Fixed: Your rate stays the same for the entire term — predictable payments, protected from rate increases.

Variable: Your rate moves with the Bank of Canada prime rate — historically lower, but payments may change if prime changes.

Rate locked for the full term — stable, predictable payments

The term is how long your current rate and conditions are locked in (e.g. 5 years). At term end, you renew at the prevailing rate. This is different from the amortization period, which is the total time to pay off the mortgage.

How long your rate is locked in before renewal

The total number of years to fully pay off your mortgage. Longer amortization = lower payments but more total interest. Maximum 25 years for insured mortgages (down payment < 20%).

Ottawa Property Tax & Transfer Tax

Property Tax Rate: Approximately 1.14% of assessed value annually (avg. $7,581/year on average home). Ontario Land Transfer Tax applies. On a $665,000 purchase, the Ontario LTT is approximately $10,475. Unlike Toronto, Ottawa does not have a municipal LTT, so buyers pay only the provincial tax. First-time buyers receive a rebate of up to $4,000 on the Ontario LTT.

CMHC mortgage insurance is required for down payments under 20%. Ottawa homes are generally under the $1.5M CMHC limit, making insured mortgages widely available. First-time buyers may qualify for the First Home Savings Account (FHSA) and Home Buyers' Plan (HBP).
