Get the mortgage that’s right for you

Fixed Rate Mortgages offer you the security of knowing your interest rate will not increase over the mortgage term you choose. Your rate is fixed for a specified term. At the end of the term, you can simply extend for another term (i.e. 1, 3 or 5 years) at the fixed rate in effect at that time.

Variable Rate Mortgages fluctuate with market conditions. This can be an attractive alternative if you think that interest rates will decrease in the years ahead. If the prevailing interest rate goes down, so does the interest rate on your mortgage.

However, if the prevailing interest rate goes up, your mortgage rate will rise accordingly. Rates will vary.

How Much Can You Afford?

Buying a house essentially comes down to two key commitments:
 

  • The amount you can afford as a down payment
  • The mortgage payments you can afford

How Much Can You Borrow?

To find out how much you can comfortably borrow to finance your new home, talk to a Scotiabank Mortgage Specialist. We can help design a personalized mortgage solution that enables you to purchase a new home yet still live comfortably within your budget.

Buy a home with less money down

It is possible to buy a home with a smaller down payment. To do so you simply apply for Mortgage Indemnity Insurance. This type of insurance lets you put less money down on your home for a nominal fee that can be added to your monthly mortgage payments. Ask your Scotiabank representative for more details.

Additional Costs You Should Know About

While your mortgage will cover the purchase price of your home, it’s wise to consider the other expenses involved in buying a home. You’ll pay some costs at the beginning of the home-buying process and others, known as closing costs, when your home purchase is finalized.
