Is this what you've been told?

You may have been saving for years, waiting for the day you finally accumulate enough money to put down 20% on your dream home.

But here's the truth: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟮𝟬% 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻. 👀

Let's clear up the confusion!

# # # 💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄

In Canada, eligible homebuyers can generally purchase qualifying homes with a down payment as low as 𝟱%, depending on the property's price and applicable mortgage rules.

However, a down payment below 20% will generally require mortgage default insurance for eligible purchases. This insurance protects the lender—not the borrower—and its cost must be factored into your budget.

A larger down payment can have advantages, too, including potentially lower borrowing costs.

# # # 🔑 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝟯 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:

✅ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Can you comfortably manage the mortgage payments, property taxes, utilities, insurance, and other homeownership costs?

✅ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Lenders assess factors such as income, debts, credit history, and the property you're buying.

🏡 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞. 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗡 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦?

Have you ever heard someone say, “I refinanced my mortgage to access money from my home”?

You might be wondering what that actually means.

Let's break it down! 👇

# # # 💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Mortgage refinancing is when you replace your existing mortgage with a new one, often to change the mortgage terms, access some of your home's equity, or achieve a different financial goal.

Here's an example:

Imagine you bought a home in Canada a few years ago. Since then, you've paid down part of your mortgage, and your property may have increased in value.

Now, you need money for a major renovation, want to consolidate certain debts, or have another financial goal.

𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽?

Depending on your home's value, outstanding mortgage balance, income, credit profile, and lender requirements, refinancing may allow you to borrow against some of the equity in your home.

# # # 🔑 𝟯 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴

**1️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻**

You may be able to combine eligible higher-interest debts into your mortgage. However, this can increase the repayment period and the total interest you pay.

**2️⃣ 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀**

You may be able to access funds for improvements without relying entirely on savings or other borrowing options.

**3️⃣ 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀**

You may want to review your interest rate, payment structure, or mortgage features to see whether another arrangement better suits your needs.

# # # ⚠️ 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄.

Refinancing isn't free money. You're borrowing against your home, and the new mortgage may increase your debt.

You should also consider legal and appraisal fees, possible mortgage penalties, the new interest rate, and the long-term cost before making a decision.

𝗙𝗜𝗫𝗘𝗗 𝗢𝗥 𝗩𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗚𝗔𝗚𝗘? 🏡💰 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗘?

Imagine you're getting a mortgage in Canada, and your lender gives you two options:

🔒 **𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱-𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲:** Your interest rate stays the same for the agreed term.

📉 **𝗩𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲-𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲:** Your interest rate can change during the term, depending on the lender's pricing and the terms of your mortgage.

So, which one is better?

The truth is, **𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲-𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀-𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿.** The right choice depends on your financial situation, comfort with uncertainty, and future plans.

Here are 3 things to consider before choosing:

**𝟭️⃣ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀**

A fixed rate offers more certainty about your interest rate during the term. With a variable rate, changes in interest rates can affect your payments or the amount of principal you pay, depending on your mortgage structure.

**𝟮️⃣ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆**

If your budget is tight, knowing your scheduled payment in advance may be important. If you have room in your budget to handle potential changes, a variable mortgage may be worth exploring.

**𝟯️⃣ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲**

Are you planning to sell your home, refinance, or break your mortgage before the term ends? Compare the mortgage terms carefully, including prepayment privileges and potential penalties. Breaking either type of mortgage early can come with costs.

**𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲? 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲.**

A lower starting rate doesn't automatically mean the lowest overall cost. Understanding the terms, risks, and your personal circumstances matters.

At **𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗯 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀**, we help borrowers compare mortgage options so they can make informed decisions with greater confidence.

Imagine finding your dream home, preparing to make an offer, and then hearing these words:

**“𝗨𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱.”**

It can be frustrating. You might even start wondering whether owning a home is still possible.

But here's something every homebuyer should understand: **𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗼.**

Different lenders have different lending criteria, and the reason for the decline matters.

Here are **𝟯 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱:**

**𝟭️⃣ 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱.**

Was it your credit history, income, debt levels, down payment, property appraisal, or the documents you provided? Understanding the reason helps determine your next move.

**𝟮️⃣ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.**

Before applying elsewhere, review your financial situation and understand what needs to change. Multiple credit applications may affect your credit profile, depending on how they are made and assessed.

**𝟯️⃣ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.**

A mortgage broker can review your circumstances and help you understand whether another lender may be suitable, what documentation may be needed, or whether adjustments to your application could improve your chances.

At **𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗯 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀**, we understand that every borrower's situation is different. Our goal is to help you understand your options and find a mortgage solution that fits your circumstances.

Buying your first home is exciting. You've been saving, searching for properties, and imagining the day you finally get your keys. 🔑

But before you start house hunting, there are 3 mistakes you should avoid.

1️⃣ 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱

Just because you have a good income doesn't automatically mean you'll qualify for the mortgage you want. Lenders also consider your debts, credit history, down payment, and other financial commitments.

2️⃣ 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁

Falling in love with a house you cannot comfortably afford can be disappointing. Understand your potential mortgage payments and other homeownership costs before committing to a property.

Imagine finding your dream home, only to discover that your financing isn't ready.

Starting the mortgage conversation early can help you understand your budget, prepare your documents, and identify potential challenges before you make an offer.

💡 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲: Get informed about your mortgage options before you begin seriously shopping for a home.

Not necessarily. And this is one reason a mortgage broker can be valuable.

Many people believe getting a mortgage means walking into their bank, submitting an application, and hoping for approval.

But what happens when the bank's offer doesn't meet your needs? What if you are self-employed? What if your income is complicated? What if you're looking to refinance, renew, or access the equity in your home?

This is where a mortgage broker can make a difference.

A mortgage broker helps you explore mortgage options from lenders they work with and find solutions that may fit your financial situation.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼:

✅ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 — Look beyond the interest rate and consider terms, fees, penalties, and other conditions.

✅ 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 — Know what documents you need and what to expect during your mortgage application.

Whether you're buying your first home, renewing your mortgage, refinancing, or looking for financing after a bank decline, understanding your options is an important first step.

At Superb Mortgages, we believe informed decisions lead to better mortgage conversations.

🏠 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞—or 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭?

If you’re buying, renewing, or refinancing in Ontario right now, you’ve probably heard a LOT about interest rates.

But here’s the thing 👇

📉 The Bank of Canada rate is only one piece of the puzzle.

Fixed mortgage rates can move even when the Bank of Canada doesn’t change its rate. Variable and adjustable mortgages can offer lower starting payments—but those payments can change.

And then there’s the housing market, your income, your credit, your down payment, your future plans… 😅

So what should you actually be looking at?

🔹 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧? Make sure you understand your rate-hold options.

🔹 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠? Don’t automatically accept your current lender’s offer. Compare.

🔹 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞? Know what your payment could look like if rates rise.

🔹 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝? Make sure your income documentation is lender-ready.

🔹 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠? Look beyond the rate and consider penalties, fees and your long-term plan.

🔹 𝐔𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠? Have a clear exit strategy before you sign.

💡 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞.

The better question is:

👉 “𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—and 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬?”

That’s where having a mortgage professional in your corner can make a difference.
