Hopping Into Homeownership:
Your Easter Mortgage Guide
Spring is in the air, and so is the scent of chocolate, blooming tulips, and fresh real estate opportunities! Easter is a time of renewal and what better time to explore your mortgage options than during one of the most hopeful seasons of the year?
Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, refinance, or renew your mortgage, here’s what Atlantic Canadians should keep in mind this Easter season.
Spring into Action: Why Now is a Great Time
As the snow melts and the weather warms up, the housing market begins to bloom. Spring has traditionally been one of the busiest times for real estate in Atlantic Canada. Sellers list more homes, buyers come out of hibernation, and mortgage rates often shift, sometimes faster than an Easter bunny on espresso.
Tip: Getting pre-approved now can help you lock in a competitive rate and give you an edge when homes start moving fast.
Rates, Renewals, and Refinances: What’s New This Spring?
Rates in 2025 have been a hot, while we’re seeing some stabilization, there’s still uncertainty, especially with inflation, global economic shifts, and potential Bank of Canada decisions.
If your mortgage is coming up for renewal or you’re considering tapping into your home’s equity, now is a great time to speak with a broker explore your options. We can help you:
• Secure a better rate
• Switch lenders
• Access equity for renovations or debt consolidation
Don’t Get Surprised by Hidden Eggs
Easter egg hunts are fun, unless the surprises are hidden in your mortgage. Some banks may offer 'too good to be true' teaser rates with hidden conditions, penalties, or lack of flexibility.
Working with a mortgage broker means you get transparency, access to multiple lenders, and advice tailored to your financial situation. We work for you, not the bank.
