Mortgage Renewal or Refinancing: Strategic Options
As your mortgage term nears its end—or if you're looking to access equity or secure lower rates—strategic mortgage planning through renewal or refinancing can unlock significant savings and offer the flexibility to adapt to life’s changes.
Mortgage Renewal: A Holistic Financial Review
Smart Moves at Renewal:
- Explore lower interest rates: Shop around for competitive offers
- Consolidate debt: Combine credit cards, car loans, and lines of credit
- Enhance cash flow: Optimize your payments for better monthly flexibility
- Start fresh: Use this moment to restructure and reorganize your finances
- Remove someone from title: At renewal, you can remove a co-signer or ex-spouse from the title—without incurring legal fees or triggering a sale
Mortgage Refinance: Restructure for Flexibility
Looking for lower payments, access to equity, or to simplify your finances?
Refinancing lets you break your current mortgage and replace it with one that better suits your goals—often with better terms and significant cost savings.
Why People Refinance:
- Consolidate debts like credit cards, car loans, and CRA arrears
- Lower monthly payments and improve cash flow
- Renovate, invest, or access funds for big life expenses
- Tap into your home equity—without new high-interest loans
- Save money by rolling multiple debts into one affordable mortgage payment
Refinancing is especially powerful when you’re carrying high-interest debt. A mortgage often carries rates 3–4x lower than credit cards or unsecured loans.
