Refinance / Renewal
At renewal, you can renegotiate everything pertaining to your mortgage - amortization, rate, term etc. with no penalties. Your lender will be interested in seeing you come back, but it's important to investigate your options and make sure you are getting the best deal possible.
Renewing your mortgage:
Renewing your mortgage is easy but it's not always in your best interest to renew with existing lender without renegotiating. As your mortgage nears its Maturity Date, it’s a great time to evaluate your real estate plans and consider your options. Our team of professionals will work with you to choose the right mortgage renewal term, interest rate and payment options. Our goal is to match your mortgage solution to your lifestyle or add flexibility. We work for you Not for lenders.
Strategies to consider when renewing include:
Making a lump-sum payment toward your principal loan amount
Increasing payment amounts to reduce total interest costs
Selecting a longer term to lock in a favorable rate
Selecting a shorter term for greater flexibility
Switching to a variable or fixed mortgage
A major financial institution's consumer debt survey found two-thirds (65%) of homeowners did not compare mortgages from more than one lender when they last renewed. In fact, 20% stayed with their current lender after maturity and did not negotiate; several banks will auto-renew you at posted rates versus fully discounted rates, which can be a difference of hundreds of dollars a month. Don't renew your mortgage with your eyes closed!
Mortgage renewal is also an important time to decide if you should roll your high-interest credit cards and other debt into your mortgage to get one lower payment, boost your cash flow, and save on interest costs. Or perhaps it's a good time to take some equity out for renovations, a second property or for investing.
