For families looking at buying a new home in Calgary this summer or getting ready to renew their current mortgage there is good news. Mortgage rates have dropped to their lowest rates in nearly 2 years with a 5 year fixed term rate of 3.09%. With the changes to mortgage regulations this year that created some anxiety for first time home buyers the lower rates are a welcome sign that they can move forward. The new low rates also apply to home owners that have been waiting for a better rate to refinance for debt consolidation, free up equity to invest, or buy a second property.
Taking advantage of these new low rates and refinancing a mortgage now offers many potential benefits including:
•Lower your monthly payment.
•Reduce your amortization and pay off your mortgage years sooner.
•Save thousands in interest over the life of your loan.
•Use a portion of your new mortgage to consolidate high interest debts
•Start a business, take a trip, pay for college... It’s your money, you decide.
Mortgage refinancing is without a doubt one of the best ways to borrow money because of the lower interest rates offered on mortgages.
