Residential Mortgages
Buying a new home is always exciting. Whether it’s your first home, next home, or great investment opportunity, a mortgage broker can help you with every aspect of the mortgage process. Residential mortgage types are varied with numerous options to consider. Keep in mind that your ideal mortgage is one that will best match your budget and provide you with confidence knowing that you have made the right choice to best match your financial goals.
A few things to consider when choosing a mortgage option include:
- Term
- Rate – variable vs. fixed
- Payment flexibility
- Pre-payment privileges
- Restrictions, fees and penalties
- Mortgage portability or assumability
- Qualifying with no income verification (self-employed)
Why Use a Broker?
One of the greatest advantages of using a mortgage agent is having access to a variety of lenders. A bank will only offer you access to their products, while a mortgage broker can offer you more choices through multiple lenders. With this vast product selection, agents help homebuyers and owners get the best mortgage for their needs. Our knowledgeable agents are here to help you with all your mortgage needs; first time home buyers, mortgage renewals, refinancing options or investment properties.
There are many factors to consider when choosing your mortgage type for the first time. Rates, features, options, market trends, and long term goals should all be taken into account when choosing your mortgage. Below we have outlined some of these important considerations.
Amortization Period
The amortization period of a mortgage is the total length of time it will take to pay off the overall cost of borrowing. A common amortization period is 25 years. Shortening your amortization period can help to reduce your overall cost of borrowing. Consider the fact that mortgage lenders charge interest on mortgage loans, therefore, the longer it takes to pay off the mortgage, the more interest one pays.
Mortgage Term
Your mortgage term is the length of your mortgage agreement; usually this length ranges from 6 months up to 10 years. Once your mortgage term has expired the balance of your mortgage can be repaid, refinanced or renewed by your lender at current market interest rates.
High Ratio versus Conventional Mortgages
Mortgage default Insurance is mandatory for all borrowers with a down payment of less than 20%. A High Ratio mortgage is one where the down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price or property valuation. In this case, the mortgage must be insured by a mortgage insurer.
On the other hand, a Conventional Mortgage is one where the down payment is equal to, or greater than, 20% of the purchase price or property valuation. This means you are not required to seek additional mortgage default insurance.
Which type of mortgage term is right for you? In addition to considering interest rates and the amortization period of your mortgage, you also need to review open versus closed rate mortgage terms.
Open Mortgage
An open mortgage term is more flexible allowing you to pay any amount towards your mortgage at any time. This means you would be able to pay off your mortgage in full before the end of your term without having to pay prepayment compensation.
Prepayment compensation is an additional fee required should one choose to pay off the balance of the principal mortgage before the agreed mortgage term has expired.
Closed Mortgage
A closed mortgage term is typically more stringent on payment times and requires you to pay prepayment compensation if you want to exit your mortgage term earlier than expected.
Convertible or Flexible Mortgage Options
Some lenders offer flexible, or convertible, mortgage options. For example, a convertible mortgage could offer one a fixed-rate mortgage term with the same security as a closed mortgage. However this mortgage may be converted to a longer, closed mortgage at any time without penalty.
