If you choose a 5-year fixed mortgage rate now, can you break later if rates drop?
In a hamster wheel waiting for lower mortgage rates? They’re not here yet, which means many Canadian homeowners are frustrated about buying or renewing at higher mortgage rates than they had hoped to see by now.
Fixed-rate penalties are usually higher than variable-rate penalties. The penalty type you face to break your term depends on your current mortgage rate type. Breaking a fixed rate incurs a higher penalty than a variable rate due to different managing costs for the lender. Even with a penalty, can you save if you break for a lower rate? Let's look at Tom's situation to show how this scenario could play out — he asked a True North Mortgage broker for advice.
Tom’s IRD penalty came to $3,750. Over and above this penalty, with the new rate of 3.99%, he would save $1,350 by breaking his term. Breaking your term is not always optional. Life happens, and you may face a move or sale that means you’ll need to break your mortgage early. If you break your term, make sure to get your best rate. As you can see from Tom’s example, a lower rate might help you save enough to make a break worthwhile.
