Key Mortgage Term! 🔑🏠 A Live File is when a mortgage application is ready for submission or already under review by a lender. For purchases, this requires an accepted offer. It is only at this stage that lenders will begin to review the file and be open to negotiate.

A basic mortgage concept is that you pay more interest in the beginning.
The graphs shown are for a mortgage of $500,000 with a rate of 5.25% amortized over 25 years. The first graph shows how much of the constant payment goes towards paying down your interest and how much goes towards your principal. As you can see in the beginning most of the payment goes towards interest.
The second chart shows the declining principal balance over time. In this example it takes 16 years and four months to pay off the first 50% and 8 years and 8 months to pay off the second 50%.

Note: for the sake of simplicity, this example assumes a fully amortized loan with the same rate for 25 years. This is highly unlikely because in Canada typically the longest term is 5 years, meaning you would need to get a new rate at minimum every 5 years but this is just to illustrate how the interest is paid first. If you are interested in a more custom analysis based on your situation, please let me know.

If you are thinking of getting a mortgage within the next few months it’s worth considering a rate hold. If rates go up your rate is locked in. If they go down, we can get a better rate. There is no downside.

If your mortgage renewal is coming up make sure to look for your renewal notice from your current lender. They should send it to you about four months prior to renewal. This notice isn’t just a formality—it’s your cue to spring into action. Before you re-sign on the dotted line, let’s make sure you’re not missing out on a chance to save. Consider this a friendly nudge to take control of your mortgage renewal process. Your future self will thank you. Ready to get the best deal for your home? Let’s talk. 🏠💬

What’s the minimum down payment required?
Here’s the quick breakdown:
🔑 For homes priced under $500k, the magic number is 5% of the purchase price.
🔑 Between $500k and $1M? It’s 5% on the first $500k, then 10% on the remainder.
🔑 Over $1M? You’re looking at a minimum of 20%. (Potentially more depending on location, lender, and value)

Remember, the size of your down payment affects not just your mortgage amount, but also whether you’ll need Default Insurance (CMHC insurance). The more you put down, the less your insurance premium could be, saving you money in the long run. 📉💰
