This video explains why now may be the best time for Canadian homeowners with fixed-rate mortgages to consider breaking their mortgage—even if it means paying a penalty. With recent rate cuts by the Bank of Canada and competitive new fixed rates as low as 3.99%, refinancing could save thousands over the long term. The host walks viewers through a two-step process: first, call your current lender to find out your mortgage break penalty; second, consult an independent mortgage broker for better rates. The timing is critical, as future drops in posted rates could increase penalties and reduce savings.
Call your bank to check your penalty, then talk to an independent mortgage broker to see if refinancing can save you money.
