BMO's Financial Tip of the Week: Review All of Your Mortgage Refinancing Options
Choosing the right mortgage to fit your specific needs and situation is a critical part of homeownership. There are many things to consider when your mortgage comes up for renewal and it is important to review all of your refinancing options to ensure you make a well-informed, financially responsible decision.
Things to consider when refinancing your mortgage:
According to a recent BMO survey, Canadian homebuyers want payment certainty for as long as possible. The majority (65 per cent) are looking to lock in at a fixed rate to take advantage of low interest rates while they are available.
"Spring is a good time to revisit financial priorities to ensure they continue to coincide with both your present situation," said Laura Parsons, Mortgage Expert, BMO Bank of Montreal. "BMO encourages Canadian homeowners to stress-test their mortgage to ensure a rise in interest rates is manageable. Locking in to a fixed rate can provide added peace of mind in the face of potential interest rate hikes."
Ms. Parsons added that choosing a shorter amortization allows Canadians to save thousands on interest costs over the life of their mortgage and begin building equity sooner.
