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 is trying to recover — but affordability remains a challenge.

In August 2026, Ontario's housing market continued to slow, with average home sales down 6% compared to this time last year. Almost all centres saw price declines, with Ottawa (-19.3%) and London (-14.6%) leading the drop; Kingston saw no price change.

Ontario's average home price dropped 1.7% year over year to $788,835. Half of the centres reported increases, ranging from +3.6% in Sudbury to +0.1% in Windsor. London saw the highest decrease in home prices at -9.2%, followed by Barrie, Hamilton, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and Kitchener.

New listings were also down in most Ontario centres compared to August last year. St. Catharines saw the steepest decline (-17.5%), with Hamilton (-15.2%) and the GTA (-14.1%) also seeing listings drop substantially. Sudbury saw a rise of +16.4, followed by Kingston and London.

Overall, the province remains a buyer's market, with the SNLR (sales-to-new-listings ratio) at 44%.

Ontario continues to face a U.S. tariff storm, as household budgets are further eroded by higher oil and gas prices seeping into everyday prices across the province. Despite earlier signs of a housing recovery, conditions are conspiring to keep markets sluggish as year-end approaches.
