Canada's major banks reduce mortgage rates again


Interest rates have been reduced again by 1/10th of a percentage point by each of Canada's big five banks. The new lower interest rates took effect yesterday.


The posted five-year closed mortgage rate is now 5.49 per cent annually with Royal Bank of Canada leading the way and followed by Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank, CIBC and TD Bank.

This is the second time major banks have lowered their rates this month, and follows the report from the Canadian Real Estate Association that home sales were down 6.8 per cent in July from the previous month.
