"If you need an insured mortgage ... in six months, you [can] renew into an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). It’s a decent play to take advantage of falling rates."

– Robert McLister, Globe and Mail, Dec 21, 2023

Are you experiencing new-home or budget-tightness symptoms? Rate Relief™ may be the right treatment to help with closing and moving costs, and home expenses that come up.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

At the end of your term, you'll have the option to renew into any standard, full-featured THINK Financial mortgage (variable or fixed-rate term) without penalty. Renewing into a standard product at current rates means your rate will be higher than it was with this product. Rate offered at renewal may carry an added premium. Tell your broker about your current mortgage details as this may impact your application.

"If you check the boxes, it may be worth [it]. That’s assuming you don’t mind trusting that Think Financial will give you a good renewal rate. That’s probably a reasonable assumption for a company that pioneered interest-rate 'buydowns.'"
– Robert McLister, The Globe and Mail
