Estimates — not a quote or an appraisal. Mortgage at 4.44% (best market 5-yr fixed, Ratehub.ca, 2026-11-06), 25-year amortization, P&I only. Land transfer fee: Registry of Deeds schedule ($100 + $0.40/$100 over $500, cap $5,000). Legal $1,500 and insurance $1,100/yr (NL range $700–$1,500) are estimates. Heating is 2× the Jan–Mar winter estimate. 5-year all-in = closing costs + 5 years of running costs + 60 mortgage payments; it excludes CMHC insurance (needed below 20% down), utilities other than heat, and maintenance.
Rate time machine
same house · same down payment
Same house, same down payment — your payment today at 4.44%best market rate · posted was 6.19%
- Today, best market rate2026-11-06 · 4.44%$1,237/mo
- Today, posted2026-11-04 · 6.19%$1,469/mo
- 5 years ago2021-11-03 · 4.79%$1,282/mo
- 10 years ago2016-11-02 · 4.64%$1,262/mo
At 6.19% — five years ago — the same mortgage would have cost $232 more each month than at today's posted rate.
Principal & interest only: $223,920 (80% of the $279,900 asking price — 20% down), 25-year amortization. No taxes, insurance, fees, or mortgage insurance. Today's rate is the Bank of Canada conventional 5-year rate observed 2026-11-04. The 5- and 10-year rows are two documented observations of that same series (2021-11-03 = 4.79%, 2016-11-02 = 4.64%, retrieved 2026-11-01 from bankofcanada.ca/valet) — fixed reference points, not a modelled path between them. Estimate — not an offer of credit; your lender's rate will differ.
