Picking the right mortgage

What’s the difference between fixed and variable mortgages?

Fixed rate mortgage

If you like predictability when it comes to your finances, a fixed rate mortgage may be just what you need.
 
With a fixed-rate mortgage, you’re locked in for the duration of your term. If mortgage interest rates go up during the term, you're protected because your rate stays the same.
Variable rate mortgage
 
This type of mortgage might be right for you if you’re comfortable taking on more risk. The interest you pay fluctuates based on the lender’s prime rate.
 
If you can take advantage of decreasing interest rates, you can pay down more of your principal than originally planned. But you’ll need to keep a close watch on rising rates, which could have the opposite effect.

Ok, now here’s the difference between open and closed mortgages

Open mortgages

An open mortgage can be paid off in full, any time, without a penalty.  Sounds pretty good, right? But pay attention to the rates. You’ll likely pay a higher rate on an open mortgage than on a closed one.
Closed mortgages

A closed mortgage allows only limited prepayments and includes a penalty if you want to repay more than what’s allowed.

First-Time Home Buyer Incentive

Good news for first timers! Check out the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive (FTHBI) from the Canadian government. This program helps lower mortgage costs for eligible first-time buyers, making home ownership possible for more people. If you qualify, you could get 5 to 10% of a home’s purchase price as a shared equity mortgage with the government, in addition to your motusbank mortgage. This means lower mortgage payments without a bigger down payment. Sweet.

To get the scoop on eligibility, how to apply, and how repayment works, visit the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive website or contact us.

Mortgage payment options

Pay down up to 20% of the original principal balance, per year, without penalty.  
Or…..
You can also increase your monthly payment by up to 20% of your original payment plan each year (or a combination of both).

This feature is as simple as it sounds – we let you skip one month’s worth of mortgage payments, once per calendar year, to give you a little breathing room.

Having a mortgage is a long-term commitment. Choose a payment schedule that suits you and fits your budget. Make weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, semi-monthly or accelerated weekly and bi-weekly payments.

Covering your bases

Mortgage Protection / Creditor Insurance

Group mortgage protection (GMP) insurance is a monthly premium that can be added to your mortgage payments. Protect your home in case you miss payments due to things such as critical illness, disability and just the overall hardships of life, for as long as you hold your mortgage.
