The Bank of Canada has held its policy rate at 2.25% for the seventh consecutive decision.

For Canadian homeowners and homebuyers, another hold means the policy rate remains unchanged for now. Whether a mortgage renewal, refinance, or home purchase is ahead, this is a good opportunity to review the numbers and understand the options available.

Message or give us a call to discuss what today’s Bank of Canada decision could mean for your mortgage plans.

Yes, it’s possible to buy a home in Canada with as little as 5% down, depending on the purchase price and your eligibility.

For homes priced at $500,000 or less, the minimum down payment is 5%. Above $500,000 (up to $1.5 million), the minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above that. Homes purchased with less than 20% down generally require mortgage default insurance.

A smaller down payment can make homeownership more accessible, but there’s more to consider than the minimum. We can help you understand down payment requirements, qualification and the mortgage options available to you.

Why work with a mortgage broker instead of going straight to a bank?

A bank can offer its own mortgage products. A mortgage broker can explore options from multiple lenders, helping homebuyers and homeowners compare rates, features, terms and lending solutions based on their individual needs.

That broader access can make a difference. Mortgage brokers can help clients:

• Compare mortgage options from multiple lenders
• Understand fixed, variable and adjustable rate choices
• Navigate lender requirements and qualification criteria
• Find solutions for unique income, credit or property situations
• Review the fine print beyond the interest rate
• Get guidance throughout the mortgage process

Whether buying a home, refinancing or approaching a renewal, having more options and professional guidance can help clients make a more informed mortgage decision.

Mortgage Broker vs. Bank: What’s the difference?

When you go directly to a bank, you’re limited to the mortgage products and options that bank offers.

When you work with us, we can look beyond one lender. We have access to multiple lenders and mortgage solutions, allowing us to compare options and help find the right fit for your needs, goals and financial situation.

We’re also here to guide you through the process, explain your options and help you make an informed decision with confidence.

Why limit yourself to one lender when we can help you explore more?

Let us do the mortgage shopping for you.

A lower mortgage rate can catch your eye, but we’ll help you look at what’s behind the number.

When your mortgage is up for renewal, it’s important to compare more than just rates. Prepayment privileges, portability, penalties, payment flexibility, and other mortgage features can all affect how well your mortgage works for you throughout the term.

Message us before you renew, and we can help you review your mortgage renewal options to find the right fit for your financial goals and future plans.

Buying a home with someone? Your finances work together, and we can help you understand what that means for your mortgage.

When you apply together, lenders consider both applicants’ income, debts, credit history, and overall financial picture. Combining incomes may increase your borrowing potential and open up different mortgage options, while existing financial obligations can also affect how much you qualify for.

Message us today to see what buying together could mean for your mortgage options and home buying budget.
