What’s Your Mortgage Rate? If It Starts With a 5 or 6, Read This.

If your current mortgage rate starts with a 5 or even a 6, it might be time to take a closer look — because you could be paying more than you need to.

We know interest rates surged over the past couple of years, and many homeowners had no choice but to accept higher fixed or variable rates at renewal. But now that the market is shifting, opportunities are opening up to lower your rate — or restructure your mortgage in smarter ways.

At Mortgage Brokers Ottawa, we can help you review your options, stress-free and at no cost to you in most cases.

 

 

🔍 Why Does Your Rate Matter?

Even a 1% difference in your interest rate could mean hundreds of dollars per month — and tens of thousands over the life of your mortgage. If your mortgage is up for renewal soon (or even if it's not), now is the time to explore whether you can refinance, consolidate debt, or switch to a better rate or term.

 

 

🚨 The Problem with Just “Waiting It Out”

A lot of people are hoping rates will drop more before doing anything. But here’s the thing:

• Some rates have already started to drop — and we can help you access them.

• If your mortgage is fully open or coming up for renewal, you may be able to act now and start saving.

• The longer you wait, the more money you could leave on the table each month.
