At 6.19% — five years ago — the same mortgage would have cost $314 more each month than at today's posted rate.
Principal & interest only: $303,200 (80% of the $379,000 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. The 5- and 10-year rows are two documented observations of that same series (2021-11-03 = 4.79%, 2016-11-02 = 4.64%, retrieved 2026-11-01 from bankofcanada.ca/valet) — fixed reference points, not a modelled path between them. Estimate — not an offer of credit; your lender's rate will differ.
