Types of Mortgages

 

Closed Fixed Rate

A closed fixed rate mortgage provides you with predictable payments and the certainty your mortgage rate will not change for the term of your mortgage.

Open Fixed Rate

An open fixed rate mortgage provides you a mortgage with predictable payments and the certainty your mortgage rate will not change for the term of your mortgage.

In addition it may be paid down or off at anytime without penalty.  

Closed Variable Mortgage

A closed rate variable mortgage provides you with a mortgage with predictable payments, however your rate will fluctuate based on the Credit Union prime rate. This is ideal when interest rates are dropping but in an increased rate environment your payments might not be sufficient to cover your required interest cost which can increase your amortization, your mortgage payments may increase significantly at renewal time.
