Would you please be so kind as to share the name of the institution with the rest of the forum?

Please note I am not doubting your word- I just wish to know the name of the institution.

Thanks,





His client must have locked the rates earlier through the broker even though the closing was done very recently.

I was also offering 4.94% for a 5 year term till 10 days ago and if some one had locked that rate then he could close the deal till mid may 2007.

This rate was being offered by a credit union and till today their rate is 5.04% for 5 year term and I have sent 3 deals to them yesterday for my clients which means the rate is locked for them till end of May, 2007.

Thx Pramod.

Actually I called up several contacts yesterday and there are indeed a couple of institutions still offering 4.9% . I have not done any mortgage deals for the last 2 months as I was heavily swamped with the RESP season in Dec and am currently swamped with RRSP, but I have in the last several days been contacted for mortgages and am picking up the threads.

But thx anyway.

So I had a meeting with my broker last evening, She is offering me prime - .95 for 6 months and then it would be 5.6%. Its variable with 3 year term reviewed quarterly ( as opposed to 8 times a year ).

I was pre-approved ( before the rate increase i.e in dec ) for 5.09 ( 5 year fixed ). I asked for other details and basically she is saying that i can pay up to 20%/month over my regular payment and 54K/per year on top of that 20%. I am thinking of opting for variable ?? wondering if this is a good deal ? anything I am missing and should be careful about ??

Thanks

Hi,

Since the question was posed of JRF first, perhaps we should let him/her have the honor of giving us the name of his/her lending institution.

Should JRF not give an answer in 48 hours, I will def PM you at least one name of a leanding (purposely misspelt to denote leading and lending) institution still offering 4.9%.

If you feel like having fun and wish to tax the brain a little over the weekend, here's a hint: Think of Stephane Dion's message: Green.

Not to offend you, but if I read you right, you've got a raw deal.
