Getting the best mortgage rate in Vancouver.
The posted rate you see advertised isn’t the rate you get. In Vancouver, your number is set by your credit score, your down payment / loan-to-value, whether the mortgage is insured, and the property type — and by which lender’s broker-channel pricing fits your file. Highest-priced market in Canada. Multi-cultural service mandatory.
What’s specific to British Columbia: BC has unusually strong credit-union competition — Vancity and Coast Capital frequently undercut Big-6 rates and qualify at contract rate (not stress-test), making them a routine first-look for renewal and refi files in Greater Vancouver. On top of the rate, budget for bc property transfer tax (ptt) — 1% on the first $200K of purchase price, 2% on the portion to $2M, 3% on the portion to $3M, and 5% above $3M. First-time buyers can be fully exempt from PTT on homes up to $500K with partial relief up to $835K. The Newly Built Home Exemption can fully exempt purchases up to $750K when buying new construction.
