Market Update PEOPLE ARE LEAVING CANADA’S BIGGEST CITIES AMID HOUSING CRUNCH Canada’s largest cities are getting bigger and more expensive, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to search for affordable housing elsewhere. Toronto saw nearly 100,000 people leave the area, with 78 percent choosing to settle in other parts of the province over a one-year period to July 1st, according to recently released Statistics Canada data. Montreal and Vancouver saw about 35,000 and 14,000 people exit, respectively. International migration, however, more than offset these losses. The data showed most newcomers preferred large urban centres over rural areas. Canada’s largest population centres gained more than 600,000 people from international migration, compared with just 21,000 settling in smaller communities. Toronto alone gained 216,600 people from immigration. Despite the exodus from some of the largest cities, many of Canada’s more affordable large urban centres saw their population increase at the fastest annual pace since at least 2002.

THE PROS AND CONS OF FIXED VS. VARIABLE MORTGAGES

BY JASON WOODS

W

hen it comes to choosing a mortgage, borrowers in Canada have two main options: a fixed rate mortgage or a variable mortgage. But which type is best for you? Let’s

take a look at the pros and cons of each type to help you make an informed decision.

Fixed Rate Mortgages

Variable Mortgages

A fixed rate mortgage is a home

A variable rate mortgage is a home loan

loan in which the interest rate remains the same throughout the term of the mortgage. This means that the monthly payment will

in which the interest rate can fluctuate over the term of the mortgage, according to market conditions and central bank policy. This means that

also remain the same, providing predictability and stability. Here are some of the pros and cons of fixed rate mortgages:

the monthly payment can change, depending on changes in the market interest rate. Here are some of the pros and cons of variable mortgages:

PROS:

PROS:

Predictable monthly payments Protection against rising interest rates Simplicity and ease of budgeting

Generally lower interest rates compared to fixed rate mortgages Potential for savings if interest rates go down Flexibility to switch to a fixed rate mortgage if interest rates rise CONS:

CONS: Higher interest rates compared to variable mortgages No potential for savings if interest rates go down

Unpredictable monthly payments Risk of higher payments if interest rates go up Possible difficulty qualifying for a variable mortgage

Which Type of Mortgage is Right for You? Ultimately, the decision between a fixed rate and variable rate mortgage comes down to your individual circumstances and financial goals. If you want the predictability and stability of a consistent monthly payment, a fixed rate mortgage may be a good option. If you’re willing to take on the potential risks in exchange for the potential savings of a lower interest rate, a variable mortgage may be the way to go. Be sure to carefully consider all the factors and do your research before making any decision.
