Mortgage Rate Predictions in 2022, how many increases?
Marc Menard gives you a look at where he thinks mortgage rates will go in 2022 as well as how many increases he expects the BOC to make, all based on other factors such as inflation, economy and those type of things.
Inflation is at 4% right now which is an 18 year high. Economists and the banks predict that mortgage rates will increase when inflation drops to around 2%.
Our best guess as to how many times they raise the rate in 2022 would be two, with a 0.25% increase each time.
Bank Prime being 2.45%, will go up to around 2.7%, which would increase the variable rate by 0.25%.
