Mortgages in Canada can vary across the country, although there certain regulations are standardized.
Not everyone can obtain the lowest advertised rates. Many factors determine what rate you can qualify for, including credit score, amortization period, and the purpose of the property.
If you are unable to meet the credit requirements posed by an ‘A lender’ you may be forced to take a loan from a ‘B lender’ that charges a higher rate.
Generally, mortgages with amortization periods greater than 25 years will carry higher interest rates. If you plan on purchasing a property as an investment or do not plan on personally living in the home, you will generally be offered a higher rate.
We will help you analyze your financial situation and determine what range of mortgage rates you can expect to qualify for.
Our online tools - such as the mortgage payment calculator - will help you consider many scenarios in a simplified format so that you can make the best decision for your situation.
Mortgage default insurance protects lenders against a borrower defaulting. This allows lenders to offer lower interest rates and lower down payment requirements on their mortgages because their risk is mitigated.
In Manitoba, as is standard throughout the rest of Canada, it is necessary to purchase mortgage insurance if you buy a home with a down payment of less than 20%.
It is commonly referred to as CMHC, for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, but can also be acquired from Canada Guaranty or Genworth Financial.
There are two different interest rate options when choosing a mortgage: fixed and variable.
The interest rate in a fixed-rate mortgage is locked at the time the loan is initiated.
A variable-rate mortgage, on the other hand, has a fluctuating interest rate that can change over time.

The Manitoba real estate market has been growing each year and has proven to be very resilient.
According to Winnipeg REALTORS, the average price of homes has increased by 1.5% and condos were up 5.4% (when comparing June 2020 vs. June 2019).
The CMHC believes this market will continue to rise as income and employment growth spurs demand.
Similarly, the federal assistance programs being offered to first-time homebuyers will encourage more individuals to purchase instead of rent.
Currently, about 70% of Manitoba residents own their homes.
