Understanding pre-approvals, credit scores, and interest rates to prepare for your next home purchase.

When buying a home, one of the most important steps is arranging financing. Knowing how mortgages work — and what lenders look for — can help you get the best rate and avoid surprises. Here’s a simple breakdown of the basics:

1. Get Pre-Approved Before You Start Shopping

A mortgage pre-approval is your first step.

  • It shows you how much you can afford based on your income, debts, and down payment.

  • It helps you set a clear budget before looking at homes.

  • It tells sellers you’re a serious buyer when submitting an offer.

💡 Tip: Ask your mortgage broker or bank to provide a written pre-approval with an interest rate hold — this can protect you if rates rise while you’re house hunting.

2. Know Your Credit Score

Your credit score plays a big role in the mortgage approval process.

  • A score of 680 or higher is considered strong and will usually qualify you for the best rates.

  • Lower scores may still get approved, but you may pay a higher interest rate or need a larger down payment.

  • Improving your score by paying down debt, avoiding new credit, and making payments on time can make a big difference.

3. Understand Interest Rates

Interest rates directly affect your monthly payment.

  • Fixed Rate Mortgages: Your rate stays the same for the full term (popular for budgeting).

  • Variable Rate Mortgages: Your rate can move up or down with the Bank of Canada’s prime rate (can save money when rates are low).

📈 Rates can change quickly — in Durham Region’s competitive market, being pre-approved with a rate hold ensures you’re ready to act when you find the right home.

4. Don’t Forget About Closing Costs

Beyond your down payment, lenders want to see that you can cover additional expenses:

  • Legal fees & land transfer tax

  • Home inspection & appraisal fees

  • Adjustments for property taxes or utilities

Budgeting for these costs early prevents surprises on closing day.

✅ Final Thoughts

Understanding mortgage and financing basics is the key to buying your home with confidence. From pre-approvals and credit scores to keeping an eye on interest rates, preparation makes the process smoother and less stressful.
