Is this rate hike going to change my payments?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>That depends on your mortgage. Existing fixed rate mortgages will not be impacted. Some variable mortgages have set payments, and some do not, meaning some may increase &#8211; though not all do &#8211; depending on the details of your contract.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 75%;\">2. Should I consider refinancing?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This depends on many factors, from the penalty for breaking your current mortgage, and the rate you&#8217;re currently paying, to your plans to move in the next five years.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 75%;\">3. Are rates expected to continue rising?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, the BOC is expected to raise hikes again in the coming months to combat inflation.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 75%;\">4. Should I put my home-buying plans on hold for now?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are many reasons to maintain any current plans you have for home-ownership. Interest rates are just one piece of the puzzle. Having a detailed discussion about your financial situation with one of our brokers is a great way to determine next steps.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 75%;\">5. I&#8217;m nervous about future rate hikes, what should I do?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Contact one of our mortgage brokers to discuss your individual needs. No one is in a better position to guide you on rates and financing decisions.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-374716618 {\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<a
