Leah Zlatkin quoted in Financial Post: ‘Why now could be a great time to enter the housing market’

“Variable rates do have a great spread right now,” Zlatkin said. “There’s an opportunity for you to ride that curve down while making a large purchase.”

Zlatkin doesn’t recommend variable-rate mortgages for first-time homebuyers who cannot tolerate a lot of risk, but it might be an option for experienced investors.
