Mortgage rates are still dropping…. NOT in leaps and bounds but every little bit helps!
The 5 yr fixed rate for an insured purchase(less than 20% down payment) is still at 1.60% 90 day closings only
1.64% for 120 days...
Yes I know HSBC may have something lower but they won't deal with me and I honestly have heard nothing but bad comments on customer service and turn around. I also do NOT know if they register their mortgages as collateral and or if their mortgages have any restrictive clauses. I do know their 5 yr variable is at .99%(insured purchase only), but as above I don't know much about their mortgage.
BUT with that even being said, I am not a believer in variable rates(even at that rate) for anyone who is payment conscious in their budget. Their is a lot of room to go up with variable rates, even if the 5 yr fixed rates stay lower.
Just food for thought and my belief. It is anyone's guess where and what happens to rates given our pandemic times. Who would ever have thought we would have the incredible price increase we have had during COVID.
Pre-approvals being done now at 5 yr fixed 1.89%
