As a professional mortgage broker in Saskatoon, at Deb Murdoch - TMG The Mortgage Group, II often get asked by clients which type of mortgage is better: fixed-rate or adjustable-rate. Both have their pros and cons, and the answer depends on your personal situation, long term goals and the state of the economy.

In this blog post, I'll break down the advantages and disadvantages of each type of mortgage, so you can make an informed decision that suits your needs.

Deb Murdoch - TMG The Mortgage Group wishes you the very best in the holiday season and 2023! May you and your family stay healthy and happy!

1. What is the minimum down payment for purchasing my first or second home?
5% is the minimum down payment for a first or second home. Many think you need a higher down payment for your second home. At this point in time, you do not.

When you’re looking for a mortgage, it’s easy to get lured in by a promotional interest rate or be lost in trying to get the right kind of mortgage. This usually results in some key elements being overlooked, such as payments, prepayment options/penalties, etc. Deciphering mortgage terminology, knowing what to look for, and understanding the different types of mortgages can prepare you for the application process.

Season’s Greetings from Deb Murdoch - TMG The Mortgage Group. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year 2022!
