Fixed Rates

Fixed rates offer stability and predictability. When you opt for this type of mortgage, your interest rate remains the same for the entire duration of your loan term. This means that when there are fluctuations in the market, your monthly payments will not change. Fixed rates are perfect for those wanting to maintain complete control of their expenses and want long-term stability.

Variable Rates

Variable and adjustable rates provide flexibility and potential savings. They fluctuate based on changes in the market and the benchmark interest rate set by the Bank of Canada. This means that your monthly interest payments may start low and rise or drop throughout the term of your loan, with the possibility of taking advantage of more savings.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Have questions about mortgage rates in the Ottawa area? We have answers!

What are mortgage rates, and how do they affect my monthly payments?

Mortgage rates are the interest rates (expressed as a percentage) lenders charge on home loans. They represent the cost of borrowing money. When you secure a mortgage, the lender applies an interest rate to your borrowed principal amount. If you have a fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly payments will remain constant over the loan term. On the other hand, your monthly payments will vary depending on the market if you have an adjustable or variable rate mortgage.

How are mortgage rates determined, and what factors can influence them?

Various factors influence current mortgage rates, including changes in bond yields and prime rates. Lenders consider several key elements when setting their rates, including the economic climate and central bank decisions. Other factors affecting the mortgage rate include your personal financial situation, credit scores, mortgage type and term, and even the property’s location.

What’s the difference between high-ratio and conventional rates?

Conventional rates involve putting at least 20% down on your property purchase, which means borrowing less than 80% of the home’s value. On the other hand, a high-ratio mortgage allows you to purchase a property with a down payment of as little as 5% and borrow more than 80% of the value of your home. Since high-ratio mortgages involve borrowing more money, you’ll require mortgage loan insurance through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Sagen, or Canada Guaranty. This insurance protects the lender in case of default. Because they are insured, high-ratio mortgages often offer lower rates than conventional ones.

Should I choose a fixed-rate or variable-rate mortgage?

Choosing between a fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgage depends on your risk tolerance, goals, and preferences. If you like the sounds of stability and consistent monthly payments, fixed-rate mortgages can provide peace of mind and easier budgeting. On the other hand, variable-rate mortgages may start with a lower rate and offer potential savings if interest rates decrease. Keep in mind that there is greater risk with variable-rate mortgages — if interest rates increase, so will your monthly payments.
