CLOSING COSTS
A mortgage helps you buy your home, but there are many additional costs that you need to consider. Some costs you will pay at the start of the home-buying process. Other charges, known as closing costs or disbursements, are related to your final purchasing stage. Then there are general expenses such as moving expenses and home decorating costs. Make sure you budget for these additional costs.
Variable Rate Mortgage
Everybody's heard of Variable Rate Mortgages but very few people understand what they are and how they work. For these reasons some people tend to shy away from one of the best products available to help them pay down their mortgage faster. As one of the most innovative mortgage products available, the variable rate mortgage is increasing in popularity among Canadians. The variable rate mortgage caters to individuals who have a higher risk threshold and believe that the bank rate will either remain stable in the near to mid future.
The greatest difference between variable rate mortgages and fixed rate mortgages is how the rates are set. Variable rate mortgage rates are set based on the Bank of Canada rate. The chartered banks add a slight premium to the Bank Rate to establish the Prime Rate. This is what most lenders use to price their various variable rate mortgage products.
The fixed rates, on the other hand, are set based on the yield in the bond market. The bond yields are very volatile and tend to fluctuate, often due to political and economic conditions. This volatility makes it impossible to gauge what fixed rates will do, even in the short-term. There are three main components to a VRM product that consumers should be aware of. It offers an ongoing “prime minus” feature (meaning the rate is discounted below the bank’s prime rate). There is often an opening or teaser rate. (Usually for the first 3 month), and each bank or mortgage company offers a lock-in feature. This feature allow you to lock in any variable rate mortgage at any time for a term equal to or greater than the duration of the current variable rate term.
