Mortgages

 

The path to home ownership is closer than you think

We offer competitive mortgage rates, including both variable and fixed rate options. Our variable-rate mortgages offer flexibility, with rates that change based on market conditions, potentially saving you money when interest rates are low. On the other hand, our fixed-rate mortgages provide stability, locking in your interest rate for the term of your mortgage, which makes budgeting easier.

We also offer flexible terms and something you can't buy - the time it takes and a friendly face to help you fully understand what you need. Plus, we'll cover the cost of the Encompass Home System Warranty Program for the first year.

There are two types of mortgages

At FirstOntario we understand everyone's mortgage needs are different. We realize some will qualify for a conventional mortgage where others will need a high ratio option.

Conventional mortgages

A minimum down payment of 20% of the purchase price is needed to qualify for a conventional mortgage that does not require mortgage loan insurance.

High ratio mortgages

If your down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price, a high ratio mortgage is available and is insured by a third party.

Our advisors can provide more details about this type of mortgage.
