Do you know what was interest rate in 1980's ?

Recently I received  newsletter from one of mortgage broker. It was interesting. He listed mortgage history of last 61 years. 

Here I created this list of posted mortgage rate for last 22 years. I also calculated the average of 22 years and it is 7.4 %.

Just imagine about the people who bought their home in 80's. Thanks to recessionary period we are going through, we are enjoying rock bottom mortgage rates.
On top of that among all developed countries in the world, Canada's economy is in better shape. 

I am not here to advertise lower mortgage rates, but if you have sufficient down payment and based on your income if you think you can carry a mortgage, this is the best time to buy your home.

If you have any question or thinking to check if you can have a mortgage give me a call.
