Hundreds of thousands of Canadians buy homes every year all across the nation. While housing prices in Brandon and many other cities in Canada have gone down, a home still costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy, plus all the ongoing costs that most homeowners will need to cover.

Because most people don’t just have that kind of cash sitting in their bank account, most Canadians rely on mortgages to get the house of their dreams. Mortgages in Brandon make it much more attainable for the average person to buy a home, as it lets them pay it off vis affordable installments over many decades.

Types of Mortgages Available in Brandon

However, not all mortgages in Brandon are created equally and look the same. There are various types of different mortgages available in most areas. But how do you choose which is right for you? Here are the most common and popular types of mortgages available in Brandon.

In general, most mortgages are either open or closed mortgages. An open mortgage can be paid off at any time without penalty and normally have much shorter terms. On the other hand, a closed mortgage is one where it cannot be prepaid without penalty, and must be paid according to the agreement.

Also, it is important to be aware of both fixed and variable rate mortgages. Fixed-rate mortgages stay at the same interest rate for the entirety of the term (normally about 5 years) while variable rates can change based on the prime rate that the Bank of Canada sets. This means your variable rate will fluctuate according to the prime rate, which can be positive or negative.

The type of mortgage you go with will depend on your unique lifestyle and financial situation. What works for one person or what they prefer may not work for another. For example, some might be okay with the unknown of a variable rate open mortgage, while others like the predictability of a fixed-rate closed mortgage. Identify your needs and preferences when borrowing money and then match that up with the type of mortgage that fits best.

How to Compare Mortgage Offers?

So with many different types of mortgages in Brandon available for potential home buyers, how do you decide which mortgage offer is right for you? Well, thankfully there are a few different ways to compare them. Of course, you can look at their interest rates to compare one mortgage to another. The higher the interest rate, the more the mortgage will end up costing you in the long run. Even a single percentage point could potentially equal thousands of dollars.

In addition to interest rates, you can compare mortgages based on:

Amortization period
Term
Prepayment options or penalties
The lenders themselves
Is it closed or open?
Is the interest rate fixed or variable?

Also try to compare them according to the payment options. Many mortgages have monthly payments, but you can also get biweekly payments, weekly payments, or even accelerated biweekly payments. Of course, not every lender will offer all of these payment options, so always be sure to ask ahead of time.

The right mortgage for you is one you are confident you can pay off on time and in full, and are comfortable enough with the term, the amortization period and the interest rate. The choice is one for you and your family to make.

Credit Score Required for a Mortgage in Brandon

When getting a mortgage in Brandon, the lender will look at your finances and how much risk you carry as a borrower. They will look at your income and how much you have, but they will also look at your credit score. In Canada, credit scores range from 300 up to 900. The higher your credit, the less risky you are to most lenders and the more willing that they will be to work with you.

So just what credit score is required for mortgage approval? Well, in general, lenders will want to see a credit score of at least 620-680. The exact score will vary from lender to lender. Also, if you have low amounts of debt or a very high income, but a low credit score, you may have an easier time getting a mortgage.

Of course, every lender is different and might be willing to work with different individuals than another lender.

Alternative Mortgage Options for Bad Credit Individuals

If you find yourself with bad credit and want a mortgage in Brandon, you might feel as though all hope is lost. However, that isn’t the case. There are still ways to secure a mortgage even if your credit is less-than-perfect. One of the most popular is a bridge loan. It works similar to a traditional mortgage but exists to help you in the short term by improving your credit and thus getting you easier access to lower interest rates in the near future.

Another option is to get a cosigner. This means that they will be just as responsible for your mortgage as you are, but having one can lessen your risk significantly as a borrower. Of course, be careful when using a cosigner, as you don’t want to drag somebody else down by missing your payments or not being able to afford your mortgage.

You could also consider working with low-credit mortgage providers. Most cities have lenders that are comfortable working with all individuals, no matter their credit score. However, it is important to understand that they will often have higher interest rates and terms that are a little bit more strict.

Lastly, some people prefer to simply wait until they can increase their credit score before applying for a mortgage. By waiting a few months of years, and increasing your credit score, you will often gain access to better rates, better terms and mortgages that better meet your needs.

How to Save For a Down Payment

No matter what kind of mortgage in Brandon that you want or how large the amount is, saving for a down payment is always a good idea. A down payment is an amount that you pay upfront to the lender which reduces the amount you need to end up borrowing. The larger your down payment, the less risk you present to a lender.

As for how much you should put down, that depends on how much you can afford and how much you are trying to borrow. However, in Canada, it is often recommended to put at least 20% down if possible. This is because if you put less than 20% down, you will also be responsible for paying mortgage insurance.

Unfortunately, putting down that amount isn’t always easy, and as a result, you will likely need to spend some time saving up for a down payment before being able to purchase a home. There are a few great ways to save for a down payment, including:

Cut down your costs as much as you can
Work more hours or somehow make more money
Budget successfully
Automatically send money to a separate account every paycheck
Keep your priorities in check

Any of these options, and many others like them, can make it much easier for you to get the right amount to put down on a house. While it may take months or years, if you keep at it, you will eventually be able to save up the down payment, as long as you stick to your plans and make sacrifices where you need to.

Hidden Costs of Buying a Home

While mortgages in Brandon are probably the largest cost you are responsible for paying when buying a home, it is far from the only one. There are a variety of other costs that a buyer will need to make and need to keep in mind when buying a home. Some of these costs may include:

Tax costs (such as property tax, school tax, and land transfer tax)
Inspection costs
Moving costs
Maintenance
Renovations

All of these together can easily cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. While some of them are relatively infrequent, they can certainly happen more than you might think. As a result, before you buy a home, be sure that you are aware of all of the extra and hidden costs and can afford them. If not, you should save up a little more money until you can. The last thing you want to do is buy a home find out you cannot afford some of the hidden costs you are responsible for.
