While most Canadians spend a lot of time and effort shopping for an initial mortgage, the same is generally not the case when looking at mortgage term renewals.
In fact, it's estimated that nearly 60% of borrowers simply sign and send back the initial renewal letter offered by their lender without looking around at other mortgage options. This is costing Canadians thousands of extra dollars every year. Don't ever accept the first offer from your existing lender. Without any negotiation, simply signing up for the market rate on a renewal will cost you a lot of money on your next term.
Generally, it is a good idea to start shopping for a new term between four and six months before your current mortgage term expires. Many lenders send out your renewal letter very close to the time your term expires, and this does not give you ample time to arrange for a mortgage term through a different lender.
Your mortgage is one of your biggest expenses. For this reason, it is imperative to find the best mortgage terms to lower your overall cost of borrowing.
