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.

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.

How these estimates work

Monthly payments include principal and interest; no new borrower-paid default-insurance premium is included. HELOC estimates show interest only on the full amount drawn.

Fixed rates use semi-annual compounding; variable rates use monthly compounding. Estimates assume constant rates and no extra payments. Fees, penalties, property tax, home insurance and closing costs are excluded. Confirm the product’s contract and lender APR.

Results are from Pragmatic’s published catalog, sorted by nominal rate; they are not whole-market coverage or an approval. Catalog update dates are shown in each rate’s details.

Make a fair comparison

Understand the rate you’re looking at.

A refinance rate applies when you replace or materially change an existing mortgage, often to access equity, consolidate debt, change the amortization, or lower the payment. The winning option is the one whose savings or strategic benefit exceeds the penalty, appraisal, legal, discharge, and financing costs over a realistic holding period.

Refinancing can reduce payments or unlock equity, but penalties and fees matter. Compare rates alongside the breakeven timeline.

Use for
Equity access, debt restructuring, or a material mortgage reset
Calculate
Penalty, fees, new payment, and break-even month
Do not compare as
A purchase rate without transaction costs

Before you accept an offer

  • Rate shopper tuned for refinance scenarios.
  • Pair with the refinance analyzer to model costs.
  • Save your scenario to revisit with your broker.

Clear answers

Before you decide

Do refinance rates differ from purchase rates?

Yes. Refinances can price differently due to insurer rules and risk profiles.

How do I know if refinancing is worth it?

Use a breakeven calculator to compare penalty and fee costs against savings.
