At True North Mortgage, our lower mortgage rates save our clients over $3,000 on average — sometimes up to $15,000 or more, depending on your details.

Our salaried, highly trained True North Mortgage brokers do huge volume, and we pass along a rate discount to lower your rate, sometimes with your own bank. Our rates are proven to be 0.20% lower on average compared to the big banks and other competitors, and have been for years.

Are your mortgage needs more complex? If you don't quite fit the big-bank mold, we also have the flexibility to offer you short-term mortgage solutions that save you time and stress.

Along with the federal stress test, your rate will depend on your down payment percentage compared to the overall mortgage size, your credit score and even your purchase timeline. We can help answer all your questions and outline the details so you can make clearer decisions.

Ontario needs housing — and comes with a higher-priced market.

It's all about finding the right home and mortgage choice in a Canadian province where many people choose to live but where housing starts are still 'challenged' by taxes (upon taxes) and government red tape.

Ontario's October 2024 housing market activity increased by an impressive 34% year-over-year — up 14% since last month, with Ottawa (+39.3%) and the GTA (34.1%) leading the way. Yet sales are still 12% below the province's 10-year average.

The burst of activity came with a new listings gain of 3.1% year-over-year, taking the inventory level down to 3.1 months (from September's 3.9 months). Both of these stats are well above 10-year averages. The provincial SNLR (sales-to-new-listings ratio) pushed to 48.6% (from last month's 41%), with most Ontario centres showing balanced markets, except for Ottawa and Sudbury as seller's markets.

Expensive home prices in Ontario make it less palatable compared to most of the nation (read that as less affordable), especially for first-time home buyers.

Ontario's average home price notched up 3.1% year-over-year to $887,259 (from last month's $869,697). Only two centres logged price drops, in London and St. Catharines, by -6.6% and -3.4%, respectively. The biggest year-over-year price increases were in the Sudbury (15%), Windsor (7.5%) and Hamilton (5.1%) markets.

How will Ontario housing markets be impacted as interest rates continue their predicted decline into 2025? An impending wall of upcoming mortgage renewals is expected to pressure household budgets and may lead to increased listings, perhaps in time for the anticipated Spring 2025 bustle.
