Ontario Mortgage Rates

In Ontario, your best mortgage rates can save you a lot of cash.

At True North Mortgage, our lower mortgage rates save our clients over $3,000 on average — sometimes up to $15,000 or more, depending on your details.

Our salaried, highly trained True North Mortgage brokers do huge volume, and we pass along a rate discount to lower your rate, sometimes with your own bank. Our rates are proven to be 0.18% lower on average compared to the big banks and other competitors, and have been for years.

It makes sense to ask what we can do for your rate.

Whether you're a first-time home buyer, interested in a vacation or investment property, or looking to refinance or renew — we have exceptional brokers who service your area and can access the lenders and products you need for your best rate and mortgage to save thousands.

Are your mortgage needs more complex? If you don't quite fit the big-bank mold, we also have the flexibility to offer you short-term mortgage solutions that save you time and stress.

Along with the federal stress test, your rate will depend on your down payment percentage compared to the overall mortgage size, your credit score and even your purchase timeline. We can help answer all your questions and outline the details so you can make clearer decisions.

Ontario's housing market subdued — affordability still a challenge.

In March 2026, Ontario's housing market posted a slight 0.4% year-over-year increase in home sales, but remained about 37% below the 10-year monthly average. The centres of Kitchener-Waterloo led the increase, followed by London, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and Windsor. Kingston, Sudbury and St. Catharines led the provincial sales slowdown, with changes ranging from -13.2% to -2.9% compared to March 2025. 

The average ON home price also dropped 4.5% year over year to $791,038, with most centres recording declines, except for Ottawa. Kingston experienced the largest decline, followed by Barrie, Sudbury and the GTA.

Along with the cooler markets, the province's inventory gauge stands at 4.6 months' supply, well above the 10-year average of 2.3 months. However, new listings were down in most Ontario centres compared to last year, with only Ottawa and Kingston showing increases.

The province overall still ranks as a buyer's market, with the SNLR (sales-to-listings ratio) at 37%; Barrie, the GTA, Kingston, and St. Catharines have the lowest ratios. A good portion of the centres still show a balanced market, and Sudbury reclaimed its seller's market territory.

Ontario continues to weather the U.S. tariff storm, with household financial uncertainty and now higher oil prices seeping into market conditions across the province.
