No matter where you live in Canada, buying a home can be expensive. Sure, there is a large price difference between a home in downtown Toronto and a home in a smaller town like Truro, but most of the time, a home will have a price well into the six figures.

Most people simply don’t have that sort of money sitting around to purchase a home. Thankfully, mortgages in Truro make entering the world of homeownership much more manageable for your average Canadian.

How to Compare Mortgage Offers?

When getting a mortgage in Truro, or anywhere else for that matter, there are many lenders willing to provide mortgages. To make sure you get a good deal and the right mortgage for your needs, you need to know the best ways to compare the mortgage offers. Of course, one of the most important things to compare is the interest rate. The lower your interest rate, the less you will end up paying for your home over time.

Even a single percentage point difference in your interest rate could save you thousands of dollars over the decades of your mortgage. However, in addition to the interest rate, there are many other things to compare and consider. You need to consider things like:

• Term length
• Amortization period
• Type of mortgage
• Prepayment penalties

Even the payment schedules offered by the lender should be thought about. Some people prefer paying once every two weeks, some like weekly payments, and others prefer paying once a month. While many lenders will offer all of those options, it’s important to find a lender that offers the payment options you feel are the best fit for your financial needs.

Types of Mortgages Available

In addition to comparing mortgage offers, you also need to be aware of the various different types of mortgages in Truro that are available. In general, mortgages will be either open or closed. An open mortgage allows you to pay it off as quickly as you want. You can continue to pay it on your normal schedule, but can also make larger payments to pay off your home sooner. Doing this can potentially save you a lot of interest.

As you could imagine, a closed mortgage prevents you from paying off your mortgage early in most situations. If you do pre-pay, there could be some fines or penalties involved. Normally, closed mortgages have lower rates, which is why many consumers opt for this option.

In a similar vein, most mortgages will have either a fixed or variable interest rate. A fixed-rate is one that is locked in for the duration of the term. No matter what happens in the market, you will continue paying the same rate. A variable-rate may change during the duration of the loan. As the market changes, so will your interest rate. While your interest rate could potentially go down, it could also potentially go up, which means your mortgage payments will become more expensive.

People who prefer consistent payments over their term will prefer a fixed rate, while those who are okay with some variety (in hopes of landing a better rate) will go with a variable rate for their mortgage. The choice you go with depends on how comfortable you are with risk. There are also other types of mortgages such as reverse mortgages, hybrid mortgages and convertible mortgages. Be sure to reach out or speak to an expert in your area if you want to discuss these more unconventional options.

Credit Score Required for a Mortgage in Truro

When borrowing money, in most cases, your credit score and overall credit health will come into play. This is certainly true when attempting to get a mortgage in Truro. So what is the credit score required to get approved for a mortgage? Well, it can vary a bit from lender to lender but is generally around 650 or so. The higher the credit score of an individual, the less risk a lender will take on by working with them.

Of course, the credit score isn’t everything. If someone has a great income, with relatively low debt, but a low credit score, they still will likely be able to secure a decent mortgage. It is up to each individual lender to decide who they are willing to work with.

Mortgage Options for Individuals With Bad Credit

While having a good credit score will make it easier and more affordable to get approved for a mortgage in Truro, getting one with bad credit is still possible. First of all, consider getting a cosigner. A cosigner is someone who has agreed to be held liable for your mortgage if you don’t pay. Because there are two of you able to pay for the mortgage, it is normally less risky to a lender. Another option is to get a bridge loan, which is a short-term option from a private lender that operates similar to a mortgage loan used primarily to help people build credit so they can qualify for a standard loan.

As mentioned earlier, the lender you work with can also dictate if you can get a mortgage with subpar credit or not. You might be able to find a few lenders willing to work with bad credit individuals, so be sure to shop around as best you can.

Some people will be okay with these solutions, but others might want to increase their credit score before applying for a mortgage. Thankfully, there are a variety of ways that individuals are able to increase their credit, including:

• Making all payments on time and in full
• Keeping credit utilization low (generally under 30%)
• Keeping old credit accounts open
• Checking your report for errors
• Ensuring you use your credit card responsibly
• Not constantly applying for new credit
• Using a variety of credit products

Now, this won’t happen overnight and could take a few months in some cases, but if you keep up with it, you will certainly find your credit in a better place than where it was before.

How to Save for a Down Payment

One of the most important parts when it comes to buying a home is saving up a down payment. A large down payment can lower the size of the mortgage in Truro that you need to qualify for. This larger down payment also equals smaller payments every month and if you put down more than 20%, you will save yourself from the added costs of mortgage insurance as well.

Unfortunately, most people don’t have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a down payment most of the time. However, it’s not impossible. If you make sacrifices and have a plan in place, you too could save up for a down payment more quickly than you might have thought. Some tips for saving up for a down payment include:

• Making (and sticking to) a budget
• Reducing how much you are spending on monthly bills and subscriptions
• Automatically transferring money to a “down payment” savings account
• Make more money by selling things, working more hours or taking a part-time job
• Eliminate all of your other debt ASAP so you can put all of your resources into increasing your down payment

Hidden Costs of Buying and Owning a Home

While a mortgage in Truro and your down payment are the largest costs of buying a home, they aren’t the only ones. Some of the other costs of purchasing your own home that you need to think about include:

• Interest
• Mortgage insurance
• Cost of actually moving in/transporting items
• Taxes like a land transfer tax and welcome tax
• Home inspection-related costs
• New household items
• Legal costs

If you don’t think about these other costs and don’t plan for them, you could struggle to afford them, especially after paying for things like the down payment. In addition to the buying costs, you should also think about the cost of ownership when it comes to being a homeowner. These can include maintenance, taxes, renovations, recurring utility bills and potentially several others.
