Toronto Mortgage Expert on Breaking your Prime plus Mortgage

StumbleUpon 2 Like 0 Retweet 0

Does it make sense to get out of your mortgage that is at a "prime +" rate?

Answered by mortgage broker David Plaxton

Yes, it could make excellent financial sense, depending on your situation. Assume you got your Prime Plus Variable Mortgage 2 years ago, you have 3 years remaining until you renew, and your mortgage balance is currently $150,000. Over the next 3 years, your total interest costs will be $19,299. But, if you break your mortgage and take a new one, the next 3 years at today's rates will only cost you $10,061 in interest. After you net out the penalty to break your mortgage, you are better off! Your principal balance will also be slightly lower after those 3 years, which is a further benefit.

saving grace omlette

Our svelte client Jennifer Lo is one of the best eaters I know! 

I fondly recall the time during one of our condo hunting expeditions when we stopped for refreshment at the Drake. We ordered a bunch of things to share and much to my awe and delight Jen shared my desire to try one of everything and relished every morsel like a good foodie should!

Her blog jeniseating.blogspot.com, chronicles her culinary adventures both here in Toronto and throughout the world including Asia, Miami, Vancouver, Vegas, Paris, London, San Fran, NYC and that other food mecca, Stratford Ontario. Her blog is fun and informative and really captures her enthusiastic appetite for food and life.

Tim Enochs and Irrefutable Succes

Julie here - I have to say - this world is getting smaller with the invention of things like facebook, twittering and blogging.  I love catching glimpses of what some of my mentors, friends and peeps are up to. 

One of my fave new blogs is my wise business coach - Tim Enochs.  Obviously it is important to me to hear where he's at as we work so closely together in helping my business and clientele. 

Have to say there's some really cool stories you may enjoy too...

Did you hear about Genny the Black Lab who tried to run for mayor of Clarington in Durham Region?

Great story - and lots of good reasons that dogs make excellent polititicians.

The story has made international publications! Seriously. Way to spice up the Mayoral race!
