This change translates to a prime reference rate of 4.45% for financial institutions, resulting in variable mortgage rates now being under 4%. Fixed rates remain stable, currently in the high threes to low fours. Please keep this information in mind as you consider your mortgage options moving forward.</description></oembed>
