Many homeowners tend to stick with their current lender because they believe it saves them time. However, it is important to assess the rates and terms offered by the current lender during mortgage renewals, and I can provide guidance in this regard. It is also crucial to evaluate any changes in life circumstances that might affect finances, such as considering options for debt consolidation, using home equity, or making plans related to the property. Exploring refinancing options can be beneficial for paying down the mortgage faster or leveraging home equity. Refinancing can be done for various reasons, including changes in interest rates, utilizing home equity, increasing the mortgage amount, or making adjustments to the amortization period. To ensure the best rate, it is advised to avoid signing renewal forms without questioning and to take advantage of multiple lenders competing for the best rate.
