For borrowers, the decision keeps variable mortgage rates steady but comes against a backdrop of rising headline inflation and higher fixed mortgage costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why the Bank Stayed on the Sidelines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>March\u2019s inflation report showed Canada\u2019s annual CPI rising to 2.4%, up from 1.8% in February, largely because gasoline prices spiked after the Iran conflict disrupted oil supplies and pushed global crude benchmarks higher. While that moved headline inflation back above the Bank\u2019s 2% target, most of the increase has been concentrated in the energy component rather than across the basket as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Bank of Canada has remained firmly on the sidelines in its latest rate announcement,\u201d explains Penelope Graham, mortgage expert at <a href=\"http:\/\/ratehub.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ratehub.ca<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cThe March inflation report, the first full month to show how the war in Iran is impacting gas prices, has given the central bank some temporary breathing room. While the headline number rose to 2.4%, back above the Bank\u2019s 2% target, the increase was largely concentrated in the energy category, and early indications suggest core measures of inflation continue to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BoC Governor, Tiff Macklem, has indicated the Bank will look through temporary, supply\u2011driven energy shocks as long as they do not become embedded in expectations or broader price\u2011setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, recent readings on GDP and employment have been soft, suggesting the Canadian economy is operating with growing slack. In a world without the Iran\u2011related energy shock, that backdrop would normally support further rate cuts rather than a prolonged hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/crea-march-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Mortgage Rates Threw the Spring 2026 Market a Curveball. Here\u2019s What Happened in March: CREA<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fixed vs. Variable: What Borrowers Face Now<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without further rate hikes, fixed mortgage rates have already risen this spring as bond yields have climbed. The best nationally advertised 5\u2011year insured fixed mortgage rates have increased by roughly 25 to 40 basis points since mid\u2011March, moving from around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratehub.ca\/5-year-fixed-mortgage-rate-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3.79%<\/a> at the start of the month to roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratehub.ca\/best-mortgage-rates\/5-year\/fixed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4.04% today<\/a>. Graham notes that this reflects elevated Government of Canada 5\u2011year bond yields, which have been hovering near the 3% mark and putting sustained pricing pressure on lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Variable mortgage rates, which move with lenders\u2019 prime rates and track the Bank of Canada\u2019s policy rate, remain lower than comparable fixed terms. Ratehub.ca\u2019s tables show the lowest nationally available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratehub.ca\/best-mortgage-rates\/5-year\/variable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5\u2011year variable rate at around 3.35%<\/a>, compared with roughly 3.9\u20134.1% for the most competitive 5\u2011year fixed rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVariable mortgage rates continue to offer the best available value, with the lowest five\u2011year term currently around 3.35%,\u201d Graham says. \u201cFor risk\u2011tolerant borrowers, this can provide meaningful savings \u2013 but anyone considering a floating rate should heed the possibility that rates could rise again before the year is through, and either have the budgetary room to absorb such increases, or a plan to break or convert their mortgage term if needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than trying to time the market, Graham recommends strategy over prediction. For anyone shopping for a mortgage or coming up for renewal, she recommends locking in a pre\u2011approval and rate hold as soon as possible, which can provide up to 120 days of protection against market volatility with many lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5-year-fixed-rate-mortgage-history-1-1-750x563.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5-year-fixed-rate-mortgage-history-1-1-750x563.png 750w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5-year-fixed-rate-mortgage-history-1-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5-year-fixed-rate-mortgage-history-1-1-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/5-year-fixed-rate-mortgage-history-1-1.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Stark Reminder from Parliament Hill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While rate movements dominate the headlines, a pointed reminder of Canada\u2019s deeper affordability challenge came recently from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/D8uGz2urGAk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance<\/a>. Mortgage broker Ron Butler, one of the industry witnesses called before the committee, did not mince words about how far homeownership has drifted out of reach for ordinary Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler told MPs that even a household earning in the $110,000 to $115,000 range can struggle to realistically accumulate a down payment on a typical Toronto home, or qualify under today\u2019s stress\u2011test rules. Prices in the GTA remain just under $1 million even after sizable declines from their peak, he noted, and first\u2011time buyers in Ontario and British Columbia are now largely absent from his practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe biggest change of the 30 years I\u2019ve been in the mortgage business is that much more normal salaried people could buy houses 30 years ago,\u201d Butler said. \u201cIt was quite normal for the produce manager at a grocery store and a part\u2011time nurse to buy a home and comfortably manage it. Those days are gone.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/canadian-middle-class-housing-affordability-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>How Far a $55,000 &#8211; $85,000 Salary Goes in Today\u2019s Housing Market\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>His testimony is a reminder that rate decisions, while consequential, cannot close a gap that has been decades in the making. Even with borrowing costs well below their 2023 peaks, the income\u2011to\u2011price disconnect in Canada\u2019s major urban centres remains historically wide, leaving many would\u2011be buyers on the sidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Finding Opportunity in a Tougher Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, Graham emphasizes that today\u2019s hold, paired with clearer communication from the Bank, does give active buyers and renewing homeowners something they haven\u2019t had in years: a more stable starting point for planning. With policy rates on pause, borrowers can focus less on guessing the next headline move and more on finding the right product, term length, and lender fit for their situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor anyone who is prepared, today\u2019s environment can still offer opportunities,\u201d she says. \u201cIf you understand your budget, lock in a rate hold, and stay flexible on what and where you buy, you can use this period of slower sales and cautious sentiment to your advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering a move in 2026?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/\">\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Browse thousands of listings on Zoocasa<\/a>\u00a0and explore what\u2019s possible in today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bank of Canada held its overnight lending rate at 2.25% in its third announcement of 2026, extending its pause as policymakers weigh soft domestic data against renewed price pressures from the war in Iran.
