How Calgary buyers actually get a competitive mortgage rate
Getting a Competitive Mortgage Rate in Calgary
The advertised rate and the rate you are offered are rarely the same number. What you actually get depends on your file, the type of mortgage, and who you talk to — and the cheapest rate is not always the cheapest mortgage.
Why the Advertised Rate Is Not Your Rate
Posted rates usually assume a specific scenario — a certain term, a certain down payment, an insured mortgage, a strong credit file. Change any of those and the number moves. It is not a bait and switch, it is just that mortgage pricing is personal.
What Actually Moves Your Rate
The Cheapest Rate Is Not Always the Cheapest Mortgage
Some of the lowest advertised rates come with restrictions that cost more than the savings: limited prepayment privileges, a punitive penalty formula if you break early, or a mortgage that cannot be ported if you move. Most Canadians do not keep a mortgage to term. Ask what it costs to get out before you sign in.
