Mortgage renewal time!
Mortgage is up in May, Td called yesterday to remind me and shoot me the first offer.
I feel best with locked in, just peace of mind to help me sleep at night.
Was offered 3.49 for 5yrs, the woman at TD mentioned if I find a better rate they will beat it.
Anyone else shopping around right now?

Just finished renewing mine a few months ago. Stayed with the same credit union, because rate was good and changing financial institutions is a PITA! Legal fees etc.
Had to have appraisal done, but was painless and came out higher than I expected.
Rate was 3.1 for 5 year term.
Might want to shop to see if you can trim that rate...although there is upward pressure on the interest rates right now.

I have to get on this as well - got my renewal letter/offer (one of the Big 6 banks) a little while back and haven't done much on it yet and the clock is ticking. The offer ranged from 2-year @ 3.09% to 5-year @ 3.44% for Fixed Closed, and a 5-year @ 2.9% for Variable. The rates are supposed to include a "Loyalty Discount" but I haven't contacted them to try and negotiate as yet.
My options are limited though as I need to have US banking available as well. I think that's limited to RBC, BMO (maybe), and TD for cross-border stuff.

last week I was yakking with a young 30 year old at my office building who just closed on a place in north Oshawa
first time buyer with his wife
525k for a 1950s 1.5 storey on a 50ft lot fyi
he mentioned he was all about sleeping at night with a fixed rate and said he got 2.9% for 5 years
so shop that rate you got quoted

I just got 3.14% fixed for 5 years from TD.

try mortgage brokers will likely beat major banks and money still comes from bank
also get rates from other banks
banks will often offer a better rate to take business away from an existing bank, then go back to original bank and ask for .1% less than best offer
the bank mortgage people that travel around selling mortgages have better rates and conditions than the branch staff
if you get a very bank rep they will help move your deal to another rep to save you money

Great info guys.. I’ll post what I can come up with, sucks going from the 2.59 that I’ve had for the last 5!
-
Maybe try RMG. They offered 2.90 fixed for 5. I was a returning customer but seemed to be their standard rate.

If your in good financial shape, have decent equity in your home, push em hard. If bank 1 won't play ball, move onto someone that will. My last term is up this year, took threatening to put balance of my mort on a credit card then shop on their dime for 30 days to get rate I wanted. Don't be afraid to offer up what your willing to pay.
