Can you afford this home?
Four quick questions and we'll run the federal stress test against this specific listing. You'll see if you qualify, your monthly payment, and a personal action plan — no credit pull, no obligation.
If rates move, what wins?
Variable starts $287/mo cheaper than fixed today. But variable rates move with the Bank of Canada — if they rise, your payment rises with them. This chart shows your monthly payment if BoC moves rates up or down during your term. The crossover at +0.75% is where variable becomes more expensive than today's locked fixed.
The Bank of Canada holds rates flat, cuts, or hikes less than +0.8% during your 5-year term. You'd save roughly $287/mo for as long as that holds.
BoC raises rates more than +0.8% and keeps them there. You'd be locked in below the variable rate the rest of the term.
