The rate you see isn't always the rate you get

Posted rates and "best available" rates are a starting point — your actual rate depends on your down payment, credit profile, property type, amortization, and which lender best fits your situation.

Insured vs. Conventional

With less than 20% down, mortgage insurance (CMHC/Sagen) is required — but insured rates are often lower than conventional, because the lender carries less risk. I'll show you the full picture.

Fixed vs. Variable

Fixed gives you certainty. Variable can save you money if rates move your way. The right choice depends on your cash flow, risk tolerance, and how long you plan to stay. We'll model both.

Term vs. Amortization

Your term (1–5 years) is how long your rate is locked in. Your amortization (15–30 years) is how long you take to pay off the mortgage. They're different — and both matter.

Prepayment privileges

Most lenders allow you to pay down 10–20% extra per year without penalty. Using these strategically can shave years off your mortgage and save tens of thousands in interest.
