Sources, conditions and how to use this snapshot

The median gives each lender one observation: its lowest advertised APR in that category. It is not a funded-loan average, a whole-market survey or a personalized quote. Products can differ in LTV, credit, amortization, fees and restrictions. Categories can overlap, especially on renewal. APR uses a lender-supplied figure when available; otherwise it assumes the advertised interest rate. Default-insurance premiums and switching costs still need comparing.

Snapshot assembled . Each offer keeps its own source-check date and expiry. Assembly does not renew lender evidence.

How your rates stay current

Supported public lender sources are checked once daily at 6 a.m. Vancouver time. Each offer shows when its source was checked. Your matches refresh while this page is open.

Expired promotions and rates without recent verification are removed automatically. A lender’s rate hold is separate from a promotion deadline. Promotional badges identify special rates; broker cashback estimates appear separately.

Choose your property, down payment, province and amortization to see matching products, then compare up to three for payment, interest and balance. Confirm fees, prepayment privileges, penalties and any funding deadline with your broker.

A little guidance goes a long way.

We’ll help you weigh the rate, flexibility and costs. Brokerage services are available for BC properties.

Clear answers

Before you decide

Are the rates live?

Supported public sources are checked once daily. Each offer shows its source check and freshness deadline; lenders can change pricing between checks. Final approval depends on the property, documentation, occupancy, insurance status, and lender policy at application.

What affects the rate I see?

Transaction type, down payment or equity, occupancy, amortization, term length, rate type, insurance status, and sometimes credit or documentation quality can all change pricing.

Is the lowest rate always the best mortgage?

Not always. Penalties, prepayment privileges, portability, turnaround speed, and lender fit can matter just as much as the headline rate.

Can I lock a rate before I choose a lender?

Usually you need an application and a lender selection to secure a formal rate hold. The public explorer helps you narrow the field before you start that step.

Should I compare renewal and refinance rates the same way?

No. Renewal shopping focuses on term fit, features, and switching options. Refinancing adds penalties, legal fees, equity strategy, and a breakeven calculation.
