New Year, New Mortgage Game Plan: Take Charge of Your Financial Future!

The start of a new year is the perfect time to make meaningful moves—whether it’s hitting the gym, eating healthier, or refreshing your financial strategy. And for many Canadians, that includes giving their mortgage a much-needed review!

Did you know nearly 30% of Canadians are renewing their mortgage this year? With higher rates looming, it might feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. With the right approach, your mortgage renewal can be an opportunity to set yourself up for financial success in 2025 and beyond.

Here’s How to Maximize Your Mortgage Renewal:

Negotiate a Better Rate
Don’t leave money on the table. Did you know that 44% of Canadians simply accept the first renewal rate their lender offers? That’s a missed opportunity for potentially thousands in savings. By shopping around and comparing rates, you could secure a better deal, reduce your monthly payments, and save big over the life of your mortgage. Let’s ensure you’re getting the most competitive rate possible.

Restructure Payments to Fit Your Budget
Managing your cash flow is key. Whether it’s switching to bi-weekly payments to align with your paycheck, extending your amortization to lower your monthly costs, or consolidating high-interest debts into your mortgage, restructuring your payments can make a huge difference. These small changes can free up cash flow, reduce financial stress, and help you stay on track with your goals—even in a higher interest rate environment.

Explore Prepayment Strategies to Save Big
Take years off your mortgage and reduce interest costs with prepayment strategies. From accelerated bi-weekly payments to lump-sum contributions, even small additional payments can have a significant impact.

For example, adding just $50 a month to your mortgage payment could save you thousands in interest and help you pay off your home faster. Many lenders offer flexible prepayment options—let’s find one that works for you!

The new year is the perfect time to evaluate your financial goals, and your mortgage renewal is a critical part of that. With rates expected to shift throughout 2025, now is the time to take control, save money, and secure your financial future.
