Principal & interest only: $319,920 (80% of the $399,900 asking price — 20% down), 25-year amortization. No taxes, insurance, fees, or mortgage insurance. Today's rate is the Bank of Canada conventional 5-year rate observed 2026-11-04.

Estimate — not an offer of credit; your lender's rate will differ.
