We guarantee your best rate

In Ontario, your best mortgage rates can save you a lot of cash.

At True North Mortgage, our lower mortgage rates save our clients over $3,000 on average — sometimes up to $15,000 or more, depending on your details.

Our salaried, highly trained True North Mortgage brokers do huge volume, and we pass along a rate discount to lower your rate, sometimes with your own bank. Our rates are proven to be 0.18% lower on average compared to the big banks and other competitors, and have been for years.

It makes sense to ask what we can do for your rate.

Whether you're a first-time home buyer, interested in a vacation or investment property, or looking to refinance or renew — we have exceptional brokers who service your area and can access the lenders and products you need for your best rate and mortgage to save thousands.

Are your mortgage needs more complex? If you don't quite fit the big-bank mold, we also have the flexibility to offer you short-term mortgage solutions that save you time and stress.

Along with the federal stress test, your rate will depend on your down payment percentage compared to the overall mortgage size, your credit score and even your purchase timeline. We can help answer all your questions and outline the details so you can make clearer decisions.

Talk to us. Save your money. We're here for you — visit us, call or apply online today.

Ontario is going in the right direction with housing starts — affordability still a challenge.

Ontario’s housing market saw a substantial increase in housing inventory for sale in January 2025, but not enough buyers snapped them up, and sales declined this month compared to last January (when there was less inventory).

New listings grew by an impressive 26% (provincial average) — recorded as the highest number of new listings added in January in the last 15 years.

This boost helped shift the province to a buyer-centric market with a 39% SNLR (sales-to-new-listings ratio), a decline of over 16% year-over-year. At 51%, Ottawa also moved back to a balanced market, along with Hamilton and London, at 44% and 42%. Only Sudbury is still showing a seller’s market at 74%.

Yet, not enough buyers meant housing sales dropped by 11.4% over last January and by 5% month-over-month. Compared to the 10-year monthly average, sales are 18% behind. Sudbury was the only one with a positive sales result of the major Ontario markets, gaining a 0.9% increase.

Ontario’s average home price rose slightly by 1.6% to $862,336. Almost all of Ontario’s main centres increased their average home price, ranging from 14.3% to 0.1%. Only St. Catharines reported a decrease in home prices at -1.9%.

Expensive home prices in Ontario make it harder to afford a home in this popular province, especially for first-time home buyers. Lowering interest rates may help, assuming prices remain stable if a Spring 2025 rush materializes (which, considering the trade war at hand, may be more muted than thought).
