In today’s market, renters and even homeowners in Canada are seized by the desire to save enough funds for down payments. The reason is simple. Canadian mortgage rates are going down and real estate prices are in full swing.
To cover the heavy demand for more mortgages, lenders have adapted flexible techniques, like lowering down their Canadian mortgage rates and coming up with new products all the time.
A traditional Canadian mortgage rate would be a loan requiring the buyer to put down 20 per cent of the property’s value in cash. Such a Canadian mortgage rate requires a big amount of money but the benefits are great.
Look around for low Canadian mortgage rates
Shopping around the Canadian mortgage rate market can cut down your down payment costs. With a little research, buyers can even access the posted Canadian mortgage rates and interest rates of large banks and get them for less, about one percentage point or sometimes more.
For instance, the Canadian brokering company in Montreal, Multi-Prets Hypotheques is currently offering their customers a five-year Canadian mortgage rate of 5.1 per cent. This is low compared to other banks posted Canadian mortgage rate of 6.5 per cent. This allows consumers to save thousands of dollars in Canadian mortgage rates and interest rates alone over the life of their loan.
Lower down Canadian mortgage rate with CMHC loans
Another way to lower down Canadian mortgage rates and minimize the amount of cash you put down is to get a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) insured mortgage. A CMHC-insured mortgage can reduce the Canadian mortgage rate and down payment to 5 per cent. That Canadian mortgage rate is 20 per cent lower than traditional mortgage loans.
With a CMHC-insured mortgage, you get a loan that is like most other loans except that you get insurance from CMHC on the additional loan amount, which is the difference between the traditional 25 per cent Canadian mortgage rate and the actual payment you put down. Getting a CMHC insurance involves only a one-time payment with Canadian mortgage rates varying between 1 per cent and 3.25 per cent of the total loan, depending on the amount of cash put down.
Low Canadian mortgage rates with non-standard mortgages
Reducing your Canadian mortgage rate can also be achieved by opting for non-standard mortgages. Aggressive financial market players like Toronto’s Xceed Mortgage Corporation offer incredibly low Canadian mortgage rates and minimum down payments.
Getting a non-standard mortgage is perfect for people who have large earning powers but few capital resources. Because they have few assets to back them up, lenders might up their Canadian mortgage rates when they apply for loans. For instance, an entrepreneur whose assets are mainly invested in her business wants to apply for a loan. Her chances of a getting a low Canadian mortgage rate for a traditional loan is less compared to getting a reduced Canadian mortgage rate from a non-standard mortgage.
Lenders of non-standard loans will cover the entire purchase price of your house, leaving you to save a lot on high Canadian mortgage rates and a large down payment. However, lenders will only provide financial backing if your total monthly financial commitments (debt, interest, taxes, etc.) are no higher than 40 per cent of your monthly income.
