RBC reduces mortgage rates

Tuesday, January 27th, 2015

RBC cuts mortgage rate, price war coming?
It was always going to happen, but while last week the big lenders were reluctant to pass on the Bank of Canada’s interest rate cut to borrowers, this week there’s talk of a price war. Royal Bank of Canada is the first of the big banks to cut mortgage rates, dropping its five-year fixed rate deal to 2.84 per cent and also cutting its other fixed products. Flexible rates are unchanged though along with other lending from the bank. Of course, these rates are the bank’s published deals and brokers frequently secure better ones, but a ‘battle of the rates’ creating headlines can only help the perception that now is a great time to buy. How low those rates go is anybody’s guess, but there are already predictions of sub-two per cent mortgages.

The top factors that make your Credit Score lower

Wednesday, January 7th, 2015

At this time of year, especially if we were extra generous with our gift giving, it’s important to review the top factors that can lower our credit scores.  Please also see “Tips to Improve Your Credit Rating” on the left in this issue of the Mortgage Financing Journal.

  1. There are too many consumer finance company accounts on your credit report.  Having too much available credit can hurt your score. If you have several consumer accounts try to consolidate those balances and close the accounts.
  2. Your account balances are too high. As a rule of thumb keep your credit card balances below 35% of the available limit. High balances ongoing will negatively affect your credit score.
  3. There is not enough recent revolving account information on your credit report. Using your credit cards regularly is an important part of building healthy credit.
  4. There have been multiple lending institutions pulling credit reports on you.  This is part of the advantage of using a Mortgage Broker; we pull one credit report and then go to several lenders vs. having several lenders each pulling your credit bureau.
