WORRIED ABOUT RISING INTEREST RATES? WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?

With inflation now running at a level not seen since the 1980’s, it is widely expected that interest rates are going to go up in 2022. In fact, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Canada have all stated that we should expect borrowing rates to go up this year. By how much is not known, but many analysts are predicting gradual increases adding up to at least a 1% increase in rates.

Many Canadians took advantage of the extremely low rates in the last couple of years to enter the housing market, or to upsize to a larger home, or to undertake those key renovations, or possibly to accelerate the repayment of the principal on their mortgages.

We asked our mortgage expert Jason Woods, Principal Broker/Owner at Dominion Lending Centres – TLC Mortgage Group, for his advice on some of the key questions homeowners are asking.

1. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR SOME VARIABLE RATE CLIENTS TO CONSIDER CHANGING TO A FIXED RATE NOW? Jason: Piece of mind is probably the main reason why people may want to consider changing to a fixed rate. But they should call their mortgage broker or advisor first as the large variance between the two may not be worth it. If they are going to make a change, it may also be a good time to refinance if they foresee a need for additional funds in the near future, for children’s education, debt consolidation, renovations, etc.

Fixed rate mortgages are a good choice for clients who expect that interest rates will continue to increase and they prefer the stability of locking in an interest rate now.

Variable rate mortgages are a good choice for clients who are confident that interest rates will not rise to the point where they will be unable to afford their mortgage payments, and who understand that over the long term, variable rates are usually lower than fixed rates, and they prefer to save on the interest expense.

Variable

5 Year Fixed

2. IF YOU ARE RENEWING OR TAKING OUT A NEW MORTGAGE, HOW DO YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN A FIXED RATE AND A VARIABLE RATE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT? Jason: I personally believe that people need to do whatever helps them sleep at night, but the interest rate on a variable rate mortgage is currently about 50% lower than a fixed rate, and it also carries a much lower penalty. A variable rate mortgage penalty is 3 months interest, whereas a fixed rate mortgage uses an IRD calculation which typically results in a penalty 3-4 times that of a variable rate mortgage. With statistics showing that about 70% of people break their mortgage before the end of a 5 year term, some serious planning should be made before simply switching to a fixed rate mortgage.

3. WHAT OPTIONS DO PEOPLE HAVE IF THEY ARE IN A 5 YEAR CLOSED VARIABLE TERM MORTGAGE? Jason: People that have variable term mortgages can always move into a fixed closed term mortgage at any time without any penalties, as long as the new term they select is longer than the remaining term on their variable product.

MEET THE

REALTOR

How long have you been working in real estate?

and have been gaining experience in all the different dimensions of real estate ever since.

Since the early 2000’s.

What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?

Is there a particular area you specialize in, either in terms of neighbourhoods, or types of homes, or perhaps the type of clients you like to work with?

3 things come to mind.

Firstly, in real estate I feel that you learn more about people, communities, and life than almost any other Neighbourhoods - Our profession out there. company has 18 offices Secondly, I love being a across Southern Ontario. part of the journey. From This coverage area offers first time Buyers to Sellers B R O K E R a level of convenience moving into retirement that clients really and all of those steps inappreciate. between. Lastly, feeling a sense of accomplishment when I am up against Type - commercial, residential, farms, condos, a deadline and we only have one shot to get it vacant lots – I am familiar with it all. And am right, and it turns out better than we could have always investing in learning more about more. imagined, that’s my favourite! I do it for the rush!

Clients - I appreciate Every. Single. Bit. of

REISHA DASS

What attracted you to this business?

Life rarely goes as planned, sometimes it turns out even better! I was in my mid 20’s, and took an administrative position with a Broker to pass time while waiting on some other entrepreneurial business ventures to come together. I told him during the job interview that I would be there for 6 months, maybe 1-year max. Needless to say, I never left! Each of us have that one thing we are really good at, and I believe I accidentally stumbled upon my craft. Soon after becoming licensed, I drifted into investing, constructing, renovating, etc

business that I receive. Even the ‘hard’ clients make my day. After peeling back the layers, they’re usually my favourites!

In such a competitive market, with so many REALTORS® , what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?

I am able to offer clients years of knowledge, skills, techniques, experience and connections that they can leverage. We have proven systems in place, and I ALWAYS answer my phone. These things all make a huge difference in this highly competitive real estate market.
