Shop Around for the Best Rates
One of the most effective ways to save money on your mortgage is to compare rates from different lenders. Even a small rate difference can add up to thousands over the life of your loan.
We can help you compare offers and make sure you're not leaving money on the table.
Make Extra Payments
Making extra payments — even small ones — chips away at your principal. That means less interest over time.
Consider putting windfalls like tax refunds or bonuses toward your mortgage. Our calculators can show you exactly how much you'd save.
Refinance Your Mortgage
Refinancing can lower your rate and your monthly payments. With interest rates currently favourable, refinancing might save you money.
We can help you figure out if refinancing makes sense and walk you through the process.
Choose a Shorter Term
Longer terms mean lower monthly payments, but shorter terms — like 15 or 20 years — usually come with lower interest rates. That can save you a bundle over the life of the loan.
We can help you explore whether a shorter term fits your budget and long-term goals.
Take Advantage of Prepayment Privileges
Many Canadian mortgages let you pay down your mortgage faster without penalty. These prepayment privileges can include increasing your regular payment or making lump-sum payments.
We'll help you understand your mortgage's prepayment options so you can maximize your savings.
Keep an Eye on Renewal Time
Don't just accept your lender's renewal offer. Use this opportunity to renegotiate your terms.
We can help you review your renewal offer and negotiate better terms that fit your current financial situation.
Consider a Variable Rate Mortgage
While fixed-rate mortgages offer stability, variable-rate mortgages can sometimes offer lower rates and more flexibility. If you're comfortable with the potential for rate changes, this could be a way to save.
We can provide a detailed comparison to help you decide if a variable rate is right for you.
