TORONTO – Bank of Montreal is lowering one of its mortgage rates by about 6.7 per cent, effective immediately.
The change affects a five-year fix-term mortgage, which will have a posted rate of 2.79 per cent, down from 2.99 per cent.
Five-year mortgages are one of the most common ways for consumers to finance the purchase of a new home, and competition among lenders often heats up during the spring when buyers and sellers tend to be more active.
