At the time of the survey, 60% also indicated that they plan to buy a home in the near future. Experts are predicting that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/trreb-nov-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demand for housing will peak<\/a> again soon as our population grows and newcomers to Canada look to buy housing, especially in densely populated areas including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/toronto-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Toronto<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/mississauga-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greater Toronto Area (GTA)<\/a>. But when?\u00a0 This year overall has seen a decline of 23.2% in total real estate sales to date compared to 2021. With inflation still high and Canadians feeling the pinch, many are expecting a continued slowdown in the economy moving into 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to James Laird, Co-CEO of Ratehub.ca and President of CanWise mortgage lender, anyone shopping for a new mortgage will have three main options to choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>5-year fixed rate:<\/strong> This is the right choice for anyone who thinks inflation will be persistent or anyone with tight household finances that cannot afford higher rates.<br><\/li><li><strong>\u00a05-year variable rate: <\/strong>This is the right choice for anyone who anticipates that the Bank of Canada is near the end of its rate hikes, and that it may even lower rates towards the end of 2023 and into 2024, as a result of a recession.<br><\/li><li><strong>Short-term fixed rate: <\/strong>This is a similar strategy to taking a variable rate because it creates a quicker renewal, which will be beneficial to the borrower if rates decrease in the short term.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Related Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/secure-good-credit-score\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>How to Secure a Good Credit Score for Your Mortgage Application<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Impact on Homeowners with Existing Variable Rate Mortgages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe upcoming rate hike will mean even more Canadians will reach their trigger rate and trigger point. This only applies to those with a variable-rate mortgage with fixed payments. Borrowers with this type of mortgage have not been forced to increase their payments to the full extent of the rate hikes this year. Anyone with a variable-rate mortgage that has a variable payment has been forced to absorb the full impact of this year\u2019s rate hikes,\u201d explains Laird.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Related Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/increasing-your-mortgage-payments-in-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Decrease Your Interest Payments and Pay Your Mortgage Faster<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A homeowner that made a 10% down payment on a $644,000 home (the October 2022 average home price in Canada was $644,643) that secured a 5-year variable rate of 4.75% over 25 years has a monthly payment of $3,391. With the 50-basis point increase, their variable mortgage rate will increase to 5.25%, along with their monthly payment, now $3,561. The homeowner will now pay $170 more per month or an extra $2,040 per year in mortgage payments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_BoC_Monthly_Payments-750x472.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_BoC_Monthly_Payments-750x472.png 750w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_BoC_Monthly_Payments-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_BoC_Monthly_Payments-768x483.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_BoC_Monthly_Payments-1536x967.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_BoC_Monthly_Payments-2048x1289.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_BoC_Monthly_Payments.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Total Impact of Rate Hikes in 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Homeowners that secured a variable rate mortgage prior to the rate hikes have felt the impact all year. Laird explains: \u201cIn January of 2022, a homeowner who put a 10% down payment on a $748,450 home with a 5-year variable rate of 0.90%, amortized over 25 years would have a monthly mortgage payment of $2,585. December of 2022, if the Bank of Canada announces a 50-basis point rate increase (a total increase of 400 basis points since January), the homeowner\u2019s variable mortgage rate will increase to 4.90% and their monthly payment will increase to $4,000.\u201d. Overall, this means that the total impact to date for the homeowner is an additional $1,415 more per month or a 55% increase of $16,980 per year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Related Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/the-effect-of-skipping-a-mortgage-payment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Effect of Skipping a Mortgage Payment<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact is reflected in sales levels and real estate prices across the country as well. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, residential sales activity across Canada in October was down 36% year-over-year. Average home prices have felt the same downward pressure. The average home price in Ontario has declined by 18.26%. Toronto and every city in the Greater Toronto area have experienced price declines of anywhere from 9% to 31% since February, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/impact-of-rates-on-home-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read more about that here<\/a>. However, these price declines are still not enough as Canadians from coast-to-coast have been priced out of the market due to rising interest rates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_Sales_vs_Rising_Rates_Dec2022-750x559.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_Sales_vs_Rising_Rates_Dec2022-750x559.png 750w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_Sales_vs_Rising_Rates_Dec2022-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_Sales_vs_Rising_Rates_Dec2022-768x573.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_Sales_vs_Rising_Rates_Dec2022-1536x1145.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Zoocasa_Sales_vs_Rising_Rates_Dec2022.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Zoocasa_Prices_Accross_Can_Infographic.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Zoocasa_Prices_Accross_Can_Infographic.png 600w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Zoocasa_Prices_Accross_Can_Infographic-166x300.png 166w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Zoocasa_Prices_Accross_Can_Infographic-566x1024.png 566w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Zoocasa_Prices_Accross_Can_Infographic-768x1391.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Zoocasa_Prices_Accross_Can_Infographic-848x1536.png 848w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to discuss your home buying plans and how the final interest rate announcement of 2022 may affect you? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/buy-with-zoocasa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Give us a call<\/a> today to speak to a real estate agent in your area.
