It comes down to predictability versus flexibility:
– Fixed-Rate: Locks in your interest rate and monthly payment amount for your entire term. This offers
maximum budget stability because your payments will never change.
– Variable-Rate: Fluctuates alongside your lender’s prime rate. Depending on your specific contract, a
rate change will either adjust your monthly payment amount or change how much of your payment goes
toward your principal balance.
When your term expires, the balance of the loan is technically due. However, you don’t have to pay it all off at once. Instead, you will renew your mortgage for a new term. This is your opportunity to negotiate a new interest rate and timeline with your current lender, or switch to a new lender entirely if they offer a better deal.
Absolutely. Most lenders offer prepayment privileges that allow you to pay down your mortgage ahead of schedule without facing penalties. This is typically done by making lump-sum payments or increasing your regular monthly payment amount (often up to 15% or 20% of the original loan amount each year).
A high-ratio mortgage is any mortgage where your down payment is less than 20% of the home’s purchase price. Because the down payment is lower, these loans legally require mortgage default insurance (provided by organizations like the CMHC). This insurance protects the lender in case you default on the loan, and the premium is usually added directly to your total mortgage amount.
If you need to break a closed mortgage before your term is officially over, lenders will charge a breaking fee. The way it is calculated depends on your rate type:
– Fixed-Rate: Penalties are usually calculated using the Interest Rate Differential (IRD)—which is based
on current market rates and can be quite expensive if rates have dropped since you signed.
– Variable-Rate: Penalties are much more predictable, typically costing just three months of interest
