When a short‑term mortgage makes sense

A short‑term fixed mortgage can be a practical choice when interest rates are shifting or when you expect your financial situation to change. It locks in your payments for a defined period, which can help with budget planning and reduce uncertainty.

Members often consider a six‑month term when they want:

  • Stability during periods of market fluctuation
  • Time to evaluate changing rate trends
  • Flexibility to adjust their mortgage strategy at renewal

Making informed choices today can help you build confidence in your long‑term financial plan.

The offer is only available for mortgages that are entirely new to FirstOntario. If your mortgage contains a mix of existing and new funds, it does not qualify for the six month promotional rate.

Both the standard mortgage prepayment penalty and the 0.50% non-renewal fee will apply if the mortgage is discharged before the term ends.

To help you prepare, we recommend reviewing our Mortgage Checklist. It outlines the documents typically required for a new mortgage application so you know what to expect. View the checklist.
