Decline borrowing costs will shrink the gap between the low mortgage rates homeowners during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the higher rates many will face when renewing their loans in 2025 and 2026
Borrowers with a five-year mortgage term ending in the next couple of years are in for a rough ride with the average homeowner expected to pay hundreds of dollars more a month after renewal.Many homeowners who will be renewing their five-year mortgages for the first time next year may be worried about a steep increase in their monthly payments.
But borrowers with a five-year mortgage term ending in the next couple of years are still in for a rough ride ahead, with the average homeowner expected to pay hundreds of dollars more a month after renewal, according to Mr. Mendes. In such a scenario, the borrower may be able to sign up for a new five-year fixed rate below 4 per cent, according to Ratehub. At 3.9 per cent, their payment would rise by just under 20 per cent to $2,655, or $438 more a month.
When rates increase, lenders typically apply a larger portion of the instalment to the interest charge than the principal, which lengthens the time it would take a borrower to extinguish the loan. For example, take a first-time buyer who bought a home at the national average home price in July of 2020 with 20-per-cent down, a 25-year amortization and a 1.95-per-cent variable rate.their monthly payment by 20 per cent in the fall of 2022 and another 10 per cent in the summer of 2023, this homebuyer would end their first five-year term with an effective amortization of just over 22 years, instead of the expected 20 years.
