The BoC Held Rates — But Read the Fine Print

Contact Marko Gelo, he's a Mortgage Broker!604-800-9593 cell/text Vancouver403-606-3751 cell/text CalgaryCall Marko via WhatsApphomefinancingsolutions.caThe Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% this week for the fifth straight time, with Governor Macklem openly admitting that war, tariffs, and oil make 2026 anyone's guess. What most people missed is the fine print: the Bank described future hikes as "consecutive increases" while easing got a single "cut" — and central bankers choose those words deliberately. In the full episode, I break down why the bond market is pricing a hike by December, and why fixed-leaning terms now model out cheapest even if hikes don't arrive until 2028. If you're renewing or buying in the next year, this episode is definitely worth your time.CLICK HERE to be redirected to the blog version of this episode.CLICK HERE to be redirected to Mortgagenomics Canada Podcast YouTube ChannelCLICK HERE to download Marko's award-winning Mobile Mortgage App!

Income Gross-Up for Mortgage Qualification in Canada

Contact Marko Gelo, he's a Mortgage Broker!604-800-9593 cell/text Vancouver403-606-3751 cell/text CalgaryCall Marko via WhatsApphomefinancingsolutions.caMost borrowers don't realize that certain types of non-taxable income — like disability payments, workers' compensation, or self-employed write-offs — can be increased by up to 35% when calculating what you qualify for on a mortgage. This one adjustment can add $50,000 or more in borrowing power to a file, yet it gets overlooked all the time. In my latest blog, I break down exactly which income sources qualify for a gross-up, how the math works, and what the real-world dollar impact looks like. If you or someone you know is self-employed or receiving non-taxable income, this episode is worth a listen.CLICK HERE to be redirected to the blog version of this episode.CLICK HERE to be redirected to Mortgagenomics Canada Podcast YouTube ChannelCLICK HERE to download Marko's award-winning Mobile Mortgage App!
