Refinancing your mortgage is one of the most powerful tools in Canada, you can apply to cut costs on your mortgage and other debts as well as to finance your plans and build your wealth.

Since houses in Canada tend to steadily grow in value, there is the option of pulling more equity at very low rates, and using it to reorganize, once priorities and financial life. For instance, renovation may be costly if it’s financed using an unsecured line of credit, or credit card’s debt. Using the mortgage for it while spreading it over the years makes sense as renovations is a long term expense. Same with pulling equity to act as a down payment to purchase your investment property.
Penalty is the biggest cost when it comes to refinance. This is why it’s so important to construct the first mortgage you’ll break down the road, so it will have the cheapest penalty option that can be even reduced furthermore.

There are amazing rates out there. Should I refinance with whoever gives me the best rate?

Refinancing your mortgage is and amazing tool to save you money. Many of our clients take advantage of the market once rates go down. Still, when you refinance there is much more than rate to consider.
To you, the difference in rate of 0.1% or even 0.2% will translate over the course of 5 years to ~$2000-$3000 saved on a 500K mortgage. Saying that, a mortgage that is constructed to allow you further modification along the way, will save you 20-60K throughout the 5 year term. Yes, you heard right. There are much more influential features in your mortgage than a simple rate.

So why do we always focus on rates? Because banks would not want to prompt flexibility with the risk of losing you to their competitor. They draw your attention to rate comparison, knowing that the big money is not there. The big money is in taking the right mortgage in the first place, that will allow breaking it for a small cost, leave your current lender and save thousands of dollars by doing so.
