The posted rate is an administered benchmark — it prices penalties and stress tests, not mortgages. Real 5-yr fixed money is ~2.0 points cheaper.
victoria lens · The typical detached purchase here — $1M+ with 20% down — prices in the 20% or more down(uninsured) column, and $1M+ files can’t be bulk-insured, so a real quote can land a touch above it. A sub-$1M condo with 20% down can price a touch below it.
