How mortgage rates are determined in Orangeville and what influences them

There are three main drivers behind mortgage rates in Orangeville and Canada at large:

The Bank of Canada policy rate

The Bank of Canada influences mortgage rates through its policy rate. The Bank’s objective is to keep inflation in the target range of 1% to 3% and preserve the value of the Canadian dollar. It achieves this by setting the target overnight rate, also known as the policy rate.

As of today, the policy rate is 2.25%. The central bank uses the target rate to influence how the banks set their own rates and acts as a barometer for the rate at which banks borrow and lend among themselves.

Inflation and economic conditions

The higher the inflation, particularly if it’s above 3%, the higher the likelihood of a rate hike. Though inflation does not directly affect mortgage rates, the Bank tends to raise rates to cool down economic activity and force homebuyers to retreat from the market. It’s worth noting that government bond yields, which influence fixed rates, are affected by inflation as well, in addition to factors like oil prices, geopolitical tensions and broader economic conditions (which currently remain uncertain).

Lender competition

Banks, credit unions, monoline lenders and other financial institutions compete to attract borrowers across Orangeville and beyond. During competitive market conditions, lenders may offer better rates. Shopping around and comparing multiple lenders — including local Ontario credit unions like Meridian Credit Union — can often result in a better mortgage rate.

 

Factors that affect your Orangeville mortgage rate

Mortgage companies in Orangeville and across Canada ask for detailed information about your finances as part of the mortgage application process. They use this to evaluate how likely you are to make timely repayments on your mortgage.

Here are the main factors lenders use to set your mortgage rates:

1. Down payment

Making a minimum 20% down payment on your new home is one way to earn lower rates on your Orangeville mortgage loan. Lenders view down payments below 20% of the home’s value as a mark of riskier borrowers, so they tend to offer higher rates if your down payment doesn’t meet that threshold. Beyond lower mortgage rates, there’s another advantage to making a minimum down payment of 20% on your home purchase — you won’t have to buy mortgage default insurance.

2. Employment and income

Your employment status is an indicator of whether or not you’ll be able to come up with the funds to pay your mortgage. To secure a mortgage loan in Toronto, you’ll have to prove that you have the financial stability to make payments ongoingly. Lenders will look at whether you’re employed full time, part time, temporarily, seasonally or on contract. A lender will want to know your total income from all sources (a salaried job, investments or rental income) to make sure that the size of your mortgage will be manageable.

3. Income

Lenders naturally ask for information about your income to get a sense of how you will repay your mortgage. Homebuyers with long-term, permanent employment are usually seen as lower-risk borrowers than those with seasonal or part-time jobs. Your mortgage application will ask whether you receive regular paycheques from an employer, as well as any other income from investments or rental property.

For the self-employed, you will likely be asked for extra documents that demonstrate your business’s operations and finances. These could include tax records from the last three years, your most recent Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency showing you are current with HST and GST obligations, your business’s articles of incorporation, bank statements and more.

4. Credit score

This is another factor that can impact your house mortgage rates in Orangeville, because it tells lenders how you’ve used credit in the past. If you have a history of on-time repayments and don’t always max out your available credit lines, your credit score will be higher, reflecting that you’re a well-qualified borrower. Credit scores range from 300 to 900. Major lenders in Canada typically require a credit score of at least 600 to approve you for a mortgage.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), sets a minimum credit score of 600 to qualify for mortgage default insurance, which is mandatory if your down payment is less than 20% of your home’s purchase price.

5. Debt service ratios

Here are the two main kinds of debt service ratios:

  • Gross debt service ratio (GDS): This ratio compares your income with your housing expenses. For purposes of calculating the GDS ratio, your housing costs include your monthly mortgage payment, heating bills and property taxes. Lenders usually want to see that your GDS ratio is 39% or less, meaning that if you are approved for the mortgage, you won’t spend more than that share of your gross annual income on your housing costs.
  • Total debt service ratio (TDS): This ratio compares your income with your housing costs and any other debts you owe. This could include car payments, student loans, and credit card balances. Lenders usually prefer borrowers whose TDS ratio is 44% or less, meaning that if you are approved for the mortgage, you won’t spend more than that share of your gross annual income on these combined expenses.

What’s the difference between a mortgage term and an amortization period?

Both of these terms refer to periods of time during your home loan repayment.

  • Mortgage term: This is the time period when you’re committed to working with a specific lender. The length of the mortgage term is set in your mortgage contract. In Canada, the most common mortgage term is five years, but lenders offer other options ranging from six months to 10 years in length. When your mortgage term is up, you will need to renew your mortgage with the same lender or you can select a different one. This process repeats until your mortgage is paid in full.
  • Amortization period: The amortization period is an estimate of the length of time it will take you to repay your entire mortgage loan. In Canada, the typical amortization period is 25 years. This is the maximum period allowed by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation if you need to purchase CMHC mortgage default insurance, a requirement for buyers making a down payment below 20% of their home’s purchase price.

What’s the difference between an open mortgage vs. a closed mortgage?

Mortgages are classified as open or closed depending on how much flexibility they offer in the timeline for repayment.

  • Open mortgages: These mortgage products have generous built-in prepayment privileges, meaning you won’t be penalized for repaying your loan faster than the scheduled monthly minimum payments. This is the best kind of mortgage product for people who plan to sell or refinance before the end of their mortgage term, or those who want to make significant accelerated payments on their mortgages.
  • Closed mortgages: These mortgage products include limits on how rapidly you can repay your loan. Typically, they include penalty fees for paying off your mortgage early or making extra payments. In exchange for sticking to a regular repayment schedule, lenders usually offer lower mortgage rates on closed mortgages. Since most Canadian homebuyers don’t plan to pay off their mortgages ahead of schedule, this is the most popular mortgage type. It’s worth noting that many lenders do offer a bit of flexibility with their closed mortgage products, allowing limited accelerated payments without penalty if you follow certain guidelines explained in your mortgage contract. Make sure you find out what’s included in your contract before you finalize your home purchase if you’re interested in making any accelerated payments on your mortgage.

How much does getting a lower interest rate matter in Orangeville?

If you want to save on your Orangeville mortgage, getting the lowest interest rates is important, but it’s not the only factor to consider. Here are a few other items that can influence the total cost of your mortgage:

  • Pre-payment privileges: These are terms included in some mortgage contracts that permit you to make payments beyond the monthly minimums without getting hit with penalty fees. Prepayment privileges can help you save on interest over the course of your home loan by letting you repay your mortgage faster. Open mortgages come with built-in prepayment privileges, allowing faster repayment, but they typically have higher mortgage rates than closed mortgages.
  • Penalties: If, for whatever reason, you need to break your mortgage, you may be required to pay thousands of dollars in penalties. While you may wind up with a better rate if you choose to go with a different lender, it’s important to look at the fine print to ensure that it won’t cost you more than you’ll gain.
  • Penalties: All mortgages come with some penalty fees that apply if you break certain rules. Most mortgage contracts include penalties for selling, refinancing or paying off your mortgage before the mortgage term is complete.
  • Portability: With a portable mortgage, you can transfer your loan to a new home without penalty. This is a great option for homebuyers who plan to move before their mortgage term is up. A new mortgage is usually then added to your old one to cover the difference in purchase price.
