Have you ever noticed that just like gas prices, interest rates seem to go up and down for no reason at all?

How come it feels like right before you are ready to buy a property, rumours of interest rate changes will start to flood the media?

There aren't too many Canadians who are able to save up enough money to pay cash for their home. This is why we have mortgages. A mortgage is a loan made to assist a borrower to purchase a property. The property is held as collateral and interest is charged on the loan. Typically a mortgage will be paid back over 25 years (this is called the amortization), and the amount of interest charged is renegotiated every 1-10 years (this is called the term). Over the long run, borrowing money isn't cheap, despite interest rates being at an all time low!
