Insights

Note

Your lender qualifies you at 5.89%, not 3.89%

The mortgage stress test adds $679/month to your qualifying payment. Lenders use this rate to make sure you can handle rate increases at renewal. It also sets your maximum purchase price, roughly -34% less than if you qualified at your contract rate.

Also worth knowing

Opportunity

Accelerated bi-weekly saves $751, for free

Switching from monthly to accelerated bi-weekly costs nothing extra per payment, you pay half your monthly amount every two weeks. But because there are 26 bi-weekly periods in a year (not 24), you make one extra monthly payment per year. That alone saves $751 in interest and pays off the mortgage 1.9 years early.

Win

20%+ down, no CMHC required

Your full down payment builds equity from day one with no insurance premium. You'll also have access to a wider range of lenders and potentially better rates. At 20% down, your LTV is 80%, well inside the uninsured threshold.

Note

You'll pay 45% of the home's value in interest

Over 25 years at 3.89%, total interest is $336.1K. Accelerated payments or a shorter amortization makes the biggest dent early, every dollar of extra principal in year one is worth roughly 13× what it's worth in year 25.
