If you are sitting on the sidelines watching these amazing fixed rates fade in and out you should probably know that they are going to be fading out again. Five year Canadian Bond Yields are up to 1.6% as of today and this will make it difficult for the major lenders to keep their rates at their current levels.
If you are looking to get into a low fixed rate mortgage for the next 5 or 10 years now would be a good time to act. By Friday of this week it will be unlikely that any lenders will be as low as 2.99% on a 5 year fixed or 3.99% on a 10 year fixed rate mortgage.
