next year. This will mean an extra $300 cost to borrow funds required for the typical property in Squamish.
Its time to start thinking about how interest rates are going to effect your purchasing power.
