Choosing a home is exciting. Finding the neighborhood, floorplan, and features that suit your needs and wishlist is a fun and rewarding process. But selecting a mortgage? Not so much. From sifting through technical jargon to choosing a broker, the mortgage-selection process can be as frustrating as it is confusing.

Fortunately, financial experts and economists exist and can provide guidance to those of us who aren’t well-versed in the complex world of mortgages and finance. (And occasionally, they even agree with one another.)

Now is one of those occasions. Writing for the Globe and Mail, Robert McLister reports that while most things in the economy remain uncertain, experts agree that in the near future, “rates remain on the upswing.”

That means that if you’re considering purchasing a home, you might be wise to make your move sooner rather than later. 

Given the current and expected state of the Canadian economy, McLister recommends locking in a five-year fixed-rate mortgage. Here’s why: “You can still snatch a five-year fixed mortgage near 3 percent. That’s right around the 10-year average and way below the long-term average. With more hikes on the radar, a five-year fixed that’s anywhere in the low threes is a gift.”

Writers for the website MoneyWise echo McLister’s advice, noting that “If you are shopping for a mortgage right now your best bet would be to lock into the best fixed rates while they’re still at such record lows. By securing a low rate today you could save yourselves thousands of dollars during the life of your mortgage.”
