Is a 4-year fixed right for you in British Columbia?
Who it suits. Borrowers who want most of the certainty of a 5-year fixed but find a four-year offer priced attractively, or whose plans line up with a four-year horizon. It's worth checking precisely because few people ask for it, so lenders sometimes use it to win business.
What drives the rate. Priced between the 3- and 5-year bonds, the 4-year fixed is offered by fewer lenders, which means the handful who promote it can be unusually competitive on it. The right lender mix is everything for this term.
Breaking it early. Standard fixed-term math — greater of three months' interest or IRD — sitting between the 3- and 5-year in penalty size.
A low-volume term that rewards shopping the full lender panel. You give up the broad availability of the 5-year in exchange for an occasionally sharper, slightly shorter lock.
