Mortgage types

Mortgage types

We can help you choose the mortgage type that suits you best. A few of the most common:

Conventional

These mortgages can have fixed rates, or variable rates (which adjust with Bank of Canada Prime interest rates). To qualify for a conventional mortgage, you must have at least 20% of the purchase price of the home as your down payment.

High-ratio

If you have less than 20% of the total purchase price as a down-payment, you need a high-ratio mortgage. These mortgages must also be insured.

Open

You can repay part or all of this mortgage any time without any prepayment fees.

Closed

A closed mortgage usually has a lower rate than an open mortgage. You can pre-pay up to 20% of the original mortgage amount. But there are costs to pay out early, renegotiate or refinance before the end of the mortgage term.
