Why
Use a Mortgage Broker?
Mortgage
brokers are extensively trained professionals that work hard to
provide you with consultation and services regarding the financing
of real estate. Mortgage brokers act as mediators between you
(the purchaser) and the lender (bank, trust company, mortgage
company, investment company, etc.) searching for the home financing
alternative(s) that will best meet your needs.
Mortgage
brokers are able to arrange for a variety of home financing alternatives,
including conventional mortgages, lines of credit, HELOCs and more.
At Alberta Mortgage, our edmonton mortgage brokers search the entire
Canadian marketplace to find you a tailored solution to meet your
needs and wants, and save you money. Learn

Mortgage
Renewal or Transfer?
Generally speaking, a Canadian homeowner renews
his/her mortgage every 5 years. When a mortgage comes up for renewal
most homeowners accept the first offer for renewal from their bank
without any knowledge of how low a mortgage interest rate they could
potentially qualify for. At Alberta Mortgage we will earn your business
by searching for the lowest mortgage interest rate possible, the
very first time you call. Call your edmonton mortgage broker, Alberta
Mortgage, today.
Most
brokers offer similar rates, and a relatively similar set of
mortgage products with competitive
features and options. The difference between brokers comes in
the professionalism of their service and competence in arranging
for your home financing. Find
out what makes us different.
Past
Credit/ No Credit Issues?
Are
You Self Employed?
Recent changes in mortgage lending criteria have
now made it possible for self employed Albertans to buy a home with
as little as a 5% down payment. If you have owned your own business
for 2 years or longer, you could qualify to buy a home with as little
as 5% down! For more information about qualification criteria, contact
one of the qualified Edmonton mortgage brokers at Alberta mortgage
today.
Looking
for 100% financing?
While the traditional 100% financing is no longer available through
most lenders, there are still homeownership options available for
borrowers looking to buy a home with no down payment. For more information
about these products, contact one of the edmonton mortgage brokers
at Alberta Mortgage today.
There's
no need to feel that you can't get a mortgage and buy a home today
because you have had some financial issues in the past, or because
you're new to the country and have no credit rating. The Edmonton
mortgage brokers at Alberta Mortgage may be able to arrange for the
financing for your new home at a competitive
rate even if you were just recently discharged. Feel assured that

The Mortgage Market Analysis by Alberta Mortgage
BoC Indicates No Change in Prime
Rate = Lenders Increase Variable
Rates
In response to the Bank of
Canada's indications over the
past few weeks that Bank's Key
Overnight Lending Rate will not
be increased in the near future
due to the slowdown in the
global economy, the vast
majority of mortgage lenders
across the Country have raised
their variable rate mortgage
spreads. This increase in rates
has created an environment in
which fixed rates have become a
very good alternative to
variable rate mortgages.
With the security of having a
fixed rate below 3.30% for a
full five years in many cases,
existing and potential home
owners have a tremendous
opportunity before them...continue
Low Rates and Property Values
Creating Opportunity for First
Time Home Buyers
On all the negative market news
accumulated over the past month,
Fixed Rate Mortgage interest
rates have fallen by nearly one
half of a percent. Considering
that rates were already sitting
nearing historic lows, this
month's drop is creating an
attractive opportunity for first
time home buyers.
With
new mortgage products out from the mortgage insurers Genworth and
CMHC, 30 and 35 year mortgage ammortization periods are available
to those looking to purchase real estate. A longer mortgage ammortization
means lower monthly payments for you, meaning that in most cases
you can qualify for a larger mortgage amount. For more information
regarding this exciting new product, and to find out what it will
mean for you contact one of the Edmonton mortgage
brokers at Alberta Mortgage.
Can
I pay off my mortgage sooner?
Most Canadian
Homeowners know that the longer time you hold borrowed money, the
more you pay in interest. The same principle applies to any and
every mortgage --the more time you take to pay off your mortgage,
the more interest you end up paying. The mortgage lending partners
in Canada make it possible for homeowners to pay off their mortgage
in a period less than their ammortized loan period by offering prepayment
privileges as well as extra mortgage payment options. The best thing
about these mortgage options is that unlike your regular mortgage
payments, the entire amount you send in extra mortgage payment goes
directly towards paying down the principle --no interest! This means
big savings for you over the life of your mortgage. With many of
the pre-payment and extra mortgage payment options available through
many of our lenders, as a homeowner you can save yourself
nearly 12 years worth of mortgage payments. Using all the
available prepayment options, you can pay off your mortgage in 5
years! But not everyone is looking for the same type of pre-payment
options. For those self employed being able to put large sums at
one time are often more convenient, whereas for homeowners with
fixed incomes extra mortgage payments are often the preferred alternative.
The qualified and professional mortgage brokers at Alberta Mortgage
will search out the mortgage program with the payment and pre-payment
privileges that work best for your lifestyle. Learn

What
else can I do to pay off my mortgage faster?
While mortgage
money offers a relatively low cost solution for Canadians to own
real estate, pay for renovations, take vacations and more, the interest
costs of a mortgage are substantial over the life of a mortgage
--regardless of interest rate. For example, over the life
of a $310,000.00 mortgage with an average interest rate of 6.00%
and an ammortization of 30 years, a mortgage borrower will pay $353,824.46
in interest costs alone. Imagine cutting the ammortization
of this mortgage in half without making extra payments, and just
think about what you would do with an extra $100,000. Call one of
the qualified edmonton mortgage brokers at Alberta Mortgage for
a free consultation, and learn how much you could save. Learn

Take
Advantage of historically low mortgage interest rates:
Today's fixed rate mortgage interest rates
offer a tremendous opportunity for Albertan home owners to reduce
their monthly mortgage payment obligation(s) by refinancing their
existing home mortgage(s). In uncertain economic times it is important
to minimize monthly expenditures, one of which could be a mortgage
payment. By reducing their mortgage interest rate, mortgage borrowers
can save in two ways: first, a lower mortgage interest rate and
lower monthly payment mean home owners can have more money in the
bank to save or spend; secondly, with a lower mortgage interest
rate mortgage borrowers can reduce the principal portion of their
mortgage faster --and become mortgage free sooner! To find out how
much you could possibly save on your mortgage, contact a qualified
edmonton mortgage broker from Alberta Mortgage today, or
