You picked a 5-year fixed rate because “stability” felt safe, but here’s what most people don’t know when they sign: 6 in 10 Canadian homeowners break their mortgage before the term is up. Life happens: job relocation, growing family, divorce, a house that no longer fits. And when it does, your “safe” fixed rate can turn into the expensive choice:

📊 Variable rate penalty: ~3 months’ interest
📊 Fixed rate penalty: Interest Rate Differential (IRD) — often 2-4x higher than variable, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars

Sometimes borrowers are able to port their fixed-rate mortgages to a new property, but it’s not automatic; it depends on your lender, your new property qualifying, and timing lining up perfectly. Miss any of those three and you’re paying full penalty anyway.

The real question isn’t “fixed or variable?”
It’s “how likely am I to need out of this before the term ends?”

✅ Staying put 5+ years, want predictable payments → fixed often makes sense
✅ Career mobility, growing family, might upsize soon → variable’s lower penalty could save you thousands if plans change
✅ Either way → ask about porting rules before you sign, not after you need them

The mortgage that “protects” you on paper can cost you the most in real life. Know your exit before you need one. And always, always speak to a qualified, licensed mortgage agent before signing because the rate isn’t the only thing that matters. The wrong product can cost you far more than a marginally lower rate.

If you guessed “overpricing your home” you would be correct.

It sounds logical: list high, leave room to negotiate, and see what happens. In reality, it’s one of the fastest ways to sell for less.

When a new listing hits the market, it receives the most attention from buyers and agents in the first couple of weeks. If the price isn’t supported by the market, qualified buyers often skip it altogether, assuming the seller isn’t realistic. By the time the price is reduced, the listing has already lost its momentum and buyers begin asking, “What’s wrong with this property?”

The data backs this up: A study of 13,000+ home sales found that homes requiring price reductions ultimately sold for two to three times more below their original list price than the amount of the price cut itself, meaning overpricing can cost sellers far more than they expect.

A strategically priced home attracts more qualified buyers, creates stronger competition, spends less time on the market, and statistically results in a higher final sale price than a home that starts too high and chases the market down.

Pricing correctly from day one isn’t leaving money on the table—it’s the best way to maximize it.

Using a bank’s mortgage specialist is a bit like selling your home with ComFree. Will it work? Sometimes. Will it give you access to every option available? Probably not.

Just as most homeowners choose a licensed REALTOR® because they want expert advice, broader market exposure, skilled negotiation, and someone working in their best interests, buyers deserve the same when it comes to their mortgage.

A licensed mortgage agent isn’t tied to a single lender. They can compare products and rates from multiple lenders, structure financing to fit a client’s unique situation, and often find solutions that simply aren’t available through one bank alone.

As REALTORS®, you work hard to help your clients make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. Don’t stop at the purchase agreement.

Partner with a licensed mortgage agent who can provide choice, expertise, and personalized guidance—not just the products offered by one institution.

Your clients will appreciate the difference, and so will your referrals.
