Frequently asked

Is a 5-year fixed still the best renewal choice in Canada?

It depends on where rates are in the cycle. In a falling-rate environment, a 3-year fixed often wins over five years because it lets you re-shop mid-cycle at lower rates. In a stable or rising environment, the 5-year fixed's payment certainty usually justifies the small premium.

How much can I save switching my 5-year fixed at renewal?

A 0.40% better 5-year fixed rate on a $500,000 mortgage saves roughly $8,400 in interest over the term, plus $85–$100/month in payment. Switching costs typically total $300–$1,500 for appraisal, discharge, and legal work.

What's the difference between insured and uninsured 5-year fixed rates?

Insured (under 20% down originally) 5-year fixed rates are usually 0.15%–0.30% lower than uninsured, because CMHC/Sagen/Canada Guaranty carry the default risk. At renewal, if your original mortgage was insured, you keep insured pricing for the amortization's life — a real advantage.
