Getting Your First Mortgage

In Canada a typical mortgage is amortized over 25 years, broken into five‑year intervals. Borrowers may shorten the schedule, but cannot extend it beyond 25 years. Extending the amortization reduces each monthly instalment, yet it raises the overall interest expense.

Usually a mortgage runs on a five‑year term, although shorter terms exist. When the term expires, the loan must be renewed, offering a chance to adjust conditions such as the interest rate or other provisions. The rate fixed for the term stays unchanged until renewal.

Borrowers can pick an open mortgage, which lets them pay any portion early without a penalty, or a closed mortgage that restricts pre‑payments but generally carries a lower rate.

Standard practice is monthly mortgage installments, yet many lenders allow a bi‑weekly schedule. Paying half of the monthly amount every two weeks creates 26 payments per year, accelerating payoff and cutting interest costs.

A mortgage can include a line of credit that builds as you pay down principal. The accumulated balance can be drawn interest‑free when needed, and any withdrawals are later added back to the loan balance.

There are also options for flexible or skipped payments.

Canadian mortgages are often portable, meaning if you relocate before the five‑year term ends you may transfer the existing loan to your new property. Should the new home cost more, you can obtain an additional loan to cover the price difference.

Homeowners' Association (HOA) Fees

Homeowners' Association (HOA) fees are funds that are collected monthly from homeowners to obtain the income needed to pay for things such as master insurance, exterior and interior maintenance, landscaping, water, sewer, and garbage costs.
