While the weather in the prairies like Saskatchewan is frigid for over half of the year, there are still some great things about living there. The cost of living in major Saskatchewan cities like Saskatoon and Regina is relatively low compared to other major cities across Canada.
But despite the housing prices in Saskatoon dropping (along with Regina) recently, nearly everybody will still require a mortgage in Saskatoon if they want to buy a house. However, with so many providers of mortgages and different types of mortgages out there, how do you know which one to get and what makes a good mortgage?
Thankfully, comparing mortgages in Saskatoon is possible, so you can make sure you know which one is right for you. Of course, the first thing you should compare is the interest rate. The higher the interest rate of your mortgage, the more you will end up paying throughout the lifetime of your mortgage. Even a .5% or 1% difference in your interest rate can be a difference of thousands of dollars over the span of your mortgage.
However, in addition to interest rates, there are several other things worth comparing. These include:
You can also compare the various different payment options. Some mortgages will have you pay monthly, some bi-weekly, and others weekly. There is no best or worst payment plan, as it all depends on how you prefer to pay. Some prefer to pay a large amount every month to keep it simple, while others may want to pay a small amount every week or every two weeks.
Remember, the qualities you consider to be necessary for a mortgage won’t be the same for another prospective homeowner. It is completely subjective and the quality of the mortgage will depend on your unique needs and situation.
Now that you’re aware of how to compare a Saskatoon mortgage offer to another, it’s a good idea to think about another major consideration when getting a mortgage, and that is your down payment. Putting a decent-sized down payment will reduce the amount that you need to borrow to buy your home, thus saving you a lot of money in the long run.
It is also important to have a healthy down payment as it can help prevent you from having to pay mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance is used to protect a lender in case the borrower and new homeowner defaults on their mortgage. Mortgage insurance is required for every buyer who has a down payment of less than 20% of the total price of the house. The amount will vary, but it is usually between 2.8%-4% of the total amount.
While it is good to avoid mortgage insurance if possible, it does help certain people be able to enter the housing market a little bit easier. Depending on the cost of your home, putting down 20% is no easy task for many Canadians. As a result, you might have to do some planning and budgeting ahead of time
So how do you go about saving up for a down payment? Well, there are many things you can do or try. This list includes:
If you do these things or others like them, you should be able to save up for a down payment in no time. It won’t happen overnight, but you would be shocked at how fast you can likely save up money if you put your mind to it.
In order to reduce their risk, many lenders (mortgage lenders or otherwise) enjoy working with people that have high credit, as it shows they have a good history of making payments on time. However, that doesn’t mean you need perfect credit to get a mortgage in Saskatoon.
In general, a credit score between 620-680 is the minimum you will need for approval. For reference, perfect credit is a score of 900 and the lowest credit score you can have is 300. Of course, each lender and mortgage provider will have their own rules and decisions when it comes to who they are willing to work with.
If you don’t meet that minimum credit score requirement for a mortgage in Canada, don’t sweat it, as there are a few things you can do. First of all, you can look for lenders that are comfortable dealing with individuals that have lower credit. Their interest rates and fees might be higher, but if you don’t have a choice, it’s not a bad option.
On the other hand, if you don’t need a mortgage right away, and can wait for a while, consider improving your credit score before looking to get approved for a mortgage. Some of the things you can do to improve your credit are making payments on time, using credit responsibly, keeping credit utilization low and not closing old credit accounts.
Before beginning your search for a home, it is a good idea to consider getting a mortgage pre-approval. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage in Saskatoon is as simple as applying for it from a particular lender. Don’t worry, this doesn’t tie you to that lender, it simply guarantees your rate for the duration of the approval. Pre-approval will also give you other information such as the amount you can borrow and what your payments will be.
So simply put, a mortgage pre-approval can help you know exactly how large of a mortgage you will be able to get and what the rates will be. This is an incredibly valuable experience when shopping for homes, as you will know which are within your range and which are not.
Mortgage pre-approval can also help home sellers see you as more legitimate. If you are pre-approved a seller knows you mean business and are actually interested in buying a home soon. A mortgage pre-approval often lasts for about 120-160 days. So your rate will essentially be “locked-in” for that amount of time. If that time runs out and you haven’t decided to get a mortgage, you can simply re-apply for approval again.
When buying a home, many people think about the large and obvious costs like a mortgage or down payment. While your mortgage will certainly be the biggest costs associated with buying a home in Saskatoon, there are many more you need to be aware of. The hidden costs of buying a home include things like:
Also, you can’t forget about personal purchases that you will likely have to make after moving in. This will include buying furniture, paying movers, setting up the internet and electricity, etc. In addition to that, many homes may require immediate renovations, which is something you will need to plan for.
While it is not a hidden cost, per se, it is still important not to forget about maintenance costs. If you have lived in an apartment with a landlord in the past, you might be used to them coming and fixing anything you needed to get done, but that is no longer the case. All of the repairs and upkeep will be your responsibility, and the costs can certainly add up over time if you’re not careful.
These are things that may slip your mind during the home buying process, despite how important they are. So when buying a home, be sure you are prepared for these types of additional costs. The last thing you want to do is use all your money on a down payment, only to realize you can’t afford taxes, fees and the other potential hidden costs of buying a home.
