Brokerage #13763
Mortgage refinancing in Ottawa means replacing your existing mortgage with a new one — typically to access a lower interest rate, unlock home equity, or consolidate high-interest debt at mortgage rates. Ottawa homeowners can refinance up to 80% of their property's appraised value. On a $720K Ottawa home that's up to $576K in available financing.
The most common reason: locking in today's lower rates instead of staying on a 2022–2023 mortgage. Every 1% rate reduction on a $490K mortgage saves $408/month.
If you're on a 5.5%+ rate and haven't refinanced, here's what staying put is costing a typical Ottawa homeowner.

These are the three most common reasons Ottawa homeowners refinance with lendsimpl.
A Ottawa homeowner signed at the peak in 2023. Their bank never called. After switching with lendsimpl to 4.49%, they pocket $531/month every month.
A Ottawa couple was paying $867/month interest alone on credit cards. They rolled it into their mortgage refinance and now that debt costs $654/month less each month.
Their Ottawa property had appreciated. lendsimpl unlocked equity at mortgage rates — the rental income now covers most of their most of their monthly mortgage payment.

Mortgage refinancing in Ottawa means replacing your current mortgage with a new one — at a better rate, larger amount, or different terms. Ottawa homeowners refinance to lower monthly payments, access home equity up to 80% of their property's value, or consolidate high-interest debt at mortgage rates.
Ottawa homeowners with a $490K mortgage could save $449–$613 per month by switching from a 5.5–5.9% rate to around 4.4%. That's $5,388–$7,356 per year. lendsimpl models your exact savings before you commit.
Refinancing in Ottawa makes sense when current rates are at least 0.50% lower than your existing rate, you need equity access for renovations or investments, you want to consolidate high-interest debt, or your income/credit has improved since you first got your mortgage.
Fixed mortgages: the greater of 3 months' interest or IRD (Interest Rate Differential). Variable mortgages: typically only 3 months' interest — significantly lower. lendsimpl models your break-even point to confirm savings exceed penalties before you proceed.
