Closing costs

Some of the money that you’ve saved for your first home will need to include closing costs. These are the legal and administrative fees that all home buyers are required or recommended to pay before and after the transaction is completed.

Mortgage default insurance providers will ask for proof of your ability to cover closing costs based on 1.5% of the purchase price. Budgeting at least this amount is recommended for all first-time home buyers.

Fixed versus variable interest rate

Mortgage payments reduce the interest owing on your loan while they reduce the principal amount that you owe. In the first term of your first mortgage, most of your payment will be allocated to interest charges. By your final term, the opposite will happen.

With a fixed rate mortgage, your interest rate will not change throughout the term of your mortgage.

With a variable rate*** mortgage, your payment amount stays fixed for the term; however, the interest rate will fluctuate with any changes in our prime interest rate.
