RENEW YOUR MORTGAGE THE RIGHT WAY!
If you are contemplating renewing your mortgage then you should really consider the opportunity that is before you. There are many things that may have changed since you first took out the mortgage. You may be looking to use your home equity to fund a renovation project on your home. Alternatively, you may want to use that equity in other ways, such as purchasing a cottage or holiday home. You may also want to make some long-term investments to secure your future.
There is also the option of putting your other high-interest debts into your mortgage when it is up for renewal. This is one way that Canadians are able to reduce their debt and save on interest payments. In fact, there are many ways to save money when you renew your mortgage.
Saving Money with Your Mortgage Renewal
There are three basic things you need to do to get the best deal on yourmortgage renewal. Be prepared, create a plan, and set an early meeting with a broker.
Be prepared
This means dont be caught off-guard when your mortgage comes up for renewal or you will miss the opportunity to get the best rate and one that suits your needs. You can start talking with lenders a couple of months before your mortgage is up for renewal. Keep in mind that the longer you wait, the less chance you have to save money.
Create a plan
Before you start talking to your broker about renewing your mortgage, decide what you want to do. Consider the best way to use the equity you have earned on your home. You can also take the opportunity to change mortgage lenders. There is no need to stay with your current provider. A mortgage renewal presents a chance to find a lender who better fits what you want in a financial institution.
Meet a broker
Before you decide on whether to sign with your current lender or switch to a new one, meet with a mortgage broker. These are professionals who can offer you advice based on your unique situation. They can also help you find better lending terms if that is what you are looking for.
While it can take a little extra effort on your part, getting a mortgage that works for you is worth the effort. It is important that you are prepared when you renew your mortgage so that you can make the most of the equity you have. This means you need to be ready on your renewal date, have a clear idea of what you want to do with your equity and set a meeting with your broker well in advance.

Bank of Canada increases policy interest rate by 75 basis points, continues quantitative tightening
The Bank of Canada today increased its target for the overnight rate to 3%, with the Bank Rate at 3% and the deposit rate at 3%. The Bank is also continuing its policy of quantitative tightening.
The global and Canadian economies are evolving broadly in line with the Banks July projection. The effects of COVID-19 outbreaks, ongoing supply disruptions, and the war in Ukraine continue to dampen growth and boost prices.
Global inflation remains high and measures of core inflation are moving up in most countries. In response, central banks around the world continue to tighten monetary policy. Economic activity in the United States has moderated, although the US labour market remains tight. China is facing ongoing challenges from COVID shutdowns. Commodity prices have been volatile: oil, wheat and lumber prices have moderated while natural gas prices have risen.
Prices have come down from their peak in July
From the National Bank of Canada
Declining transactions in the resale market and rising interest rates continue to weigh on property prices, with the Teranet-National Bank Composite House Price Index falling 0.2% from June to July after seasonal adjustments. This is the first monthly decline since the one seen at the beginning of the pandemic in June 2020. Using the unsmoothed seasonally adjusted index, which is more sensitive to market fluctuations, the decline is even more pronounced, with property prices falling 1.4% from June to July. Moreover, price decreases continue to be widespread across the country. In fact, for all 32 markets where the seasonally adjusted unsmoothed index was available in July, 58% experienced a decline during the month, the same proportion as observed in June, but much higher than those recorded since the beginning of the year. You have to go back to May 2020, at the very beginning of the pandemic when uncertainty was at its peak, to find such a large proportion of markets down. While the Bank of Canada has indicated that it will continue to raise its policy rate and that transactions in the real estate market should continue to decline, we anticipate that the composite index should decrease by 10% by the end of 2023.
