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.

CANADA HOUSING MARKET: THE FALL’S RISE
Canadian home sales rose by 8.6% (sa m/m) in October, the largest increase since July 2020. Listings moved in the same direction, albeit by a much smaller 3.2% (sa m/m). The larger increase in sales carried the sales-to-new listings ratio, an indicator of how tight the market is, to 79.5%, up from 75.5% in September, and much higher than its long-term average of 54.5%. As a result, the composite MLS Home Price Index (HPI) rose by 2.7% (sa m/m)the third consecutive acceleration, and the biggest, after months of price gains deceleration. Single-family homes and apartments were the main drivers of Octobers price gain.
Movements in the market were broad-based, with the uptick in sales spread out across much of the country. Sales went up in 28 of 31 local markets we track. Kitchener-Waterloo recorded the largest increase (29.5% sa m/m) followed by Thunder Bay, Kingston, Okanagan-Mainline, and Winnipegall recording increases of over 15% (sa m/m). While these are mainly suburban secondary markets, primary markets are also showing signs of strength, with Torontos sales going up by 9.9% (sa m/m) and Montreals and Vancouvers by 7.8% (sa m/m). Octobers national level of sales is historically strongthe second highest on record for October after October 2020, and a remarkable 40% (sa) higher than the 20002019 October-average.

Excess Household Savings and Implications for Inflation in Canada
Canadians have built up a record amount of savings during the pandemic. By some estimates, it totals around $300 billion. This stockpiled spending firepower has fueled concerns that inflation could be higher and more persistent than currently thought, especially at a time of growing supply-side constraints.
However, there are a few reasons to suggest the inflation impulse from excess savings may not be as hefty as some believe. The amount of funds in highly liquid cash form is significantly lower than the headline estimate, consumers are likely to gradually draw on their savings to spend, and the reorientation of outlays from goods to services will dampen price pressures.
Still, the amount accumulated in savings is large and unprecedented. This represents an important upside risk to the Bank of Canadas consumption and inflation forecast in the October Monetary Policy Report.
