How do you have a mortgage change price? I don't get that? Both of mine haven't ever changed.

Mortgage payments cover insurance and taxes in addition to the mortgage itself. Unless you have a variable rate mortgage the portion of the payment going to the loan doesn't change but the amount needed to cover taxes and insurance can.

Oh okay. So I could just include the other charges when I say mortgage here in the states and I could say the same thing then.

I think it's typical to get a 5 year contract and having to renegotiate a new mortgage at the end of said contract. At least, it is here in Canada. Rate goes up, monthly payment goes up.

Do you have 10, 15, and 30 year loans up there?

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

They exist, but from what I hear, they're very hard to get. I would've loved to get 30 years with the interest rates I had five years ago.
